    Furnace has went out again. The chickens are probably warmer than I am. It's freezing inside this stupid house.

      If you do a search on this site, I'm sure you will discover far and away they are the preferred brand.

    It's weird. Other sleeve patients don't seem to want to hear the I've had it as easy as I had it. No vomiting, minimum nausea, able to do self-care: clothe myself, I get off the pot myself, in and out of the shower myself, make my own meals myself. It's almost like it's a badge of honor to have had some sort of complication or malaise after surgery. No wonder the nurses made the comment like they did. No wonder they were so impressed and so surprised I was getting out of bed and walking without prodding and prompting. Smh

      There are many threads here with similar sentiments. Many folk who have an uneventful recovery do not create threads stating such, but there are some out there. Perhaps you can start one?

      Oy, hate to be CBF ... 4 days here. Most Drs say when ever you are up to it, just stay off the trapeze.

    has anyone had a hietal hernia repaired during gastric sleeve surgery if so how did it go

    1. PdxMan

      PdxMan

      I didn't even know I had one. I was told after he repaired it and wasn't going to charge me anything for it as it is quite common. He was correct telling me that swallowing would be a little difficult for awhile, but after about 18 days, I was all good.

    Okay I have posted the first pic of myself. I will no longer be ashamed of my looks

      Congrats on joining the club. You are safe here. It is hard posting the "before" pics and doing so says a lot about your resolve. Posting your one year pic won't come soon enough! As you said, you no longer have to be ashamed of your looks. BTW, I'm 47, too. Good luck!
