what kind of pain reliever or anti inflammatory
illinoishusker replied to illinoishusker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh I'm all about asking questions, hence asking this one I hope that eventually after losing some weight and working out more that my joints would feel better. I just worried about headaches and the pain right after surgery when you aren't losing much yet. -

Champaign Illinois Anyone? Central area?
illinoishusker replied to simmons775's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I pm'd you ! I do have questions, thanks! -
read your post about being stuck and your dr. doesn't accept failures. You call him and you tell him you need a fill! Don't let his attitude stop what you want. Heck, you paid him and you used your own money! He is responsible for taking care of you.
You can do it! I am pre-op,b ut I have many many excuses. You've done the hardest thing, making the decision and going through with it.

Hope it stays put and I hope that lump is nothing too.

Need encouragement
illinoishusker replied to djw6171's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry he is not supportive and he's controlling. If he is that way he will not enjoy your independence or the fact that you are achieving a goal to be healthier. He will try to sabotage you in your efforts. YOu'll eventually need to decide your breaking point and what you'll put up with. I think you are very strong and courageous to do what you need and to have such an obstacle. I'm glad your boss and your mother are there for you, lean on them. I think you deserve more from a partner and it saddens me that you have to deal with this. Stay strong! -
Congratulations and welcome! I'm still in the pre-op stage. Make sure to take care of yourself!

well they sent in my info, but i'm stressing b/c I think I missed a month by a day. My entire family had the flu , like never been so sick, and i couldn't get into till day 2 of the next month. I'm worried they'll deny me. so i plan to keep up with the gen. prac. until i get approved. sigh. we should do a meet up once we all get banded. -

friends don't treat friends that way, and honestly it doesn't sound overly Christian of her. I think she needs to be more open to you and I hope she comes around, b/c we all need the support. thank you for sharing your story. -

Well I certainly hope you heal fast! I am praying they approve me, but then I'm afraid to fail, you know? I feel like I've failed so many times and I always start out pumped and then slide. I want this to work, but obviously wanting doesn't make it happen. sigh. -

illinoishusker replied to Dustielee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm brand new here, but I'm pre-op. How did the surgery go? How are you feeling? and how is the diet going? I'm so worried that I won't be committed and I need to be! Nice meeting you! Lori
