Anyone want to meet in the chat room?
I was nauseous all week long and was beginning to think it was sleeve related My friend has been that way ever since she had surgery, a week after me. It seems to be gone now though, thank goodness.

Introduction
Well no matter what your name is or what it means, we are glad you're here!

Do we always have to talk about the sleeve?
Oh and I forgot to mention that bf and I had that talk. I talked about it in another thread. All this time, he's been mad about something I said on face book. I can't even believe it. It's just like high school again. The part that bothers me the most is he knows me very well. He should know better than when I said what I said on there, I was not talking about anything that had to do with him or his family, the way he thinks. Everyone keeps telling me to kick him to the curb, but it's hard when we USED to be so happy.

VSG date August 11

VGS date August 18
okay, I will chime in here since I am very worried about my hair as well. I lost half my hair when I had lap band surgery. I can't afford to lose anymore. I have been using all the nioxsin products and it seems like it has slowed down. Plus Dr. Aceves told me to increase my zinc and I am doing that. He said hair loss has to do with low zinc levels. As for recovery from surgery, I have had dental work done that was way more painful than this. I went back to work right away. I was totally bored in the hospital for 3 days. The sleeve surgery itself is the easiest part of all of this. The liquid diet was not fun. It's not that hard, it just gets boring.

Post Op Weight Loss
That's a really good question. I never knew there was a scale that would show anything besides how many lbs you weigh.

Calling Vegasangel....
I am one that hides from the sun. I have been sunburned too many times and have finally learned my lesson. Hey I wonder if we can sneak into one of the hotels and lay by their pool, or does bearded and Vegas have their own pool? Never even considered bringing a swim suit.

Do we always have to talk about the sleeve?
Well I wish they would put their differences aside and go back to sharing their knowledge and wisdom with us. Plus, Elisabeth is newly sleeved, and I am sure now and then she must have something she wants so talk about too.

Calling Vegasangel....
I can't wait til you get home from work. I sent you a pm too. I booked my flight. I hope you're really okay with this. I really can't wait. It's been years since I have been anywhere besides Arizona. I really hope you and Bearded were not just kidding about letting a perfect stranger stay with you. You're going to have to clue me in on what to bring as far as clothes go, etc. I am not sure what we will be doing.

VSG vs LapBand
He has mentioned that everywhere he reads, the band either has to be replaced or revised to a different surgery. I think I have read where he said, when the time comes, he will get a revision to a sleeve surgery.

Advice needed
Well I hope VegasAngel was serious about wanting some company, cause I just bought a plane ticket. I am very excited. It's been years since I have been to vegas.
-
How painful did you find VSG to be?
on a scale of 1-5 I would say a 1. I have a very low pain tolerance. There was just no pain.
-
Advice needed
Relationships are hard. The thing that bothers me the most is that I thought he knew me better than that. He should know I would not say anything mean about his son or daughter in law because I know how much they mean to him.

Advice needed
oh good. tomorrow when I am not so depressed, I am going to find some cheap airfare one way or another I'd rather fly on thurs. and leave sun. I have to drive 100 mi to the airport, so it won't be all that early when I get there
-
Advice needed

What do you want to do that you couldn't do before the sleeve?
Congratulations Suzanne. I am way thinner than I have been in years and I still feel like cr@p.

Anyone want to meet in the chat room?
I really need to talk to someone. I am pretty down at the moment. I will leave the chat window open in case anyone is able to come in for awhile. I need my sleeve sisters.
-
Advice needed
I am really depressed at the moment. Could use some words of wisdom. Bill and I talked after work and he is very upset because he thinks I said something mean about his daughter in law on face book, which I didn't . He knows me better than that. He should know I would not do something mean like that on purpose. He wants to "take a break" until he gets to Phoenix next month to talk things over with his daughter in law and son. I didn't do a damn thing but they are poisoning his mind.

Anyone want to meet in the chat room?
The chat room will be open tonight for anyone that is interested. I had a great time chatting last night until the server went down and we were cut off in the middle of our conversation.

Do we always have to talk about the sleeve?
Hey now I am changing the subject. I wish Elisabeth and WasA would come back. I miss their knowledge and wisdom.
-
What do you want to do that you couldn't do before the sleeve?
I want my boobs back. I didn't have much to begin with, but managed to lose whatever I did have. Can't we pick where we want it to come off?
-
Do we always have to talk about the sleeve?
There doesn't seem to be many fish in the sea around here. Especially since I am such a home body. I am planning on talking to him about all of this again after work today.

Compulsive Worrier
You're supposed to be taking an acid reducer every day. I am not sure about the other pain though. I hope you feel better soon. If not, maybe you should give the doctor a call.
