there is also obesityhelp.com,they have weight loss forums and info also.doesn't hurt to check them all out.you want to do all the research you can.Alice oh and welcome!

i read that stomach acid can make you feel hungry.don't know from experience.

i don't have one either,and nothing was mentioned to me about any problems.i am scheduled for surgery sept 15th.!

welcome Hailey!

i am soooo glad for you,i remember you were worried,now look at you!i haven't had mine yet,sept 15th is my day.hope it goes as smooth as yours.

congrats on your date,i will be sleeved sept 15th.i am not much for costumes,but with the holidays coming up i wont cringe when i see myself in holiday pictures anymore,yay!

please let us know when you feel better! hope everything is alright.alice

i'm thinking the sutured area will grow together and form scar tissue,i don't see how the stomach can be made whole again should you need it again.

sorry i haven't heard of comlication insurance.don't know the answer...

will do!!!!

woohhoo!!!

when i went to orientation i was the "smallest" person there at 5'1" 213 lbs.when i told my brother he said,well that should tell you something.like i really wasn't morbidly obese,that these people made me look smaller??well no, compared to the average "normal"person i look like a box...lol.so the point being he made me feel like it isn't an emergency that i have the op.but....i know me...and i already added started gaining when i retired...sometimes i wonder if i AM doing the right thing.but i know my history and i need help.i don't want to be a box with borderline blood pressure issues...

it is hard to know what normal will be,since i haven't been,with my eating! you look fantastic.i just got my date,sept 15th.now it is a reality.i will try not to freak out and hyperventilate .you are an inspiration!beautiful!congrats on your hubby coming home from Iraq.My son a marine was over there twice.I want him to stay here now and forever!! thank your hubby for me for being brave enough to go there,alice

i have a date for sept 15th,i am scared! i hope to lose 60 pounds,lost 20 pre op.

I live in Sac and am going to SSF for surgery.i changed the location early on due to the fact my brother lives in the so.bay and will be taking me on what ever date i get.I go to the kaiser support group on 4th sat ,maybe i will see you there.

i had it and after it stopped hurting on the bottom for some reason the top of my feet hurt too.then it went away.i did stretch here and there.i wore good walking shoes.but it just went away after about 6 months,all the pain so happy.i am still fat,so it doesn't seem to be related to that(havent had surgery yet)Alice
