Or you're not overly sensitive and looking to be offended when you ask for justification to eat tacos 45 minutes post op. Or you're not overly sensitive and looking to be offended when you ask for justification to eat tacos 45 minutes post op. Everyone knows that it isn't safe to eat taco's 45 minutes post op; you need to wait 1 hour. They could be soft tacos. could you pureeeeee said taco and drink it...does that count as liquid........ JK..... LMAO

@@Kaylamh When she and i got LB surg years ago they gave us a card with all the information about our band... Not sure if they do that for the other WLS.For the sleeve I received a credit card size card for my wallet and a key chain card as well as a discount coupon code for an alert bracelet ( cheaper through Amazon)... Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App wow... that's pretty cool. My card is also credit card size.... but i didn't get the rest ... maybe i should look into it...maybe they now have keychain card i can get... Hmmmm Thanks

Wednesday the 28th started out like any other day. Went to work got off at 5, went to go clean a hunting camp (because im financially challenged and needed the money). Did my thing and cleaned till 10:30pm. This camp is no "ordinary" hunting camp... it has 8 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. the only way to get to it is via boat... so i take a 10 min ride there and back. I also do the laundry at my home, so i was carrying one of the tots to the boat to go home. Walked to the dock, placed the tote on the dock, placed foot on the boat to get in.... Foot slips from under me and i end up taking a swim along with my phone... I managed to swim back to the dock and pulled myself out of the bayou. I kept seeing Betty White and her damn alligators in my mind. Thank God i still don't weight 230#, i would have never been able to do that. But i did and managed to bruise every limb of my body (and ego) and pulled a muscle in my right boob...(duct tape dub). It's been over a week and im just starting to feel better. NOTE TO SELF: never go to the dock alone again

Apparently it was a brand new thing, as the pay phone at the end of the hall just wasn't working out. This was way back in 1976. I had to go look up bunny boiler. That's funny. I remember watching the movie, but not the scene. I had to wonder because I ate a rabbit in a fancy restaurant the night I met my in-laws. That is a whole 'nother story, so I won't derail the thread here. LMAO.... Little Bill.... I had to sit and think for a few and was fixing to go Google it when it came to me.... Bunny Boiler... ding ding ding... My youngest once had a bunny boiler too.... glad that ended. Anyway...... @@sarahb309 2017 is going to be a great year for you.... Your starting a new life and with that comes new experiences. Like @ said.... Go out and meet people. But be selective as to who YOU allow to be a Friend.... Surround yourself with positive uplifting smart goal oriented people. The old saying is true.... You are who you hang with.... Remember, the people you choose should consider themselves lucky that YOU chose them...and not the other way around.

@ First thing i would do is report them to Alex Brecher. He takes this stuff very serious. He wants this site to be positive not negative..... look to the right you should see post that he has made, click on his profile and send him a message with the names of the offenders and a brief description of what and how this few are making you feel. He will reply. I want to apologize that you had to experience such negativity. This site wasn't always like this. It's use to be fun, informative and encouraging.... Now if you disagree or write your feelings or ask a question you get chastised. It use to be the worse it got was a few that would correct your spelling and grammar... now it's much worse. What ever happened to agreeing to disagree....? It shouldn't be that way. This should be a safe place to ask questions (any question)... state your opinion (any opinion). Come here and have fun and be up lifted and praised for what you have accomplished not matter what it is. Please don't leave the site as we do have some really great and uplifting people still here... Chris

@@sill21 Soon all this will be second nature to you.... i don't even miss it anymore. One thing i do now.... If im going out to a restaurant i go on line and study their menu. I read every meal and decide what i want that will cause the least amount of confusion. Most of the places i go on the Reg. i already know what i can and want to eat. Examples: I order Soup and ask that they not put too much of the chunks.. and more of the broth. burgers i have them cook it med and throw away the bread. Steak med rare with steamed veggies instead of potato. Shrimp i get them grilled or saute lightly same with fish. Sometimes i get the baked sweet potato. I avoid the pastas... and the fried stuff. I avoid the breads on the tables (this was extremely hard for me)

