I'm so sorry to hear about your father passing away. Please call your doctor's office and let them know what is happening. Best wishes to you.

Just think.... maybe someday we can say good bye to our CPAP machines!!!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing..... Your post is uplifting and encouraging!!!

Congratulations on your success!!! Hang in there.... you'll reach your goal!!!

OH NO!!! Wear a mask and use tons of anti bacterial hand lotion!!!

I had abdominal surgery a couple of years ago.... I was put under general anesthesia but also had a spinal epidural. When I woke up I was pain free until the epidural wore off. Explain to the anesthesiologist that the last time you had surgery you were not completely under. Hope this will help.... PS: Thank goodness for spell check!

Have a safe trip.... Godspeed!

Congratulations on your milestone event!

You are under a tremendous amount of stress. I pray that your husband goes into remission soon. You need time for yourself, to focus. There is so much on your plate, your a full time student, your husband is ill and you're making a life changing decision for yourself. I'm sending you my best wishes.....

I avoid the camera at all costs... that's why my Chihuahua, Tia's picture is posted instead of mine!!! Congratulations on your success!

Thanks for your response JKG.... I purchased Successful Weight Loss With The Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez. The books has a lot of good information and answers many of the questions I have. One of the things I learned that some people cannot tolerate seeds, especially in the first four months.

I'm curious, are tiny seeds from blueberries & raspberries dangerous in the first months after surgery???
