No magnifying glass in the blue bar on the right. Only the email thing and a bell thing... but I'll see if I click there it might appear! Thanks!
At least I can't find a search tool... it would be helpful to be able to search for a topic we are interested in. For me right now I need info on dumping 11 years after RNY. It's really bad right now so looking for ideas. Thanks.
tHANKS for the positive reply ipray... I so appreciate it. Best of everything to both of us! Can't wait to see how it all turns out for us!
oh and not too crazy about the flat ass but.... side effect??? LOL!
I loved my RNY~~~ yep, I've regained all but 40 lbs but um... who to blame? I became sick and the last three years all I could do was sleep. It took over a year to diagnose me and the next two years to find the right combination of meds that would work. I've also been taking high doses of prednisone for three years which is known to cause weight gain then there was the depression due to all that was going on with trying to figure out what was wrong with me, doctors, tests, more doctors, more tests, try this med and that med and this combination of meds... a nightmare! And all I wanted to do was sleep. I see all that as separate from my RNY. Is that wrong? I would totally do my RNY again. Sure, there were days that were bad and days that were good. It was all about learning, every day what I could do and what I shouldn't do/eat... Anyway, I highly recommend the RNY but that said I know nothing about the sleeve. I know that many wls people have had issues with cross addictions but I haven't had that experience. I truly believe that someone has to have a predisposition to addiction and I just don't have that problem. Thank goodness! So I think that part is totally individual. I am in the process of trying to get a revision now that I am feeling better so we'll see what happens. But good luck to you on your journey. Have faith and trust your surgeon! Take care.
Good luck to you too.
IF THERE IS ANYONE THAT CAN HELP I WOULD SO APPRECIATE IT! I need to get this done before Saturday.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU
THANK YOU...
thanks so much. I appreciate the reply.
and can I say, wow, you're doing so great...I have slowed way down but I know what I need to do, just not doing it. My own fault.
Take care!
I lost my laptop and my access to my ticker - weight tracker. It seems I cannot do anything about it so I am stuck. Maybe I can replace it with a new one. But still I forgot where to go on my profile on OH to put the tracker on or maybe I can take it off there too. I have been looking and looking and this darn thing won't let me find where I inserted the tracker in the first place..... am I stuck with the old ticker tracker deally-bobber thingy???
If you decide to go we need to figure out how and when and where to meet up with each other. It'll be fun!! And it's so darn close, I just can't pass up the opportunity.
Good luck to you on this journey to a new healthy life. I'm really so happy for you. Take care.
Hey, think about going to the OH San Ramon event! Check it out. I already bought my ticket - with the discount code you can get it for a percent off. It's just one day and pretty close to you so it might be a good day trip for you to take, AND we could meet in person!!!
But the way I feel now, compared to 90 lbs ago............. I won't change it for anything in the world! And I would do the whole thing again in a second, without any thought. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I sleep better, I wake up feeling like I slept (refreshed, not still tired), I can do things that I couldn't before. Have more energy, and really do look better. It is a miracle.
Best of luck to you on your new life.
Don't worry, you're off to a good start. And congrats on getting approved! You are on your way to your new life! Enjoy the journey!
Take it easy, don't worry, BE HAPPY!!!
Keep us up to date!
YAY for you too! I think I only saw Dr. Coates two times, once in the pre-op room just before surgery and once on day two in the hospital. But he is a miracle worker. I did not have any pain after going home from the hosp. Never touched the pain meds they sent home with me. Sure I took it easy, but I kept questioning if I really had surgery or not! I woke up with these 6 tiny bandaids on and felt pretty good. Was up and walking the halls, took a shower at the hosp and went home on day 3. The staff at the hospital was so awesome! You are in such very good hands! Relax and know that they are the experts and that all will be perfect! I would do it again with ZERO hesitation.Best of luck to you!! I know it will turn out perfect!
Take care, Mary Ann
HOLY SMOKES!!! I can hardly believe it. I had to weigh myself like 5 times today. Something must be wrong with the scale!!
How can this be?
Today I weigh 1 ----- did you see that? 1 --- ONE ---------1-9-9!!! ONE HUNDRED NINETY NINE! ONE-derland!! I have not been one anything for 30 years! 1-9-9!!! 1-9-9!!!
YAY for me!!
And many thanks to my wonderful surgeon, his staff, the hospital staff who were the best ever, to eveyone hear that have supported me and my family and friends.
It's been slow this last month, very slow. But it's my own fault since I have not exactly been eating right. So I have only myself to blame. But this has been the inspiration I needed to get back on track. I just love the new me. I feel soooooo much better. I sleep better. I wake up feeling rested. I can do more in a day, have more energy. My bp is normal. And an interesting side effect, I've noticed that I don't have the -- um-- bladder leaking problem that I used to. Amazing. Surgery for that problem was on the horizon, but with the weight gone, don't need it now. I've gone from size 24 to sz 16! Do you know that "misses" sizes cost less? And have more cute things? And I still find myself going over to the plus sizes to look around but they are too big. What a problem, eh??
Anyway, thanks to everyone!
