@candy1980- oh dear god! It sounds horrible! Im sorry you had to go through that. ....so what can I do to avoid it? *Jess*

@Candy1980- Were your experiences as bad as what alot of people say? The sweating, throwing up, diarrhea, horrible pain? *Jess*

Doesnt sound fun The dumping syndrome they discribed in my support group here where I live they said that people end up in the hospital its so bad. I hope I never have to experience that! So are people typically more constipated after this surgery rather than having diarrhea?

Thanks everyone!

@Kalimomof3- Yes that makes perfect sense! I figured that was probably why. Well I hope to god I dont have it with my next one because it wasnt fun at all!

Hey everyone! I wanted to give everyone the information on the Walk From Obesity in Lansing MI. I know some people were waiting on the details. Registration starts at 9 am Date: September 22nd 2012 Walk begins at: 10 am Location: Potters Park Zoo in Lansing MI On Site registration fee: $35 Online Registration fee: $25 Site: www.walkfromobesity.donordrive.com/event/lansing2012 This walk will accommodate 1, 2, and 3 mile courses. It is through the Zoo which is nice you can look at the animals while your walking or running. The awesome thing about this walk is they do it to raise money for people who need these types of surgeries done that cannot afford it and have no insurance. Its amazing...these people are getting the second chance they never thought they would have. Spread the word to all of your friends and I hope to see you there!

@Des0520- Yeah I am not sure why they wouldnt because I have no health problems either. But I had a very high risk pregnancy with my daughter. I had high blood pressure...never had pre eclampsia but 1 week after I had my daughter I got full blown eclampsia and was rushed to the E.R and they drained 26 pounds of Fluid of out me. I could have had a stroke. So that could be their reason why...because I may be at rish for it agaIn. Can someone tell me what PCOS is? Like I know what it stands for but what is it and how do I know if I have it?

This is the one of the reasons I am having this surgery done. I will be having the surgery in exactly 40 days from today. I have a four year old daughter who I got pregnant with my senior year of highschool and I was on the birth control pill. Last march in 2011 my husband and I started trying for another one, even though we knew my weight was the highest it had ever been. So I started on weight watchers while we were trying and lost a little here and there but nothing consistant. I tried everything possible to get pregnant...stopped smoking, ate healthy, stopped drinking, used a basal thermometer, etc. This march in 2012 I went into my OBGYN to talk to her to find out why it wasnt happening and she said it definitely could be due to my weight. I asked about some kind of fertility pills or something I could possibly take to help it along. The response I got was that I needed to lose about 100 pounds before they would even think about giving me anything like that. I was devastated. I didnt want to wait any longer... my daughter was starting to get older and I didnt want my kids that far apart. I have started to accept the fact that I will not have another baby for at least 2 more years because of surgery and Im okay with that. It actually is going to work out great because by then my daughter will be in school full time and itll save me on daycare exspenses. So hopefully it happends after im cleared by my doctor to go ahead and start trying.

I have been going back and fourth between the sleeve and gastric bypass and today after reading a ton of info and stories on here I decided to go with the sleeve. Im very happy with my decision...so far...hopefully I feel that way after surgery in september as well lol. From what I've read on here everyone seems to be pretty happy with it. *Jess*

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Mommydearest74- Thanks! I hope so too! lol

Thats really exciting! Congrats and goodluck!! My surgery is coming up the end of september and I am starting to get really nervous.

Thanks you guys! I really think I am making the best decision for myself. It looks like you both have done a great job! Im a little nervous as its getting closer. Im not so much nervous for the surgery itself because I have had surgeries before....its the after part where you have to re introduce food. Im scared i might get sick.
