  1. Great. Good to see its working for you.
  2. Ok I just saw the picture. Definitely see the doctor. And I mean soon.
  3. Definitely. Sometimes when incisions come open it's cuz something was keeping them from healing in the 1st place and coming open was inevitable.
  4. I was thinking the same thing. I got flamed just last week for commenting about what I feel is the superior attitudes of some of our own....now it comes from all sites. I'm grateful I had this site, but I sure do feel sorry for those really looking for advice. Way too much fighting and a lot less sharing. Even the sharing is turning into arguments. And this was such a good forum. I'm sure Alex meant well. I still love my band.
  5. I was below my required BMI. We ended up checking my height. I thought I was 5'4. Turns out I'm 5'2. Made all the difference in the world. Who thought I'd be grateful for old age shrinking lol.
  6. Premier protein from SAMs club
  7. You will have a preop diet, right?
  8. Cool. I haven't worn my wedding rings in 10 years
  9. That's what I was thinking. Waiting room 10 minutes. Fill 2 minutes. Talk to my surgeon and ask questions if I have any. Eat a cracker and drink a little water and I'm out of there. Miss 45 min to an hour of work. Liquids 1 day, mushiness 1 day.....not much maintenance there. But everybody keeps commenting on how high maintenance it is.
  10. Wow 2 wks clear liq? That's rough
  11. And I'm not talking about any of you guys lol
  12. While were at it, can anyone tell me why I block people and on my PC but they're not blocked on my phone?
  13. This far out, I'm surprised that you're still having gas pains. Just curious, have you had your gallbladder checked? Gallbladder Will cause a referred pain in the shoulder.
  14. To me it's a little too much too fast.
  15. I think if it's that hard and that painful I would have to have them look at it. It may be a hematoma or infection process.
  16. I know. My 10 yo grandson asked why not put my big clothes away til I grow into them. In his mind that's the where are you it's supposed to happen
  17. You do look great. I love that this board has so many success stories. It gives me motivation.
  18. Hey, whatever works. I love my band so far. I know I still have to follow rules but I have help now. It took this to show me my obesity was never about physical hunger.
  19. Not to mention all of the holiday snacks people prepare that you have to run dodge and jump
