no sorry . this is the only site i am on .. jack mario425 ...

Well I have a confession.... I'm glad!! He's real, real conservative and we butted heads from time to time. So if you're real conservative, we shouldn't talk politics. LOL

I've always been one of those people who doesn't tan easily (or at all) and I burn bad and then do the disgusting peel. So my heart goes out to you. At least during the peel state, if you burned that bad, you'll probably be getting some good drugs and it won't be too unpleasant. Hydration has always been the key to feeling better after a sunburn.

Man, I'm thinking of you. I had my sleeve revision 6 days ago. It is rougher than I thought it would be, but it is doable and each day you see an improvement of some sort. I have been surprised at how much this site helped me during the first days. If you have a question, there's somebody who has been there and glad to share their experience. I thought I'd feel too bad to be on the computer. But it's a godsend and please know that we really are all wondering about you and wishing you well.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Was the hiatal hernia repaired?
I don't tolerate artificial sweetener. My surgeon said the sleeve is not like the RNY we can tolerate real sugar. I don't advocate sugar but I use stevia and I drink the regular Vitamin waters and dilute each bottle with half Water.

Hey I just realized that I didn't answer your question. No, I do not think that he repaired the hernia. From what he told my husband after surgery, it was in a spot at the back of the part of my stomach that he was saving. So I think I'm stuck with it. But he said that he did not think that it would give me any trouble. But of course I wonder...

My doc also said that we can have suger as well. I think that's rather a mixed blessing for me, but I really wouldn't have wanted to deal with the unpleasantness that gastric bypass patients have when they eat certain foods!

Have you tried "truvia"? I've had Stevia and didn't think it was that great so I bought truvia but haven't tried it yet. One of my friends seems to think it has an aftertaste.
