  1. Absolutely NOT!! You don't have to deactivate yourself from here.... There are things that can be helpful to sleevers as well.... And we are also great at peptalk!
  2. Man!!! I'm sorry about your car....
  3. LoL. The only alarms you're gonna set off are the: hottie-coming-through alarms. Safe travels!
  4. WoW!!! Kudos to your surgeon for having you come in! No more bagels, OkAy?!!
  5. What a BUMMER!! Lets just hope the port is positioned in a funny way, father than it being flipped. I had a little difficulty finding my port, and the nurse just looked at the X-ray taken after the placement and was able to pinpoint exactly how it was positioned; however, that was AFTER being pushed really hard on the wrong spot.... I have a HUGE, painful black and blue. I'm hoping for some good news from your doc when you go see him next. Stay POSITIVE!
  6. Also, you might be eating too quickly. You should take no less than 1/2 hour to eat a meal... Crazy, I know!
  7. Either you're a BLATANT liarrrrrrrrr, or you doctor purchased her license in a gum ball machine for .75 cents. Either way, I'm calling you on your BS & LIES.... TheEnd ThatIsAll Btw, the word LYING does not have an "e" neither.
  8. No!!! It doesn't matter if its your own pool, there are STILL. A lot of bacteria
  9. It definitely IS noticeable on tv!
  10. Cream cheese clouds, made with cream cheese, coconut oil OR butter, vanilla extract & your choice of sweetener.
  11. Maybe not for "personal" reasons, but certainly for MEDICAL ones.
  12. Generally, three weeks post op, as long as the incisions are closed and fully healed; however, every surgeon has their own rules... It only take a second to find out, call them (as I did) and see what are their guidelines.
  13. Although I know every surgeon has different guidelines, the differences are NOT that great. If I'm understanding correctly, you're claiming they told you it's "no biggy" that you had SOLIDS on your way home right after surgery... And that the only reason they didn't want you to have SOLIDS was to keep you from puking (btw, there's no "E" in puking)... I highly doubt that ANY surgeon, no matter how lax his rules are will be ok with that, so STOP LYING!! What are you, twelve, that you can't take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism?? Because that's what you've gotten in each and every answer, right up to the point where YOU become the "bully" you've accused others of being. For the most part, I like to give people the benefit of doubt, and do not like to "offend" anyone, but you, my friend, have serious issues. I suggest that right after you "delete your account", you go and sign up for anger management therapy, and most important, for an English 101 course, because, honey, your grammar needs the BAND!!
  14. You said you were 56..... I said you wrote 42 wrong.... I'm implying you look "42"
  15. Those coworkers and "friends" are doing you a favor by distancing themselves. Thank them silently.
  16. Yeahhh, she's working two jobs and gained about 30 lbs. she'll be making regular updates now and plans to get those lbs off.
  17. Who is familiar with SkyMoon1982 on YouTube? (She's back, BTW) she has a video of a 24 hour "holiday" detox on her channel, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it.... The weight that comes off is more likely than not Water weight, but I AM retaining some water & would like to try it.
  18. I dont know if it was; however, i hardly hear of people coming out like this. You can be sure I'm bringing this up during my next visit. For sure the B&B will still be there in two weeks when I go for my second fill. If my nurse is rough AGAIN, I'll request my surgeon instead.
  19. I asked because I was operated on by a doctor who's also partner with her hubby.
  20. It's great that you've decided to go back!!! Believe me, doctors have seen and heard it ALL.... I'm positive you're not the only patient that he has seen go through this. As creatures of habit, we tend to revert back to old habits, so don't be ashamed. Call them and tell them you need to see him ASAP
  21. Stick to your guns, Rod, if its the LapBand you want, don't let him talk you out of it.... They "talked" me out of it, but I quickly changed my mind back to the band.
  22. Yep! I also use a small pillow under my noticeably smaller tummy and I'm four and a half weeks out. Exactly one week post I felt I started slightly sleeping better, by the 12-13th day I still had port pain, but I was able to get in and out of bed easier, as well as sleep better. FEEL BETTER SOON!
