I just want to say Im truly sorry.....for the loss of your dear Grandmother, and with time it lessons the pain, leaving you with only wonderful memories of your dearly departed. My apologies for anything I may have said in haste. Sincerely, Sandy

Ouch! You take really good care of yourself you hear!!!! A lot of the worst kinds of problems with this stuff STARTS with an infection. Im not trying to scare you. Just THIS EVENING my Husband and I had an indepth conversation about that VERY THING. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL 911 or your Physician, sooner rather than later. I wouldnt be in an all fired hurry to get it back in either, until I KNOW Im out of the red zone.Please be smart, and heal good! Good luck and I will say a prayer! WITH COMPLETE SINCERITY, Sandy

stamp, Ill bet you are getting the heebeejeebies! I am, and I only have an appt with my Surgeon (meeting for the first time) tomorrow. Wishing you great luck doll and a fast recovery! Sandy

A New Dawn 2012, you have hbic40 and I mixed up. No harm done! Sandy

lol!

WoW! AgAin! I thank you, as this post has really made me open my eyes and look at this more seriously. Like you said rainbows and unicorns! NO MORE! Just in time too, as my initial Surgeon appt is tomorrow. Im to meet him for the first time. Maybe the sleeve is a better choice for me too. As Im not very focused, and have even been diagnosed with adult attention deficit disorder. I really really dont want to be in a position where Im saying oops, I forgot not to take a big gulp to help me stop choking! OMLORD! Thanks, lots! From The whole forum! Be well , please!Sandy

WOW! So, besides getting the sleeve instead, if you had it all to do over again. What would you do differently, and what all did you do wrong, starting with the first and ending with the last. If you dont mind humoring me. Thanks a lot n Im very glad that you are here to talk with us and that things turned out reasonably alright! SINCERLY, Sandy

Thanks for that Maddie. I birthed him, and he was a BIG one. Still is! OLO!

OHHHH, ooops! Sorry! Me either, but if its gonna be a 3 inch incision, Im lookin for a new doctor!

Stamp, was your pain really that bad, with a few incisions? Honest Injun?

Im hoping i can lose some weight and cut some meds. with exercise. fibro is weird. stress and depression actually aggravtes the pain and makes it grow till unbearable.so, with exercise and decrease depression, also anxiety stress, THEEEEEN pain is less. Ive done it before and it worked good, then i got sick, gained weight, etc.

I normally take oxycontin for fibro, and oxycodone for break thru. pain. Im just gonna have to chew on a leather strap or something!

Three INCHES!OMG!

Hi Mandy!, used to have a gf growing up named Mandy.Welcome. Ive been lurking till recently, when I decided to join some conversations. I dont have a surgery date yet. I dont even see the surgeon till tomorrow. Im nervous. I quit smokin for this, and Ive been cheating a bit. AHHHHHHH! The nerves! Welcome again, it really IS ABOUT YOU! You will do great. Kinda young for such a drastic procedure might I add. I had no problem losing weight at your age. I hit menopause, and it all paused. cept weight . IT GAINED AND WONT STOP! AHHH! AGIN!!! Sandy
