Jahair, Great advice! Or Jo Ann. I can't really tell who posted the info. but thanks. I'm sore after a walk outside today! I got started and couldn't stop. The weather is unseasonably warm for MS, so off the treadmill and around the block I went. I was exhausted afterwards, but I feel that I accomplished a lot. Maybe we should each share one thing a day that we feel is our biggest advance for the day. Your accomplishment for the day might give me a goal/something to look forward to. You can tell that I am beyond boredom with this recuperation period. Any suggestions?

Way to go! Things can look a lot brighter after moving around. I'm really glad to hear you sounding better and stronger.

Best wishes,

Jo Ann

My surgery is scheduled for January 25th. I'm glad I just read this thread. It will help me to know what to expect.

Don't know if you were told, but remember Gas-X. It's a miracle drug. Also, the breathing "thing" they give you at the hospital is to prevent the Fluid from building up in your lungs. And, honey, walk, walk, walk. It gets the "juices" flowing.

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. Today I see a psychologist for evaluation. I am very nervous:phanvan

Hi Suzy, my heart goes out to you, read my story on this forum just posted "When will I be full?" I know it sounds like a horror story, but I can say from experience although the journey can be hard it is worth it, just keep going as long as your health is not compromised. You will succeed, it takes months to make real changes in lifestyle behaviours. It has taken years to put you in this situation, and you are months away from a new beginning. No words can tell you about that feeling when you realize your investment is paying off, and you are having what "they" have been having and you are looking better than them because your are "NEW" Its within your grasp now, work with your doctor, use your brain and do your research. Keep "poking the bear" until you know its working in your best interests. It's normal to be a healthy body weight, and believe that is within your reach, it's empowering in so many ways. Good luck and learn to love your band, I will jump all hurdles to get my results and hopefully now I have whats right for me now
