What Did You Name Your Sleeve?
Holy geez. I never thought about naming my sleeve before I read this thread. I thought it was funny and thought on it for a little minute and came up with sleevarella. Smh, just a little fun.

So Sad I Cannot Breathe
OMG, I am so sorry for you. sounds like your daughter had an emotional break. She needs to be evaluated immediately. I think all the advice above is right on target. Call the police, have her evaluated in the ER and go from there. As the mom of a 10 year old with serious mental heath problems, my heart goes out to you. God bless.

Crying
Today I woke up crying. So many things weighing on my mind. This week coming, my insurance will be submitted and hopefully approved. My excitement and inpatience has turned into fear and doubt. What if I get any of the horrible complications i read about. What if i get all of them. What if I die. I have 9 kids and a grand baby. I have 4 still at home that depend on me. They are all adopted and need special care. My 10 year old has significNt emotional issues that requires constant supervision. I adore my DH , but he wont be a le to carry this load. Last might my son, who is visiting from abroad and staying at my mom's house, called me last night. Seems she has had signs of a heart attach since Thursday and refuses to go to the hospital. I cant convince her just to have an ekg, just to be on the safe side. Mind you, my mom can be hystrionic and attention seeking, but this is beyond ignoring. So here i sit, on my bed, DH sound asleep at my side, crying my eyes out. Should I ditch the whole thing and focus on my family. What will happen if I dont make it.

Last Nut Visit In 5 Days
Days until my paperwork is submitted to insurance. I meet the criteria, I just hope they don't yank my chain. Not soon enough. Today I had some pictures taken with my bff and DH in Indian headderesses. i asked to do close up, but regardless, my arms have cellulite, double chins my DH wanted to post on FB and I started crying. I am so disgusted with myself.

Coughing is good!! Clear your lungs and drink plenty of fluids. Congratulations!- October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves
I get the sense, sometimes, the scary stories of complications seem inconsistent. Maybe it's because I am looking at it in a medical perspective, but some stories floating around just don't make sense. ( No SPECIFiC STORY, SO PLEASE DON'T FLAM ME) In any event, I am worried about the surgery, and it's complications. i am one of those patients you need to dose pre-op to keep me from running away. I have had a few surgeries, abdominal, orthopedic and plastics. Never had a complication and am praying for the same this time- How Long Were You Out Of Work?
I am an RN,but i drive mostly, doing home visits. Nothing really physical. i plan to take off 2 weeks. Plenty of folks have returned in this time frame without complications. Hopefully this is the case for me. i have done liquid diets (medically supervised) for 6 weeks while working in the past and hopefully my 2 week liquid diet pre-op will prepare me for the change.- October Sleevers!

- Ok I Hear All Kinds Of Stuff About Constipation But What About The Opposite?
shakes high in sucralose or sugar acids can cause terrible gas and diarrhea. I know Atkins does that to me, the bars and shakes. Everyone is different, but this may be a culprit.- Complications After Surgery.
