Omg me tooooooo! I have thee thickest hair and I think stress and anxiety b4 surgery is growing me bald! I'm scared to see what happened after the surgery! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok sleevers, Im set for 12/26, I've had a c section and TT so I'm not concerned with the pain, I think I'm more nervous about the mental part. Especially for the first few days! Thoughts?whats it like? Ahhhhh Sent from my iPhone using VST

I told my boss I was having a laparoscopic stomach surgery due to an issue with acid reflux. I work at a small law firm, I'm using vaca days and I said if I needed longer I would go on disability. If people notice the weight coming off well ill just say its 2013 and I have a resolution for the new year. You don't have to tell anyone you don't want to know! Good luck!

I am, in fact my doctor suggested it! I bought a whole case. It's a purple liquid! They are decent, have a slight gritty after taste. It's better for u then Gatorade. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Wow how nice of you! Thank u and God bless!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Wow you guys are simply the best!!! Ok not exactly sure if I have a sinus thing or strep etc but I explained to the doctor at the medi center about my upcoming surgery. Long story short she wanted to get me on zpac 5 day antibiotic to be proactive! So other than feeling weak and lazy I'm just Chillen in bed and using the other home remedies you guys suggested! Thx again seriously!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

You were in the hospital pumped with fluids via IV, now your home getting as much in. Remember fluids will leave your body as you get more in. Give it time! You will do amazingly!! So next week when I post the same comment you did, I will contact you for advice, I go in on wed. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using VST

Go for it! Reason being you may have a low bmi but why struggle like you have been when you can do something proactive about it. I was 170 at one point and now I'm 240 scheduled same day as you! Good luck Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks everyone, so far no aches just a sore throat, but it's the kind that doesn't just seem scratchy. I'm going to go to an medi center soon and see what they say. But I will contact the surgeon either way. Thx everyone!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok, so I'm set for Wed to have the procedure. But as of last night I started getting a sore throat. Switch to 5am and it's worse and still here!!!! I took Tylenol, not helping! What should I do? I don't want surgery to be rescheduled!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had a section in 2006, tummy tuck in 2008, while I made the mistake of getting the surgery prior to getting rid of all of my excess weight, it did help me in the gym bc I worked out better w/o having to look down and see that pouch of skin. However, my main piece of advice is to make sure you have a great doctor! Mine had to revise twice in his office and it still looks terrible, never flat! I went for a second opinion for revision and the doctor agreed if he did that surgery he would have been disappointed and fixed it the right way. So all in all get a good doc! Don't assume a nice doctor is a good doctor! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm scheduled for 12/26, but from the support on here, look at it like this......if there is pain or discomfort it's only for a few days. Compare a few possible difficult days to a lifetime of miserable days with 4 beautiful children. Once you have your surgery, think of the amazing days you will have with your kids. This surgery will allow you to do all you may have avoided! You get to live life! Good luck!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Does anyone feel like they are breaking up with themselves? Weird I know! It's safe and familiar to be over weight and down on myself. Being miserable is all I know. But at the same time, I'm so ready to end this abusive relationship with myself! 12/26 is the day!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

You guys are wonderful! Thank u so much!!! I don't have to prep other than the day before, Clear liquids. Any advice? Or suggestions?? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thx!!! My husband keeps asking me what I want for Xmas but I think I want to wait bc I will want clothes! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Poke a rat!!!! Lol I'm still in awe at the time he takes to go over things with you! Very impressed! I'm looking forward to a fresh start! What happened with Dr Law?

Thx everyone! I'm scheduled 12/26, hoping to get insurance approval this week! I'm so ready to get in shape and healthy!
