I ordered a cup of their enchilada soup it's my favorite for my appetizer and the waitress forgot to order it! so pissed! My brain threw a temper tantrum 2 year old full blown lol I told my husband is this a sign of things to come lol my surgery is on September 30th

I quit in July I knew that I would be having surgery in September. I am a nervous Nelly and keep thinking if I didn't stop smoking somehow I would do poorly in surgery or unable to wean off oxygen so I just quit cold turkey I finished out my pack and never bought anymore. a few times I smoked on a e cigarette and e hookah but once I stopped smoking after a few weeks I didn't even want that my hardest thing has been by far giving up my addiction to food!

What's supposed to happen to the exterior stitches?
nursejb replied to sageandcoyesmommy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The stitches are supposed to be taken out each surgeon is different about when they come out. At my hospital I take the staples out on the day of discharge. Have you gone for your 1 week post OP yet -

silastic ring with rny surgery
nursejb replied to nursejb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
apparently it's a piece of silicone that is applied to the new pouch it helps to keep you full and help your new pouch from stretching I've read some articles about it and have been doing research I may have that put around my pouch so I wanted to hear if anyone else knew about this or had it. -
no IM not sick of taking my vitamins I would much rather take them than to have to take metformin, insulin, prilosec, losartan with hctz, ultram ibuprofen all those things that I had to take to try to prevent the other obesity related conditions from being overweight for far to long. IM loving the thought of only having to 3 vitamins 2x daily and being healthier. surgery date is 9/30/13
