55 here and month sailing all the way! Love my sleeve!

How many times do you want us to post to a topic that we'll do it? Several posted on the other app test topic.. Do we post here too or is it combined?

You sound like me! But trust us... You look awesome!

Ballet?

I KNEW IT! I just knew when I saw that you responded it was going to be a chance of something other than the actually meaning of the question LOL

We need to start a VST members most embarrassing moment thread.

Dr Jaime Ponce ... With the greatest Cordinator, Trish

Half cup cottage cheese mixed with blk cherry Greek yogurt 4 slices Colby jack 3 ozs of chicken Gallon of flavored water

I didn't notice any throat pain at all. Never even thought about ht unil you mentioned it.

LOL.. I just came here to say something about it disappearing too! Sheesh, you admins are mean and take all the fun away

LOL.. They wouldn't listen to me so I'm glad you stopped by

About 24hours. Didn't even know I had one until I got up and walked, which was when I got back to my room.

One night, but we had so much fun we paid for extra nights to continue our vacation.

Awesome job.. You're look good!

I think it's gone quite well. She asked a question and everyone opined. Maybe not with the answers she wanted.. But got all the same

Exactly! Fat is fat is fat.. FAT, I tell ya!

You already got the answer you wanted from your dr., so I can only assume you wanted a few opinions on the contrary?

Another reason insurance shouldn't require such a high BMI. But then insurance is in for money not our health. I watched the woman who was (I think) over 700lbs and she too died from surgery complications. Also saw another one who the mother was the enabler for sure. She was bringing buckets of KFC in the hospital room. So sad. I realize the other people don't "have to" quit eating around us, but seriously... Think of others!

I think the closer you are to your natural weight (goal) the slower it comes off. Your body adjusts to losing too much so it won't take much to stop losing.

LOL! I know , huh? I was thinking of some snarky reponse to the post and thought better of it since it was an admin request so I played it safe with copying yours

Me, too

WOW.. You lost over 100lbs in 4 months? I guess your ticker and post are confusing to me.

When you researched and prepped for VSG what did your surgeon and NUT tell you about consuming alcohol?

I had phlebitis in my arm. Which normally means inflammation of the vein not clots. If you're talking about DVT then that's a different story all together. I. Sure if your surgeon is aware of your condition he would prep for the issues

I went with the band because I was naive and didn't research it. I was ricidulous and I should have realized it was not a good option when two cordinators I went with had revised from band to sleeve. How stupid could I be? Dying twice convinced me that the band is not a safe option to consider for most people. RESEARCH. Go to the lapband forum and search complications. It's outrageous that the band hasn't been recalled.
