  1. you should check the resleeved post. If you think the sleeve will not strech then let me know how it is going in a few years.
  2. My pet peve is people that think they are so smart they have to correct grammer get a life!!!!!
  3. The sleeve can be streched and anyone that tells you it can not needs to go back to the surgen for training but air from a staw should not do the streching. The streching will come from constant force from too much solid food.
  4. I am 5 weeks out and according to weight watchers i will starve to death before long.
  5. If the one hour was true how do they make ready to drink protein shakes. I use powder and mix full serving in 4 oz of water to make sure i get all I need in one day.
  6. you can always think about cobra keep first insu. by paying out of pocket. I think you have 6 months.
  7. The pressure does not set how bad the need for a cpap is mine is 13 my dad is 7 and my ox only droped to the low 80 my dads droped to 68 the pressure only shows how much air it take to clear the airway not how bad it is closing. Did the doctor clear you for ocassional use when it perscribed?
  8. I am 4 weeks out And a week ago i took one bite of a tortilla and it felt like I swallowed a rock that was the end of that.
  9. At some point point in the process(like 4 weeks out) what bothers me is envy that I can not do that anymore with any food(still on soft food). But also think how you would have reacted in days gone by if someone asked you if you were going to eat that crap or that much.
  10. Are we talking weight or mass you want a lbf or just lb. You really need to get a life everyone else knows what is implied by the statement that muscle weighs more than fat. But to make it correct we need to call it lbf/volumn^3.
  11. So how much of the exp. did you eat?
  12. In the shower and look down and see two mammals
  13. I like how you gals blame the hormones, face it you are perves and all it took was some self confidence and energy. we all just want some fun and its time you admit it.
  14. What helped me pre-op was starting to take control of the eating start finding a protien drink you like and try to replace one meal a day. Start to log your food and just look at what you are doing and start to look at where you need to be after the surgery. When I did these things it gave me alot to think about and less to worry about after the surgery. Set your goal and dig in and before you know it you will be here too so good luck keep your head up.
  15. Shakes pre-op sure made the post-op transition smooth already had found shakes I like and felt good going in to surgery not starved. I did 19 days of two meals replaced with shake and one good meal and lost 20 lbs.
  16. I always blamed the ins. for slow paperwork but going through this has shown me it is more Dr. fault and not ins. My Dr. waited a week to send in report and ins. had approval the morning afer receiving it. The Dr. made all of the preop appt. for me but forgot to make one with his office so I had to wait two weeks to see him after the others were done. The one thing that I did that the ins people liked is I made all app mail a copy of reports to the ins as well as DR.
  17. My concern is that both times my wife lost weight and made goal she got knocked up and I just hope that that does not happen to me.
  18. Wife gets headaches but has not botherd me yet.
  19. I would go for it you might create a cool peice of abstract art(good story to tell). When do go make sure it is a good artist and the shop is well known and clean(one of my six was done by artist named Rusty Savage).
  20. Please help and get spell check I am an Engineer and can't spell worth a damn. I have been doing spelling tests with my 8 year old and she even makes me look bad.
  21. Maybe a convertiable for a midlife crisis.
  22. I have had several and never cared I think you should quit thinking about it and think about getting healthy.
  23. I have been at Sturgis 31 years I have to miss this year so I can have vsg the week after. I know you will have fun and next year will be more fun for me.
  24. I am in day 3 of 14 of pre-op and I do not know about you but I can hear a pop can being opened from a half mile.
  25. Well maybe they loose the weight before they lose the weight you never know for sure.
