    He is gone!

    Well you guys it was OK while it lasted. I had posts on my surgery in Mexico completely disappear from here. I can only assume that because it didn't support this site that it was removed. This truly upset me. I'm also on Obesity Help but I don't care for the format. After today's incident, I'm done here.

    Sex

    Played around 2 days after, took it slow and easy at day 5, going at it like rabbits on crack on day 9.

    Pounds and Inches...

    Yeppers! I didn't do much beyond my normal routine for the first month post op. My surgery was 8/29/16.

    How long before people noticed?

    60 pounds was what it took for me. One of the best comments was a few weeks ago. I got out of my vehicle at a gas station and the manager said "where the F--- is the rest of you?!".

    Bipolar swings after weight loss

    Hormone imbalance caused by weight loss is super common. You aren't nut balls, you're normal. You will need to adjust your meds and you'll be right as rain.

    Cpap machine nightmare

    For most insurance you have to fail cpap by not having your AHI corrected using the cpap for 60 days at least 4 hours per night. If you were initially prescribed a bipap that is because in a sleep lab setting they were unable to correct your AHI and your sleep study would show failure of the cpap first.

    I think I broke it

    I needed fiber. I now eat chili 3-4 times a week. Solved my problems.

    Here's your sign...

    I am quite skilled in that area too It's all fun and games until they turn the tables on you and wear one of those clasp-in-the-front bras! Those are the best! Those when released put a smile on my face like a safe cracker getting their first glimpse of the jewels

    I can't tell you how many times I blew the crotch out of my pants getting into my work van.

    Cpap machine nightmare

    Definitely the ramp button. To lower the pressure requires a new rx from your doctor. Your supplier can not legally lower the pressure, they have to supply according to the rx. FYI you don't get oxygen from a cpap. All you are breathing is 21% room air. When you go to sleep the muscles around your airway relax causing an obstruction. The cpap (Constant Positive Airway Pressure) reinflates your airway to keep it open. Picture it like a balloon. Your ears popping is most likely because eustachian tube is swollen in your ears. The popping is occurring because of pressure in your ears just like when you change elevation. If the problem continues you really need to see an ENT. FYI #2 most insurance companies follow Medicare guidelines for cpap which is you need to use it 4 hours per night for 30 days in a 90 day period.

    Stupid Question, but oh well, I'll still ask...

    1. No 2. No 3. Most likely 4. Nope! Yes I'll admit that I snickered! You are over thinking this a bit. If it can be mashed with a fork and it goes through then you are good to go.
