  1. 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.
  2. Put in tminus and t minus and no results?
  3. Sleeverella is the plan when I am sleeved. Transforming from the girl hidden in the attic made to feel like an ugly mess to a beautiful princess ( already married my prince charming, did it out of order, sue me, LOL!!!)
  4. 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.
  5. Thanks everyone for all the kind and thoughtful responses from the heart. I am better now. Got through my daughters morningmelt down. dH cooked his wonderful weekend Breakfast, one of my last for a while. My bff is here for the weekend giving wonderful support.breathe in breathe out. With the love of my family and support of my friends here and on line, I will get through this...one day at a time. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. God BlessUs All
  6. 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.
  7. Ouch! Can you even take colchicine post sleeve? I'm certain Indocin is out of the question. Keep forcing fluids to wash those chrystals out!
  8. I do not wear my weight well, at all
  9. 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.
  10. Good you went to the doc first. Maybe nerve pain?
  11. Obvious. I am of american indian descent. And a registered nurse
  12. Pzi jeans, meant for girls with round booties slim legs, low cut and butt lifting rear. Get them on line. I have 4 pairs waiting for me in 18, 16, and 14 size to start
  13. Coughing is good!! Clear your lungs and drink plenty of fluids. Congratulations!
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. Lucky to have a federal job that offers pretty good insurance. Still I have paid100+ dollars a month for 8 years' date=' it's time for cashing in.lol
  17. 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.
  18. Sending healing reiki energy your way. Keep positive!
