To all less-endowed gals I'd advise:
It's no use to obsess about size.
Yes, your A-cups can please.
You don't need double-Ds!
Lord above, you're as bad as us guys!

Just tell them you're having a sex change operation.

That usually shuts them up!

Topic: RE: Can you help a new VSG having problems?

This is not dumping, it's reactive hypoglycemia!

She needs to go to high protein foods, and reduce the carbs and sugars in her diet.

I've had some occurrences of reactive hypoglycemia, and it's no fun.  All I wanted to do was curl up and die.  Since I'm retired, I would lay down, and the episode would pass within an hour or two.

Give her a hug, and tell her that eating anything high in carbs or sugar will trigger this condition.

HTH, Fred

Topic: RE: Completely OT: Eye Exam Today had Finding with Dialation test

The macular pucker surgery involves the removal of scar tissue from the macula (the central vision portion of the retina).  If I were you  I'd wait and discuss the situation with your opthamologist.  Just relax until you get more info from your doctor.

Good luck,

Fred

Topic: RE: Completely OT: Eye Exam Today had Finding with Dialation test

Yeah, I had cataract removal surgery earlier this year for both eyes, then had macular pucker surgery two weeks ago on my left eye.

You can google 'macular pucker" or "retinal wrinkle" to see what I had done.

It only took 12 to 15 minutes per eye for th cataract surgery, and a little over 45 minutes for the macular pucker.

HTH,

Fred

Topic: RE: Day 6 Post Op--GROUCHY

Post-op weight loss releases hormones previously stored in fat cells.  The release of these hormones can, and will, cause mood swings.

It is similar to PMS mood swings, and is caused by hormone changes.

Many folks have posted about this result of rapid weight loss.  It will pass!

Good luck, and hugs,

Fred

I used one for a while post-op, and recommend it highly!

It's great for the ride home after surgery, and for getting out of bed without causing pain.