Not sure... check with your WLS... ask he/she about it... I can look mine up on line..... bonus, if im ever murdered and left for dead on the side of the road... they can track me by my band #.... LMAO. Kind of like Breast in plants... I crack my self up sometimes
-
@@sasharbinx Yes there is.... see above for a picture of mine. Over the years i have used mine many many times.... I do order off the kids meal, down south we have seafood on lots of menus.. so i ask if it's possible to grill the kids shrimp or fish and order a veggie instead of the fried potatoes... If they say no... i order Soup or an a la carte item... Buffets normally let you have for a kids or seniors price. @@Hiraeth We all need to vent sometimes.... I think the point was not the $3... it was the actions of the management. I know that if I had been in the same situation, I would have asked also. I sometimes share meals with other WLS buddies... but i normally I just order a cocktail to drink and enjoy others company.... I had no idea what a "split fee" was... at first i thought, they charged to cut the burger in half...LOL..... I do see their point in the charge, BUT... on the other hand.... You should have been told that there was a charge to split a meal. Any good waitress would have said... that's fine, but we do charge for splitting a meal. I'm sure you would have paid the $3 and not thought twice... or just ordered a al a carte item. I worked as a waitress for nearly 20 years and never would i have treated a customer in such a way. The manager was wrong in the way he/she handled it.... Period. He/she should have said.... Mam i'm sorry you were not made aware of the charge. My apologies... and removed it from the bill.... or asked would you like me to remove it from your bill? At that point i would have said... NO, but thanks for letting me know, paid the bill and be on the way.

@@sarahb309 And yet another OLD person....Me...... What do you like doing in your free time? I like shooting guns... so i joined an all female gun group. I would tell you to find something you enjoy doing or something you have always had an interest in and seek out some gatherings..... One thing i always do..... I never pass anyone with out saying hello or Hi.... I have met some great people like that. coffee shops are a great place to sit and strike up a conversation with others. You have something in common.... you both like coffee... Take a chance... just speak to someone... walk up and say hello I'm Sarah, i love your... and pick something they are wearing and complaint it. Are say something like.... Im new here and was wondering if you know of any good hang outs.... Places like Buffalo wild wing Hooters... etc has trivia night.... Go, let your hair down and remember these words..... I am beautiful, I am smart, I am a great person...

BayougirlMrsS replied to WLSResources/ClothingExch's topic in Rants & Raves
@@WLSResources/ClothingExch Is the person you spoke with the office manager? If not, I would ask to speak with the OM. Tell them what happened, this may move your request faster. How far are you from the office? Is it possible you can go there and get what you need? If so, i would and take the incorrect items and tell them you are not leaving till you get yours. I would hold on to the paperwork till i got what i needed. If you get nothing in the next couple days.... I would simply say, well then i guess ill just turn this over to HIPPA... That should get them moving. -
@@silhouette I know all about having an unsupportive husband..... it's not fun. this is one of the reasons after 26 years we are getting divorced. How far out of town are you talking about? If worse come to worse, hire someone for the first night. I like some of the rest was able to take care of my self the next day. I was up walking within hours of surgery. Or if you have to stay the night.... i would check in the hotel the day before... Set everything up get all your rx filled. Stock the room with liquids.... get a cab to the hotel. Most likely all you will be doing is sleeping anyway. So he is choosing to let you go out of town alone for surgery just because he is being a HUGE A$$.... The best thing would be to hire a sitter for the kids and have him go... but instead he is going to have to pay for a care giver for you .... wow... what a jerk.

I'm Considering Band Removal/Revision to Sleeve or Other
BayougirlMrsS replied to PrettyThick1's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
@@PrettyThick1 GB Gastric Bypass.... But i'm holding strong with my band... 7 years and counting. Lord willing ill have for a lot longer. I know when i got a little off track, coming back here helped me re lose the 20 i had gained and 15-20 more.... So it can be done. You know what it takes you just have to get focused again.... maybe start at the beginning... with a liquid diet? That should give you a good jump start. -
Gallbladder can't be taken out during surgery?
BayougirlMrsS replied to janedoe92's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Gallbladder surg was a piece of cake for me.... had surg on a friday and was back at work on monday. I had had attacks for months before and they kept getting worse and worse... When my dr got in there... He found 4 stones the same size and shape as bouillon cubes.... he is also a close personal friend and said... he's been removing them for 40 years and never has he ever seen perfectly square stones...lol.... leave it to me to be different ..... -

Drinking alcohol with band
BayougirlMrsS replied to madison.alvarez's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't see anything wrong with you drinking.... 18 use to be the legal age. I feel, if your old enough to serve your country your old enough to drink.... BUT... do it sensibly and in moderation.... DO NOT DRIVE AFTER!!!! (thats from the mom in me) I drink now... and if i remember i went out for the first time in May after my Band surg. I don't remember my dr tell me anything about not drinking. REMEMBER: Where you use to be able to drink 8-9 shots.... you might only be able to do 3-4.... I know this sounds crazy, but it's true..... I use to be able to hang with the big dogs... Now im hanging with the tea-cup poodles..... hehe
