HoneyBee .... Hang in there....it gets better every day....sometimes every hour... Healing hugs sent your way!

Shortypants...not that i can say i was running around here (i am in a wheelchair until i loose more weight due to back and knee issues) but with that said: Yesterday i could hardly get out of bed... Previous days, would walk the length of the house and back no problem...was pretty proud of myself...yesterday i could barely walk the length of the living room...it felt like i had cement shoes on....(that was the long story...lol) ... short story : yes.. Hope today is better for you...

Jimmy - good to hear you are on the mend....follow doctors orders and it won't be long before you are out of there... Take care my friend !

don't we all.... (((hugs)))

It takes awhile to get all things organized.. Protein .. Water .. Walking .. Vitamins .. it's exhausting mentally for awhile..but soon it all falls into place... Like the old saying : just take it a day at a time! (((healing hugs)))

kat1....you will do great...reading your post, you are obviously a confidant,organized and strong person .... remember we are here for you, supporting you and sending our prayers....

Mrsnate ..... How are you feeling today? hope home and feeling so good!

Kristy ... How's dad doing today! still sending prayers!

Sdb ..... Good luck Thursday! keep us informed!! healing hugs sent your way!!!

51 lbs fantastic !!!! you are a great inspiration....keep us updated on surgery and recovery.... Healing hugs sent your way....

I should have said "another" topic....i don't mean we can't continue talking about all our other ones.... My bad!

spartysmu ... Thank you, i will try to be patient ....

New topic for us over 50's.....or anyone!!!! I have heard that after the sleeve, people tend to be cold(er) all the time.......Question: how long after surgery does this happen? ....... i am always hot - hate to be in the sun - just adds that much more heat. When i sleep i have to have a fan blowing on me and only use a sheet (if even that)....i am 2 weeks post-op today and it still has not happened... Does it depend on the weight loss? just needing a little info.... Thanks

Cmeless - take care and get well wishes sent your way!

So glad the IV and antibiotics are helping.. Take care and healing (((hugs))) sent your way!

Sending prayers !!!! you hang in there too. He will be ok. You get some rest so you can walk with him to get the gas out...don't forget to take care of YOU ....

Jimmy......SO good to hear from you..... You had us so worried .... Sorry still in hospital but best place for you to be when the doctors are not for sure what's wrong....as stated above, you can get another job, but we can't get another Jimmy.... Keep us updated man...we all care! Prayers and healing (((hugs))) sent your way!

It seems strange and weird to me....I hope if jimmy is out there.....he is doing well and feeling better....if this has been someone's idea of a joke, i am not laughing ....

Newfoundlove .... Good to hear you're doing so great.... Very positive post.... I am north of Seattle so am aware of the great weather... Keep up the good work...

I loved that phone call... And like you lots of emotions surfaced .... I am 2 weeks post-op tomorrow.... Congrats and good luck !

I am also in WA but i had a great doctor...didn't sugar coat anything but didn't hold back either.... I guess the point i want to make is: if you did not feel like the doctor was "speaking with your best interest in mind". Find another doctor! ... There are more doctors in WA... Good ones, who will praise you for taking the first step to a healthier you... Good luck and let me know if there is anything i may do to help..

Way to stay with it, Dad!!! i know you have to be so proud...prayers and healing (((hugs))) sent his way...
