Yep you will be fine!  Also - remember that the death rate for all of us is eventually 100%.  What kind of life do you want for the time you have?  That is why you are doing this right?  To live a longer and fuller life?

Go get it!

Jenn,

You will be ok.  Wierd coincidence....my wife had the exact same thing (thickened walls) and she had to go in for the biopsy last Friday.  The doc said that they do a lot of these and it is almost always "just to be sure".  We are still waiting on results but they certainly gave us the impression that it is a common thing to happen and get checked out.

My wife has had 1 baby (4 years ago) and they said its more common for mothers.   The thickness of the uterine wall can also vary quite a bit during your cycle....if they did the ultrasound towards the end....it is definitely going to be thicker because there is more "stuff" in there. 

Oh just FYI.....my wife said the biopsy was uncomfortable but not overly painful but they did give her some IV drugs to take the edge off.  You may or may not want them.  She was sore for about 36 hours afterwards but afterwards felt competely fine after that.  Because of the drugs they needed someone to go with her...you probably will need that too (someone to drive you home after).  The whole thing took about 45-50 mins.

Sorry if it sounds wierd for a guy talking about this stuff - I just got a crash course on it in the past two weeks myself.  You will be fine!  Good luck.

That looks amazing!!!!!!!  Scallops are a personal favorite of mine.  How do they do in the sleeve?  They always seem so dense to me that they would really hard to chew well.

I always assumed my seafood after the sleeve would be all things like crab meat, tuna, flaky fish, etc.  It's good news to know that scallops can be handled if cooked properly.

Thanks guys! 

Since when has oatmeal been a healthy breakfast food?  The "normal" dietary advice is making us all fat.

Almond milk works great and you don't even taste the difference in a protein shake.  Very good substitution.

And yes.....milk is full of carbs (lactose sugar).  The lower the fat content...the more sugar.

Saving this for after sleeve......I LOVE mexican food and these look amazing.  Thank you!

You made the right decision - and I hope your insurance company agrees.  I was approved for the RNY or Band but wanted a sleeve and I have been in a protracted fight with my ins. company.  So don't assume that you will automatically be approved - I hope you are! - but be ready to fight for it if this is what you want.

Good luck!

LOL....love that last line.....and this is total mainstream medical BS.  I know a competitive marathon runner who hasn't eaten over 20g carbs a day in over a decade.  It is a myth that you NEED carbs to exercise.  Hell its a myth that you need carbs period. 

What do you mean by usable carbs?

I can unfortunately say that I have been browsing the forums on OH while eating fast food, chips, tacos, etc.

What an embarassment! :(

I heard that the person who died was a OH member (gibgirly) and that she died from a nicked artery.  I haven't been able to find a link to confirm it, but have heard that information from several different sources.  I really wish we could find out what happened.

I am a Humane Officer and am lifting animals all day like you.  I plan to ask for 5-6 weeks off. :)  I have vacation time saved up and we have pretty generous short term disability in CA as well.
