  3. I was just wondering, If a leak were going to happen, when is it most likely to be? My nurse said that if there was a leak or bleed it usually in the first 72 hrs...Anyone have any input???
  4. TaMZ!,,, Are you and I twins????? I just had my sleeve Friday and I'm driving myself CRAZY!!!!!!! I just wait for your post to get the answers I need!!!!! You keep them coming, Girl!!!! When I say the SAME thoughts, I mean the SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. I will be using Dr Avara for my surgery on Friday!!!!
  6. My question is about the body's anatomy(sp). I quess the one thing keeping me on the concerned side is I'm not sure about how having such a small stomach is good for anyone. I know that the sleeve works and I see wonderful results, however, I ask myself "Am I going to regret doing this when I'm 65, 75 years old?" Like, am i going to have problems down the road with having a small stomach? Will it ever go back to feeling normal? Will I always be reminded that I had surgery when I was 35. Does your body feel the same ever again???? I know, what about the issues that can come from being over weight and all that needs to be thought about. I'm just thinking and typing and would like to know about these things. Haaaaaa!!!!
  7. I sent you a private message! I am so glad to hear from you! I thought about you today! Let me know all the juicy details!
  8. You better!!! I must know how you are doing!!! Haaaaa!!
  9. I'm getting sleeved with Dr Avara June 14th! I actually went to a support group put on by SMSurgeons tonight! Crazy!! I agree! The staff there is so sweet and caring. I think that I made a good choice by going with them. I know you will do great! I can't wait to here from you and how you are doing! Are you from the coast area? I'm from Hattiesburg. Well, good luck and please, please let me know how you are doing!
  10. Thanks for the replys! I still worry everyday if I'm doing the right thing. Thank You!
  11. I start getting freaked out wondering if I'm going to die from this!!!!!!!!!!! I know that's crazy...But All my little worries and question all lead up to the big QUESTION! Will I make it thru and be back to normal??? If I can get a FIRM yes, then ill be fine!! Haaaaaa!!!! BTW: Typing after drinking 3 glasses of wine.... Just sayn... Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
  12. Ok, I have let a new worry enter my every thought! Ha! BLOOD CLOTS. My question is this, When is a person "out of the woods" with them? I know that's why they want you to get up and start moving as soon a possible but at what point is it not a concern anymore? One week later? As long as a month later? Also, is there anyway to know if you may have one or is it one minute your fine and then..... Well, please let me know what you know? Haaaa! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXO
