I'm 13 days post op and am sitting in a massage chair getting a pedicure as I write this. Just one of many ways I will be caring for myself now, because it's not just all about diet and exercise, right?

I got a pedicure 2 days before my surgery and a massage the day before! I had held onto that gift card for over a year!

I took my mom for manicures the 6 days after my surgery. We had our manicures and then I went home and took a nap because I was exhausted! I had planned to do that because I had all my nail polish removed for surgery. It was a nice treat.

I can't wait til my wedding ring fits again! No manicures for me though. I do too much artwork with charcoal and pastels. My hands are always a mess and I'd quickly ruin a manicure.

I get the gel manicure, it lasts a month full even with french tips and I do all kinds of crazy artsy type stuff and gardening. :-) but the rings, I am so happy I can't stand it.

I'm in Colorado. My favorite place charges $25 for a basic pedi, but I usually splurge for the deluxe at $35 because the massage is amazing and so worth the extra money.

Then definitely get a pedicure (unless you paint with your toes)!

I am in Maryland and a mani/pedi usually cost me between $40 - $65. The cheaper is for a basic, but sometimes I splurge for the hot stone massage with the hot towels and mineral clay wrap.

I get the gel/ French tips also. For $30....and it does last about a month. I put clear over it about every 10 days, but I find it to be good value to have my hands look sharp daily.

Wow I am impressed with all of the self caring. I am too embarrassed that I am fat and ugly and can't even get manicure and certainly not a massage. Maybe I can change after I lose the weight.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
