Anyone gained the weight back?
Have you ever heard of anyone who had the sleeve that gained the weight back? I know I have heard of the bypass ones gaining it back but what about the sleeve ones?

good news and bad news
Could it be possible that your vitamins make you sick? If I take my vitamins on an empty stomach, it makes me puke.

On Q pain buster
Has anyone had the non-narcotic pain relief pump? How was it? Is it worth it? I've been considering this and would like some input. Thanks

Finished final pre op class
So happy classes are all done. But I came home and was really tired. There is a chocolate fudge cake on the counter and yep I did it. Started just a sliver off the cut part but it was sooo good had to have another. Feel kinda guilty but surgery is 7 days away just had to have it. I've been so good on the liver diet, I just caved. All I can say

January Newbies ! Progress ?
I'll tell you after the 22nd. Lol
-
Start pre op class tomorrow
Yep, final class, it's only 7 hours long. Lol. My hubby is complaining cause he hates classes. Even for work. He sleeps through class, but always aces tests. He has to go, they require your support to attend with you. I think it's funny, but at least he's going.

Never imagined the difficulty....
I never could take vitamins on an empty stomach, always with milk or something. You may be that way too.

The FLU!
So sorry for you. I purchased a belly band from JCP for my surgery. From experience, it holds it all together. My Mom taught me this lil trick, don't know how I made it without one.

We have to have a drain tube?
A drain tube has holes on the end to allow fluid to drain from abdominal area, usually blood and water drain out. They place it in the area they removed inside you with the other end out of you with a bulb on the end that has lite suction. When it's not putting out a lot they just pull it out. It's not that deep so it isn't that bad when they take it out. I've have several of them in the past.
