Some places you can order a 1/2 entree but not at all. I worked food service for years and I would let ppl order off the kids menu if they asked. I always add in, "Don't worry, I don't tip based on the bill." Because they are giving the same amount of service I let them know that I'll still tip them as if I ordered an adult meal. As for fastfood I order a Jr bacon cheese burger and leave the bottom bun off and a value size drink. Other places I just order what I want and let it go in the trash, at least it's not going on my backside.

Attention Dr. Almanza patients
SouthernSleever replied to mamamckinzie's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Funny you should say that, I believe Dr Almanza buys adspace on this site while the other Drs you mentioned kelly and Aceves don't. There used to be a HUGE thread about all the screw ups with Bentacourt and Almanza and the thread got lost when the site was revamped. -
I think i'd get enough "sensation" from just looking at my new nipples!

Should I sleeve or Not to Sleeve
SouthernSleever replied to shellnsons's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I don't know. I've had great success with my sleeve so far but I worry about regaining in the future. Some days I wish I had the DS to be sure that I won't ever get really fat again one day. On the other hand I've seen 2 ppl I know in the hospital from complications. The malabsorption is very real and so scare of being malnutritioned. Also DS have to plan their day carefully so they don't eat things that gives them gas or if they have to poop because it smells GAWD awful. I'm happy I had the sleeve and I'd do it over again, same surgery. However it is important to decide what is best for you. -
Question for all Dr. Aceves patients?
SouthernSleever replied to Ellie4me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 8750 if memory serves, call Nina and talk to her. She's great. -

Are you allowed to have a cheese burger this early out? -
Gastric Plication
SouthernSleever replied to keybold64's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Actually the sleeve has been done for many years for people who have had stomach cancer or other issues. Not totally as a weight loss tool. So in 20-30 years what do you think will happen? You will need to gain back some weight? In what I've seen there haven't been a lot of plication success stories and even it has caused more complications. Research carefully. JMO but no way would i have plication, seems like a gimic to me. -
First off hugs to you. Second Get the F out of there. We are adults for him to be treating you this way is one thing but you said he's starting to do it to your kids. NO WAY! Those kids depend on you to make the best choices for you and especially for them. That right there would have my ass flying out the door. So pick up your skinny ass, your great kids and leave.

How do you explain the scars?
SouthernSleever replied to CaliforniaJenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay I change my answer to this. If anyone ever asks I'm totally telling them I wrestled (and won) a black bear! -
How do you explain the scars?
SouthernSleever replied to CaliforniaJenn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can hardly see mine anymore but you could always say you had a hernia or that you got a cut. There is really only one 1/2 inch long scar on my stomach that doesn't look like it could have bene a bad mosquito bite. -
I did the same thing and I gained 10lbs in a matter of weeks. Because of that 10lbs I have stretchmarks on my upper outter arms. From my shoulders to my elbows. They weren't there before but after that rapid weight gain they came on. OH how I regret all that food!

My strange experience.
SouthernSleever replied to britiajon's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Nah I've heard stuff like that happening before. Not that strange at all. -
Sometimes I am not all that bright
SouthernSleever replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Becareful, I think i've read another post of your's like this. You may cause yourself to get a leak in your staple line by putting so much pressure on a new sleeve. If you think that's something to sneeze at, it's not. My friend had the DS, lost 40lbs to be put on TPN (iv nutrition) for 3 weeks where she gained back almost 30lbs setting her weight loss back, and that's the least of your worries if you have a leak. -

Why can't we drink when we eat?
SouthernSleever replied to queenmab's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Ya know, I've read lots of theories on eating and drinking together and here's my experience. Drinking while eating doesn't increase my capacity to eat solid foods at all. In fact, unless I drink before eating it will actually make me more full. So if there's something good I really want to eat I will drink before the first bite so I can eat more of the food (steak usually because it doesn't keep well for leftovers). NOW let me say I don't normally drink and eat at the same time because on occasion it has made me feel yucky. So that's my experience!
