    Headed Back To Work

    Best of luck to you. I wanted to go back to work after one week, I felt that good but the doc made me take three weeks.

    WTH? That makes no sense whatsoever. I hate insurance companies so much.

    Question?!?!?

    Had both, removed the next am, released at 12...didnt leave till 5...waiting for paperwork! Neither one was a big deal to me. Drain felt a little weird when he took it out but it was so fast...catheter was uncomfortable, not painful, even when removing.

    Post Surgery Infection

    Have Been On 3 Weeks Stall =(

    Yes, I am 5 months out too and yes, stalls are common for me now. I am working out too and stalling for 1-2 weeks then lose 3-5 lbs, stalling again and losing again...weird cycle but at least I am still losing.

    Nervous

    Sure, everyone has those thoughts, completely natural. I was super nervous too but when I got back to my room after surgery I was kinda laughing to myself " I was so nervous for nothing" Other than feeling a bit sick from the anesthesia, I felt pretty good. You will be fine! Just think of the wonderful future you will have, being healthy and able to do all the things you couldnt before. I feel like a completely new person...and it is awesome! Best of luck to you!

    Coworkers Want To Know What Your Highest Wt Was!

    I have no problem telling anyone who will listen what I weighed, how much I have lost or what my goal is. I hope my being open will help others make the decision to help themselves improve their health and well being.

    My First Full Week On The Sleeve...

    I am so glad to hear you are doing well. I am impressed with your positive attitude, keep that up and you will be that healthy man you want to be in no time. Welcome to the losers bench Patrick!

    My Insurance Will Only Cover A Dr 126 Miles Away.

    Is that for just the surgery? Maybe you can go to a closer doc for the follow up visits? Maybe your primary care doc can do them, I dont see why not, it isnt rocket science to weigh someone and ask what they eat etc. I would call the insurance and ask for sure. Best of luck to you!

    Hot Dog Question

    I have hot dogs quite often, no bun tho. I have kraut too, jalapenos, whatever I like on it. I have no desire for bread at all so its no big deal with no bun for me.
  24. I was told no exercise but walking till my 2 week appt so be careful. Walking on the treadmill should be fine but dont over do it!
