CoramDeo got a reaction from BoredCW in Got a date!!
So, surgery is set for 9/18. I haven't been apprehensive at all in this whole process, and now having an actual date seems to be making me more anxious lol.

CoramDeo got a reaction from Healthy_life2 in Crazy WLS stories?
So we went out last night buying some shakes before they went off sale today. The woman working the register asked about the 8 packs of shakes, and of course had a story. Her "sister" who had bypass in the 80s, and had so many problems she couldn't even drink Water. So, the solution, was they gave her a lap band? What are some of the craziest stories you have heard from people?

CoramDeo got a reaction from GreenTealael in Goal weight
So, as I am getting closer to having everything setup, I know that there needs to be a goal weight on the paperwork to give us a place to aim for, and I know all of the paperwork always goes by BMI. At 5'11", the top weight for "healthy" is 175 lbs. Now, Im not a small guy, I have a broad frame. Is there a better way to figure out a goal than BMI? If I hit 175 lbs, Id be confused for a crackhead.

My surgeons office will actually be doing a urine test to make sure I am nicotine free before they perform my surgery. I am due for end of Sept, start of Oct, no solid date set yet

CoramDeo got a reaction from Frustr8 in DS and pain relief
Thanks. This is my biggest concern because while I am getting the surgery mainly to get weight off the joint and hopefully lessen the pain, no matter what it will take some time and I don't know how well I could handle not being able to take anything OTC.

CoramDeo got a reaction from Frustr8 in DS and pain relief
So, I am in the process of getting all of my appt.s done so I can get my DS surgery done around the end of Sept. The biggest question I have is this, what can you take for over the counter pain relief? I am getting DS done because I have a problem with arthritis in my hip, so I can get more weight off of it so I may have less pain and such until the time comes that I get a full hip replacement. I currently take meloxicam and advil for pain relief, the little it provides.
