Oh no, don't say that... I know you'll get better, you just have to believe that. I actually haven't been sleeved yet, paying out the pocket so I had to save money. I'm getting sleeved hopefully by the end of Feb or beginning of March 2014. Hey, I thought about going to Dr. Wiseman at first, but even being self pay, I heard he makes the patient go through a 6 months prep like the insurance patients. I decided to go elsewhere, I'm not waiting to go through all the classes and stuff. That's insurance requirements for those patients. I don't know why he wants self-pay to do that too. But how was he? How was your overall experience.

Thanks!

Thanks hon!

It is stories like this that makes me feel complete about doing my procedure. Congrats on your success to a healthier you.

Pretty close. I plan on having my procedure done in Boca with Dr. Shillingford.

Welcome, Kelly.

Has anyone have natural birth or had to resort to a c-section?

Wow...first of congrats on the weight loss, and I'm sorry you had all those complications. Secondly, I'm happy your doing great without him, you have yourself and your beautiful children. Starting over usually is the best. Also, I want to know what were the complications? Were you just not eating enough?

Anyone had issues with the staples detaching after becoming pregnant. A bit worried getting pregnant after having my sleeve done. I wouldn't want the baby and I in danger if the staples become loose and it cause a leakage. Can this happen?

I'm sorry to hear that. My blessing to you and your family.

Would wild sex...or rough sex cause the staples to pop? Would pregnancy cause the stomach to stretch which will cause the staples to pop? Dumb questions, but I am curious about this. Sorry. Don't judge me, just educate me. I did research, but of course I need a person who actually had the surgery done to tell me, not the scientific method on how it works once sleeved. Bored and curious at the same time.

The surgeon said many people that's done it usual have little to no skin loose at all. The only problem usually is discomfort of the muscle being tight.

Me too. I'm waiting for st least 18 months before I do.

Can I have wine after a while? I know soda is excluded, so once in a while can I drink a glass of wine?
