Frustr8 replied to Leanbean's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If it is the same tomorrow Monday morning, I would ask again. Squeaky,wheels get greased, the last thing anyone wants is for b you to be miserable,and in pain, especially your surgeon.Sometimes your body has trouble getting used to How you've been realigned. Keep in touch, we'll help if we can. -
Choosing between bypass and sleeve
Frustr8 replied to nrbradley0's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And learn as much as you can, lurk on here, check out videos of whichever one you think you might,want. Many say the VSG is a quicker, easier surgery, that said there are a lot of sleevers on here. as well as those with RnY, which I will join in exactly a month. If you want to know more about one than the other, just ask.Many,of,us will share why we chose the one we did I talk about my decision at the drop of a hat. What we want most of all is to make your,surgery smooth and easy. And although there may be an occasional blip, we are pretty happy vocal people. -
And what kind of relationship pre-surgery did you have with food and how has it changed now?

Only thing better for a Big Bad Wolf would be Paleo, wouldn't it? -
@ lilybilly, are you continuing to heal well? So glad to have you back active on here.

Doesn't everyone with a RuN bypass inherently have a Petersen" defect, from when they had to puncture the mesentary to realign the small intestinal segments? That said, I am extremely happy,your hernia was repaired and I hope you will feel better and heal successfully. And I read they can be hidden, because when a woman lies down it isn't always obvious to examiners. Pretty scary situation for you to live through.

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
Frustr8 replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hadn't heard of it but it sounds neat and tidy, I'm all for tidyness, you know! -
Tell them you were born with 3 testicles, only 2 descended, they have to go in and find where it went. Or you got a boil the last time you wore a Speedo and you want it fixed so you can go on a Caribbean cruise. Or tell them you're having a sex change, you're going to keep trying,until you find one b you like. That ought stun them into silence.🎭

Fat Shaming by Medical Practitioners
Frustr8 replied to nibble's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@ Snapple, back when they put "Belly Bands" in hopes keeping umbilicus flat, they would put a quarter over top of the stump. Then someone decided that wasn't overly,sterile they went to a poker chip instead. Now what do for Dr Hubby's Tummy problem. I lay-prescribe him an,Abdominal binder , now about that hernia, hmm something between the poker chip and a yogurt lid, maybe,better yet a cottage cheese lid. Yep, just,might Work! -
Another cringe worthy,one "Oh he was too good for here" So the earth is stocked with maladjusted, emotionally disjointed beings. Never seemed that way to me before "Oh,you'll forget soon" That was a person I loved why should i be ordered to forget them? He or She was only a cousin,Aunt, Uncle. Hmm only mourn First Degree Relatives?

Tomkitten just reminded me we do have one more guy, oh this guy is a real pip. Wants to take people to John Glenn international for flights out $125-150 easy money. He also comes out from hiding when Kenyon College or Mount Vernon Nazarene University has Parents Weekends-Those parents tip like Drunken Sailors. He doesn't accept fares post Midnight, he might have to transport a drunk and somebody might try to hurt his "widdle self". As an example I had Tomkitten to the ER, was there quite a while,released about 9:30 pm, called Mr Pip for transport, he's 6/10th of a mile away but refused the booking although I told him I would pay more than his usual rate. So I starting calli,g friends, finally found one who would answer, most everybody was out of town on a Saturday evening. So I would not call him reliable.🚕

Frustr8 replied to Born in Missouri's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

Fat Shaming by Medical Practitioners
Frustr8 replied to nibble's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Morbid obesity and he's a doctor? Perhaps he is matrimonially obese, or is he weight challenged or does he have obtuse self image and vision issues, after all,that's just him in the mirror, not 2 friends standing side by side. Sorry but I was married to one for 44 years that put me down and he was always 3 inchs taller, 30-50 pounds heavier yet I was the "Fat Cow" I overeact, makes me sad to remember. When he died,i mourned the man I married no the bitter judgemental oaf he grew into and I cried for the,potential he never realized, he could have been a wonderful husband, was a very well-behaved person until his true colors started showing , I blamed myself but I accept the blame no longer. He stifled my spirit and I had to reinvent,a sense of self worth after his death. Actually told me no one could like me for myself, I was on this earth on forebearance. Now I know Frustr8 is cool, she's pretty wonderful and I didn't have achieve it as an extension of HIM. -
Still want an Angel on left with my son Kevin's birth and death dates, small but pretty. On right arm on wrist, although I would prefer inner surface of forearm right below crease a Phoenix Bird to signify,raising out of ashes into a new bright life. I am brave enough but I'm still poor. But maybe I'll save up?

I once had a supervisor berate the fact that I knew Eric and Casey were not a straight couple and had not ratted them out to her. Said I was against facility policy. I then asked does HIPAA and the Federal and State governments have any knowledge,of this ruling, because I'm sorry,its against one of their laws? She turned on her heel and stomped away.😧
