Couldn't agree more with all this... I wear layers & the only thing that helps me is a hot bath, as well. And I mean as hot as it will go. Not warm. H. O. T. My port hurts too. I'm so glad I'm not alone in this.

I love Cuddle Duds!!!

Me too! Primarily my feet.... But it's miserable. I'm about 50 overweight too though. Boo. Glad I'm not alone with the staying cold!

The weather? Yes. My body? YES. Have many of you stay cold after surgery? I don't mean chilly. I stay so cold... Bone chilling cold. Normal or not?

Wow! Great job!!

Well, I'll look over your temporary lapse in judgement... LOL! Always a good football rivalry. Nothing more fun than that game! Thanks so much!

Good luck to both of you!! Pre-op is hard (mentally) and post-op is relatively smooth (minus the gas pain.) I wish you both well on your journey & look forward to seeing updates! Relax & get excited! Your life is about to change!

It really is the little things that make you so, so happy!! I'm happy for you! Congratulations! That's awesome!

Absolutely! I didn't know how bad I felt until I felt better!! ???? Thank you!!!

Y'all!! Shut. The. Front. Door. Some mornings, when I see myself in the mirror, I almost can't believe it! This has been the best decision of my life!! ????

Thanks so much!! It's been a long journey but worth it!!

Thank you! I do this too.... I think I was just sketching myself out! Thanks everyone for your feedback!

The simple fact is that it's for YOU. When I decided to tell my family, I already had my mind made up. That including telling my husband. I remember when I told him, he said "I don't think you need to do that." I replied with "I don't think you understand. I've already made up my mind. This is what I have to do for me. You can support me or not, but it's going to happen either way so I would appreciate it if you could be in the game with me." He was fine. And 130 pounds later, I want y'all to know that I haven't heard the man complain a single time about how I look these days! Hang tough! You know what is best for you. Don't let anyone steal your thunder. PS: Two years out & I'll guarantee you, this is no "easy way out". It will test you, physically & mentally, but you'll be better for it! I'm proud of you! Message me if you'd like to talk further.

Hello all! I was banded in August of 2013. Two weeks ago, I realized I was able to eat a bit more than normal but still not too much. In hindsight, I realize my band was likely too tight before and I didn't realize it. I did have several episodes of food coming back up. I feel different now but great. The problem is, nothing changed... No adjustments. I was just able to eat more one day. Any idea what may have happened? Unfamiliar with signs of band slippage but also unsure if that's a possibility because the amount of food I can tolerate is still limited. (approximately one cup.) Has anyone else ever experienced anything of the like? My surgeon is 3.5 hours away & when contacted via phone, they seemed unconcerned... Suggestions, advice and similar stories welcome!!
