July is a good month for a surgery!

Hi, I am pretty sure this one will do the trick. It just makes sense. Take out the piece that just isnt working b/c every other thing has been tried to make it work, you know? What fun. Yes! My book will be entitled, "all of these..." ha.

Hi Tavia So sorry to here your son is sick,you know they never gave us a mommy manual for our kids but we do our best.I rememeber when my niece would get sick man staying up with her during the night getting no sleep and wishing she would stop barfing.Oh those were the good old days I remember well,well she 20 now .She still come over my home when she get sick,she still wants the mommy comfort. Hope your son feel better soon. As for your surgery that is a whole hand full to think about,good luck my dear on your decision because I know it is not easy.HUGS and KISSES from me . I just came out from the hospital three days again coming along ok but feel miserable with my period.I feel so helpless I can even lift up my pockect haha! lol! You know how heavy they can get. Well my dear hope everything will work out ok. Smooches Claire

Hi Claire, Why were you in the hospital?!?!? I am beyond out of the loop nowadays! I am glad to hear you are coming along though. Feel good!!! Thanks for the well wishes for my son. He is a sweetheart.

Tavia: Sounds as if you are quite busy w/ family/personal issues. Glad you stopped in to post! I wish you well on your surgery to redo the Y connection and hope you do not need a reversal/takedown, but I suppose as a last resort your health is more important! HUGS!

Hi Jamie, Thanks again for the samples, you are too sweet! I mean it make sense, no? Take out the part that seems to be malfunctioning when every other attempt has been made to "make it work" properly. What a nightmare though. I have a feeling after this one I will be FINALLY able to move on. *sigh* I really dont think a reversal is my answer and yes of course, that is the last resort. Take care!

As always Tavia you are in my prayers! Hey if they reverse everything to make you better you mightdo well witha lap band? Just a thought! God bless you and your family!!!!!!!!!!! Kenny

Kenny, I dont think reversing anything on me is my answer. Recontructing is another story. Trust me I have learned my lesson. If I ever come on here in the future, when I get better, and type how I ate crap please shoot me. Thanks!

OK my gun is loaded! " COMON PUNK MAKE MY DAY" HAHA Love that line! Later! KB

Hi Tavia, Hope your baby is feeling better. I'm sure it's not fun. First of all, congrats on gaining that 1.5 lbs. Every little bit helps. Second, hopefully after you have this surgery (whichever one you all decide on) everything will begin to get back to normal. I will keep you in my prayers. I don't post too much (more of a lurker) but I have kept up with your story a bit and have kept you in my thoughts and wish you well. I am always so inspired by your positive outlook. Because of that attictude, I just know you will recover 100%.

Hi Tavia, My name is Maryellen and I live on Long Island. I am in the process of obtaining WLS. If all goes well with the insurance approval and I finish all the required doctor visits, I will have surgery on or around 7/31. The reason I am writing to you is because I've been reading the posts the last few weeks. May people have been very concerned for your recovery. I never knew exactly what went wrong. Did you become malnurished due to lack of vitamins? Can you not keep anything down? I'm very concerned because although I have no problem whatsoever eating food, I do not like swallowing pills. (I NEVER TOOK VITAMINS, not even when I was pregnant.) I've been told how imperitive it is after WLS, but have yet to purchase the chewables. I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm truly conerned and for those of us that are somewhat new to this message board I'm sure is as curious as I am as to how you got to this possible reversal stage. If you do get the surgery, I wish you the best of luck. Sincerely, Maryellen
