MS and WLS - Why I did it. - I haven't seen many people in OH (or anywhere else) that have undergone Weight Loss Surgery when they are already suffering from chronic Multiple Sclerosis. I have seen a couple of...

Pain and discomfort continues - I thought by now, 3 weeks post-op, and since the tube and stitches were removed, I'd be bouncing back (well, not exactly "bouncing" but you get the idea) to pre-op levels. Don't yo...

I'm an emotional mess - Perhaps I'm more irritable lately. OK, I AM more irritable lately. And how can I NOT be? The area around my drainage tube hurts like the dickens, I get moments where hunger is over...

What the hell did I do to myself? - This is the stage I'm in now, I'm afraid. They did let me go from the hospital yesterday and I'm home now with a pack of directions to follow and various meds I'm supposed to be ta...

Two Days to Surgery - Two days until surgery and I'm getting nervous. It doen't help that hubby keeps telling me to bail out and not go through with it. Thank goodness I have a wide strubborn streak in ...

Am I Paranoid or What? - Maybe I'm just paranoid. Still from the moment my surgery date became finalized, I feel as if the entire universe is out to get me! Yesterday we received a nice tax bill for 8,000 ...

My new RE-Birthday! - JANUARY 26 2010! This is the day I become re-born. Yep, you guessed it, it's the date of my WLS, which in my case, is the Gastric Sleeve. I selected the VSG because it seemed th...

Some Pre-Op Thoughts - I am just starting this journey to places I have never been before, places I never believed I would ever go and I have been in a pensive mood. This blog will not be just a calend...

A little about me... - My name is Amalia, I am a 53 y.o. female Greek living in Greece and as of December 18 2009 I'm 1 or 2 months away from Gastric Sleeve surgery. I have two major health problems. ...
