I bet I can find a Barbie-size GI Joe to play with. Lol

Damn right!

Dammit! Maybe Ken will have a friend

Yay!!! And we need a Barbie dream house

Wow, at 2 weeks out ill still be on liquids. I hope things get better for you. April

Wowza!!! You look amazing! You're definitely quite an inspiration!!!

Yes!!!! Can we make our beds into bunk beds so we can have more room for activities???

Hmmm. U didn't call her the "c" word. Can I?

Lol. You're welcome. I went over and over so many things with my Dr and Nut that it's running out my ears.

Do not say gall bladder unless it is being removed at the same time. Most sleevers end up having theirs removed later. Then how would you explain having your gall bladder removed when you already told them you had it removed six months ago? Most people go with hernia repair.

I hope like hell you told the doc what she said. First off, that is illegal. Even insinuating what you are there for is in violation of HIPPA policy. The doctor NEEDS to know what this staff member said and that others heard her. Even if you have to call back, do so. If the Dr's nurse calls back you need to ask that you speak directly to the Dr about a violation of HIPPA policy. The Dr will then definitely get on the line or return your call. Trust me, it will be nipped in the bud.

Coffee is a diuretic. It makes most people go to the restroom. Sleevers already have difficulty getting their liquids in the first bit after surgery, so the Dr doesn't want anything else that can aid dehydration. This is one reason coffee is a no-no right after the sleeve.

I'm like "am I getting hit on and just don't know it?!?!" When I saw Laura's post. "Jeez, have I forgotten the signs of being hit on?!?!" Lol It was pretty funny.

Oh I'm straight as an arrow!!!! I so didn't even take it as you were hitting on me. But, yeah, you're definitely posting on a singles thread! Lmao

You're halfway there Cupcake!!! U can do it!!!

You can do this. Everyone says the first 3 days are the worst.

Wow! You're the same age as I am and your story sounds so much like mine. I was in a fall on ice and hit the curb. I wasn't paralyzed but used a walker for a year. Because I was sedentary I gained a lot of weight fast. I thought about going to Mexico but found out Medicare does the sleeve and it took like 3 days got approval. Good luck and best wishes. April

Are you on any kind of supervised diet? I wish my surgery was the 23rd. Lucky duck

Well next time I'll holla at you

Omg. U sound so much like me if I'm not listening to music. That is me 5 nights out of 7.

Last night I finally just slipped my earbuds in and listened to music til I fell asleep. Lame but true.

Oklahoma. But I have the worst insomnia. Lol.

Jeez! I'm so bored and nobody I know is ever online when I am. Lol

You're very welcome. Let us know what the Dr. says

Classic symptom of GERD. I have it, have had it for years and the only reason my surgeon is allowing me to continue on with having the sleeve is because it's been controlled by protonix twice daily for over six months. Being propped when sleeping really does help, but I'm a tummy sleeper, so my daily ppi was doubled. I tried omeprezole but it didn't work for me. Also, I wasn't to take any other acid reducer like tums or liquid mylanta, as my doctor said it makes my protonix less effective. Good luck, I know how scary and painful it is. April
