Congratulate to all who had or is having their surgery this week! I wish.you all a healthy & speedy recovery. My surgery is on the 16th. I hope I won't have to stay in the hospital for 24hrs because my co pay willl be expense! But if I do so be it as long as Im healthy!

What did you do? I am a single Mom and still in the beginning stages. Second visit with surgeon, 1st Appt with my other Drs, because of Lupus. Once I have surgery, how am I supposed to take care of an extremely picky eater, rambunctious 4th old? Any suggestions?

About 9 years ago (and a single mom of a 2 year old) I had a lap band put in. Recently that broke and when they went in to take it out I had them also do a sleeve. Because I was a single mom I didn't believe I had the down time to be out for recovery for long for the sleeve in the first place which is why I did the Lap-Band instead. Not the greatest idea I've ever had. Band wasn't great and has in the long run been way worse!

So fast forward to your concern... you are going to be out for a few days whatever way you decide to go. Get a parent to come stay with you, a friend somebody that can help you for about 3 days. Then you will be fine with your baby on your own I believe. Its a lot to think about but worth the stress getting things worked out

Thank You!! I was so concerned about the down time. I was also concerned about the 2 different meals 3 times a day. I guess we figure stuff out.
