Wowza! You look like a completely different person!

Why would you have a beer? From what my doctor told me, alcohol is abrasive on the staples, and the little bits of flesh that were stapled can erode and you can get a leak in your stomach that can be life threatening. I cannot imagine why on earth you would risk it.

I just did this on Friday. I called the regular customer service line.

Tobey Hospital Wareham,MA

Pre-Op classes? What do you mean? Typically any kind of group meetings are included. Are you specifically asking about Tobey Hospital? You should call them. -

Has anybody tried proactively using Rogaine for Women? Just wondering if that helped. -
Thank you!

Thank you. How long did you have to wait for the swallowing test after your surgery? What's a swallow test?

Time Changes Everything. Stop stressing about the now!

You got little and your boys got big (grown)! -
I've shared this before on this site, but I think it applies here too. The best single piece of wisdom I ever took away from therapy is "just because you think a thought, doesn't make it true". Try to be ask kind to yourself as you would a friend.

Here we go!! On My way to The hospital

Best of luck!! -
The something worse has me worried for you. Are you safe? As far as the weight gain, your doctor isn't there to judge. Just be honest. And you are taking steps in the right direction by going to therapy and working towards getting your pill/alcohol consumption under control.

Questions you wish you had asked your doctor prior to surgery
Jingle123423 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi All- I am having my final pre-op appt with my surgeon tomorrow. The only two questions I have for him are about my perscription drugs after my surgery, and how long I need to wait for sex. What questions am I missing? What do you wish you had asked before your surgery? -
I'm enjoying Hint waters.

Single mom hoping to be ready to mingle mom again one day!
Jingle123423 replied to Letsgetgoing2018's topic in The Gals' Room
I am not a single mom anymore, but I was for about 6 years. You'll get there. The best advice I can give is make sure you are in the right headspace. Oh, and think about dating against "your type". I went on a date with somebody I never would have thought would be a match for me, and he ended up being the best guy ever (and is now my husband!). -
One statement a therapist made to me eons ago really resonated. She said "Just because you think something, doesn't make it true". I can relate. I remember thinking I was fat at 125. I wish I was that "fat" now.

I have a desk job and getting a sleeve

No, I will be doing mine at a hospital in Boston. I am thinking of going to Mexico down the road for plastics though. -
Reconsidering Goal Weight
Jingle123423 replied to sillykitty's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Gosh, you sound like me. I'm 5'2 and in my 20s I was always around 125. The psychiatrist said that because of my age, it is an unrealistic goal (I am 45). How old are you? What has your doc said? -

Need Advice on Talking to My Wife about WLS
Jingle123423 replied to Jobber's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Of course you would like her support and approval, but at the end of the day only you have to live in your body. You have to make decisions based on that.
