@@TXTinana - @@shellyd67 @@ylluz I had the cold feet literally and mentally in pre-op. I tried to distract myself and because I was first in I was fortunately in before the panic got bad. I remember being wheeled in and thinking "OMG what the heck am I doing, RUN!" Then this nice male RN said "Ma'am take a deep breath and relax...." Next thing I know I was in recovery---- NO REGRETS at all!

- if I sat in a chair (lawn chair, or plastic one) would it break or attach to me as I stood - sitting in a booth would I have room between me (and my boobs) to see the plate - seatbelt reach? on an amusement ride or even in a car :/ - picture posing (I have never liked it and dread it still at -70lbs)

@@LoisinStA - your stats current? Sorry but I don't understand why at 125lbs you would go to sleeve -

@@Evvydots - CALL YOUR DOCTOR! Better yet, GO TO EMERGENCY ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!

@@KF2007 - congrats making it into Onederland!

@@Michelle Tarver - what about the sugar content?

@@Tanika81 - anytime We are on HERE to support each other

@@Bufflehead - I did the Wellesse liquid too, for one bottles worth, post-op. I couldn't stomach the sweet taste. Are you still the Citracal petites? do you break them in half?

@@Steve_64 - great! 30lbs!!!! WOO_HOOO!!!! its amazing how a 30lbs loss can make you feel completely different. I still have a ways to go but feel like I weigh what my goal reads - which is a dream weight

@@natnat919 - one of my best friends of 31 years did something about as bad. When I told her on the phone I was already post-op her first question was "what about your boobs?" Really??? We have both been big girls for years. My boobs have always been bigger than the norm. She knows that I have considered the possibility of a reduction. I told her that until I got my weight closer to what I felt was normal to me it would be a waste of money. Also if I reduced to a DD, by the time I lost 119 lbs to get to 163 (the most I can weigh to be in a normal BMI), the DDs would be dragging on the ground behind me.... We haven't spoken since -

@@reece1239 - you may want to post under the other forum about hospitals - you may get a response there

@@JenniferP1 - have your talked to your NUT?

@@gayle - do you still get your blood work done at least yearly? I was told I would be monitoring it for life. I ask because I am sure your WLS doctor can provide updated info for your diet.

@@Maryw - I do the same thing. I think it is all menopause, sorry. I am 52. I have noticed being a lot colder - I guess the 70lb coat made a difference.

@@Tanika81 - your welcome. Its a great motivator! I see you are posting a bit more often you are dropping pounds like crazy!!!!

@@glitterpockets - you are so much nicer than me - attitude and stinkeye would have been the "start" button. @@Mistie - nice response sounds like something that would've flew out of my mouth. I am SO over that comment and the one that usually follows along the lines of "you cant eat real food can you?"

@@KEA lot - Happy 1st Re-Birthday! you look great, how do you feel?

@@dlmacarthur , @@Moody Girl , @@Talieanne - welcome lil sisters! Glad to hear you are all doing so well - Happy belated Re-Birthday! @@Moody Girl - another Floridian! I am just south of Jax -

that's an interesting article. thanks for sharing.@@Dr-Patient

@@Titaniumsleeved2014 - I really don't have any suggestions other than following to a "t" what your medical team is telling you. I will pray that you find relief soon!

@@bikrchk - NSV! vacation and didn't gain an ounce! Congrats!!!!!

@@purplegirl20073 - how are you doing now????

@@glitter eyes @ - this was my first surgery. I have had wisdom teeth and stitches a couple of times but nothing like the VSG. I had three small holes and one in my bellybutton. I didn't really have cramps, just difficulty laying straight back in the bed. I figured out I could sit down, feet on the floor - and then, lay over to my side then roll to my back. I slept with a pillow in front of my stomach just incase the husband accidentally bumped me. I wasn't in my home during recovery so our bed wasn't something we were used to -

@@BrownEyedTxGirl - yes!!!! Here's your sign @@Babbs & @@LipstickLady & Elode - you have to read it! WE all need to read this - and "share" with those who didn't! I would @----- to them but that would start another rant :/ I am TRYING to be good.

@@beingfree - follow the instructions and don't be afraid to ask the medical staff a question. hydrate now and as long as possible the night before. Start working the program. Don't worry I saved you a seat here on the LOSERS BENCH!!!
