Cosmeticredit Warning!
This is one of the companies that Dr. Aceves office recommends. I applied online with them. Gave them ALL of my financial and private information. This was over three weeks ago. They have not responded to my emails or answered their phones. I am pissed off to say the least. DO NOT apply with them and expect anything except for frustration. I am so mad that they have all of this information on me. I told Nina at Dr. Aceves office and they kind of blew it off. Don't get me wrong, I do love their CS thus far at Dr. Aceves office but I do think they need to be mroe aware of the crappy company that they are recommending to their patients.

Weaning Off Anti-Depressants?
Anyone ever wean off anti-depressants? I have been on them for about 4-5 years now and would love to stop taking them eventually. I don't know why. I guess I just want to try and make myself feel better without medicine. I have tried a few times but then I slowly feel the anxiety and "snappiness" of my attitude come back after about a week. Then I start back again. I am hoping about a year after surgery I can try and successfully get off the meds. I wanted to try and do it before surgery but I read a lot about how learning to eat again can be a very emotional event so I don't even want to mess with that situation. lol Anyhow, if any of you have ever done this i would love to hear from you. Please share anything, the good and the bad. Thank you.

Do Not Get The Plication
With the plication do they just leave the extra stomach part there without cutting it out? Why would that not work compared to the sleeve?

Sex... After Vsg
All of these posts are making me feel positive about my future. At this point in my life I dread sex. I hate it because of how I look and feel. My boyfriend has a rockin' buff bod and loves my body the way it is but I just feel awful when he sees me naked. I can't wait to be where you are at and feel sexy again.

Stomach Flu Preparing Me For Post-Op
I am on day three of the stomach flu. I have been on only liquids for three days and have lost four lbs. I was thinking today that this is exactly what I am going to be doing (by choice) come May 11. It is crazy how the flu can wipe out our hunger signals. I hate being sick but I thought this was a nice little pre-cursor of what is to come.

Medications Immediately After Surgery?
Just realized that I need to find out how to take meds immediately following surgery??? I take fluoxetine capsules. If we are on clear liquids for days after surgery how do we take our meds? Crush them up in the clear liquid?

Omf I am so sorry this happened to you. I'm even happier to here that you are getting healthier. May I ask where you had your surgery performed? Did they perform leak tests before discharging you?
