Susan 2.0

I'm in need of a reply when a friend says to me: "It wasn't God's intention for us to remove 80% of our stomachs. It's too drastic. It's not natural. Diet & exercise - AND STICKING WITH IT - are what you need to do. I've always said that." My reply was: "Breast implants weren't God's intent, but you got those." Her reply: "But they can be removed. You're taking out 80% of your stomach & you can't put it back." Any KINDLY WORDED suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as she is, after all, my BFF, so I am not looking to disregard her feelings. ** NOTE: After several responses, I have edited this post to also say: Everyone's opinion is valid; however, I personally believe in God & pray continually that I am making the right decision & that he is walking beside me, or carrying me, through this. I am requesting KINDLY WORDED responses. If you do not believe in God or that this is not a God issue, then I kindly request that you not reply to this post. Thank you.

If you're still concerned, you can check the seat width for your specific plane type on seatguru.com

I just received a huge supply of free samples when I ordered my GNC Pro Performance & NOW Sports Protein powder from drugstore.com

Oh I soooo know how you feel. And add in that TOM & it's all over. One of my co-workers asked me this morning if I would make a copy of some house plans for him & I asked him if his legs were broken!

Yep & it's going well. Today was Day 4 & I've lost a few pounds. I'm supposed to lose 5% of starting weight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. How about you?

Cool! We're sleeve twins! I'm 10/15, too, in N.C.

Edited to add you in! Welcome :-)

I edited the list to add you in. Welcome!!

minkywinks_esposa: some time back you mentioned you were getting the single incision. Was your doctor able to stick to that plan? How are you feeling?

So glad to hear from you & that you're doing well. Take care of yourself & enjoy the good drugs

I have as well, so I am very excited to see you're finally on the other side!!! Woohoo!

Mine, too!! Love this!!!

Got it now :-)
