  1. I'm glad to hear you are doing so well. Thank you for the advice. I'm hoping for mine in September.
  2. I don't know what kind of enema you've tried, but a warm, soapy enema sometimes works where a fleet enema does not. Good luck!
  3. I'm not telling my mother either, until the deed is done. I know I'll hear all the ways I could lose without WLS. But if that were true, I would have already been thin these last ten years! I will likely tell her after the fact though, since I somehow always end up telling my mother everything.
  4. I'm Sara, I'm 36 and have four children : 2 boys, 2 girls ages 18, 15, 13, & 10. I haven't told my kids at all, and I don't think I will because they're such blabber mouths. I don't need the world to know I've had WLS. At first I wanted to lose weight for my vanity. Now I need to lose weight for my health. Id be so happy to have "normal" knees! Looking forward to getting to know you all.
  5. Interesting side effect. I had a uterine ablation two years ago so I wonder what will happen for me. I still get a period but it's usually extremely light and only lasts two or three days. I hope this doesn't send me back into the hell of having a heavy period.
  6. Just read at least two different people who experienced large losses of hair post surgery. Is that common? Any way to keep it from happening?
