    Did anyone develop diabetes after surgery? I have a discoloration on my neck friends say its signs of diabetes. I am upset of the possibility. I had the surgery to prevent diabetes. I have to schedule a dr appt.

    Pain! Is This Normal?

    msvickee replied to Lucabelle1313's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Incision pain on or around the incision is normal and it can feel like someone is stabbing you. Your muscle tissue and everything underneath your skin is going through healing. Many of the questions newly sleeved brothers and sisters have are addressed in previous threads. Do a search of you have time. Many of us have already experienced it and wrote about it and got answers on here.

    Acid Reflux/heart Burn Post Op

    msvickee replied to ShrinkyDinkMe22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm in Houston too? Have you had your surgery? acid reflux may also feel like a burning in your throat. You may cough or hack during a spell. I had acupuncture and it subsided for about 3 weeks. I now take Zantac and get a lot of relief. U have found that in the days I exercise I don't experience terrible reflux.

    I am not a parent of special needs children but I have triplet brothers who are special needs dual diagnosis for each one. This is a subject near and dear to me. I am trying to convince my mom to have the surgery. Although my brothers are 42 and have their own place and caregivers, life is still a challenge for my parents. My mom could get around better for them with the weight off.

    Beverage

    msvickee posted a topic in Liquids (stage 1)

    Not a recipe but I thought I would share: Lipton has a diet green tea watermelon flavor that was refreshing and just a bit of variety from water. Zero sugar, zero carbs, zero calories. It tasted really good!

    Grocery Store Melt Down..

    msvickee replied to jhbk2008's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Awwwww group hug for everyone. I actually love going to the grocery store because all of the money I save. I am learning to cook small, small portions because it's just me and my teen daughter. Every now and then I will cook for a family of 5 and will call my God brother to come by and pick up the meal that's so food won't go to waste.

    14 Months Out W/ Pictures

    msvickee replied to Purdy in Pink's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Whoa well don't you look sexy! I can't wait until I can cross my legs...it's been 15 years since I could. You are an inspiration!
  18. msvickee
    My surgeon never referred to any part as a ouch unless I missed something....always the sleeve and even had a replica of a stomach and a sleeved stomach. I can agree that the surgeries are similar and more importantly the surgeries warrant the same results - weight loss.
  19. msvickee
    Interesting! I've noticed done who make comments I know that are directly related to the gastric bypass. Even my bf who had the bypass said "don't blow your pouch". I paused and was like ok she thinks our surgeries were the same. Lol I guess I shouldn't let people go on sounding ignorant and should clue them in huh? Lol

    For the first time since my surgery (June 28) I ate too fast trying to get ready for church and boy it's not a good feeling. Lesson: Get up earlier than normal to start your day so you can take your time to eat and enjoy your breakfast.

    Let's have some fun: 1. I can walk 45 minutes non stop on a treadmill at a 5.0 incline! 2. When I walk outside I'm not afraid to look at my silhouette!
