    Bug got a reaction from Scorpion11 in Vision Problems   
    I talked to my eye Doc prior to sleeve (Aug 6) and he said wait until after surgey to get
    new glasses as the prescription will change. I was a diabetic and surgar levels do effect
    vision and I have been taken off my meds. I have notice that my sight has improve without glasses. I think the body is going threw big changes that effects all the sinces, taste and smell
    is others that I noticed changes.
    Positive Thoughts

    Hi
    I wish I did it years ago. I am 5 day post op, drop 25 lbs from pre op diet to now.
    I was released Thurs. I was taken of 2 blood pressure, diabetic, cholestohal,
    and Water pill meds. I could not beleive everything was in the nomal range. I have
    been on these meds for years. The only bad thing is I have hundres of $ wrapped up
    in these pill I still have, I will bite the bullet and take the loose with these worthless
    pills.
    Wish You The Best

    I choose the sleeve over the band, mainly because I felt the band would have
    to many future maintenance issue. I was approved for the bypass But.
    change to the sleeve (Aug 6 2012). The bypass just seemed to have many
    internal changes.
    Good Luck

    Bug reacted to StormWarning in Picture For Motivation   
    So i was finally on Facebook this evening and I came across this picture. It really spoke volumes to me and I thought I would share it with everyone. It reminds me to follow my inner voices and disregard negative feedback.. It expresses some of the very reasons as to why I am on the journey I am.
    Hope you enjoy.
