Very complex, but I wouldn't be able to live without having my 4 year old in my life. I say get custody, and let your new wife be your support in changing his life. God bless.

Topic: ??? about first 5 days and what is typical?
Today was my fourth day after surgery and I really felt good.  went shopping etc... Is this typical?

I really feel close to myself, with the exception of not moving my bowels?  Does anyone have an idea how long that is?

2)  can you stretch your sleeve too much in the beginning.  Today it was so much easier to drink the fluids and not have that lump in my throat?

3)  do you think going back to work after 4 days is too soon?

4) today was sunday dinner, typical italian pasta night, with meatballs, sausage, pasta, salad.  I have to admit I did feel a litte want for food in my mouth, but I was not hungry.  I hope I can do this, does i get easier once you start eating real food again?

Topic: RE: Do you take Plaquenil?
I've taken Plaquenil since 1996. I have OA, but it gave me more mobility. I get my annual eye checks and have no side effects that I know about.

P.S.  My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
