Haven't had a sniffle since 12/5. Highly unusual for me. Other problems galore...but no flu or cold or anything like that.

I'm 8 months out and the other nite something got caught in my umbilical hernia and I ended up vomitng bile. Doc said see surgeon and surgeon said get operation asap because something ccan get stuck in hernia and strangulate. I'm terrified. Read that umb mesh repair is most painful for the longest time. You can't stand up. Burning pains etc etc. This is going to be more painful and less easy to recoup from that vsg and gall bladder How will I manage to eat? How will I manage pain med (oxycondon...allergic) How do u poop if you can't stress abdominal area? Already am constipated/diarrhea rotation from vsg Should I insist on old fashioned repair or accept mesh? HELP Sent from my SGH-T839 using VST

Its not yet approved.

Thanks capt, but I did have the pulse ox overnite test a few pounds ago and I still needed it then. As of thurs, I've lost 100#. I'm still @ 95# shy of a normal bmi...so its ok for now. I know many are released from this after losing but I have pulmonary hypertension, as well. I will see what to do when I lose another 20. My thyroid med is down somewhat and I no longer need diuretics or asthma meds. Those happened almost immediately. This is taking longer. I got time

I'm a coward...I wonder if I'll end up drooling like an idiot and totally unable to contol myself after eating one of these. At least that's what the surgeon would have me believe. I do want to try it...but WHAT IF i really lose control after 7 mos??? Where do u get the wrappers anyhow?

If u have it, they will tell u how many times per nite you stop breathing or your blood oxygen falls below a certain number. Then, if you use the machine, it can prevent stroke. If you don't, you gamble. I learned to wear mine because I don't need a stroke. If you bhave it, your insurance will cover the machine. You will have a million other tests and hoops to jump thru b4 surgery...this ain't so terrible...just ask them to use the odor free glue

I was told not to bring anything. Friend who drove me took my purse home with her. U don't need anything at all...not even your toothbrush but I brought my electric with me anyway. Kept it in drawer. Had my nook and sidekick plugged into the wall. Keep everything in your clothing bag until u can use ur electronics after u wake up and orient yourself. Other than that, u don't need a thing.

Aren't wonton wrappers made from wheat flour and as a total carb, forbidden?

Thanks for this post...I ve been taking ibuprofen for inflamation when I needed it...but in moderation. You've given me food for thought

Have u asked a naturopathic doc? Maybe arnica or traumeel...I used that after I fell splat on my knee on concrete and it swelled up like a balloon...ok a lemon...but still...and it helped somewhat...but not with the pain. Nothing helped the pain. I'm sorry you're having this pblm now. Hope it eases quickly

Oh I am not complaining that the weight is coming off. I have to lose 95# more to get to a normal bmi range. That's a huge step from 428# where I was years before vgs was a possibility. I do like the loss and I do welcome more of it. Am @ 25# from Onederland...where's that d*^#@*m rabbit hole? :-)

That's GOOD. And you're maintaining your weight? Can you honeslty eat everything? Do you eat fruits?

What?????
