    ThinForGood? got a reaction from jensjoy28 in A letter of love to my body   
    Touching post. Thank you for that important reminder. Best wishes for a quick recovery from surgery. You will do great. The sleeve has changed mylife for the better and I marvel at my new body everyday, so conscious of every drink and morsel of food. Even more than food, I'm more conscious of life. Even the change in seasons was different this Spring... The flowers seem more beautiful and the smells of the blooms are incredible. In my bigger body I suppose I didn't take time to smell the roses, now I do.

    ThinForGood? got a reaction from Yasmine in Nov Sleevers... What's Your Status?   
    I can't believe how much my life has changed since nov 12... Highest weight was 233. Today 154! Never thought I would see the day. This Summer has been so fun, dating and wearing size 10 white jeans! Someone pinch me! The only real downside is the saggy skin and deflated boobs... But nothing a good bra can't fix! I'm not going to complain about that! cheers to all the success of my fellow November sleevers!!

    ThinForGood? got a reaction from Chelenka in Sitting in an airplane seat with NO seat belt extender!   
    Great post. I just flew for work last week since losing 60 pounds... I could actually cross my legs during the flight (yes, in coach!). I could put my purse under the seat in front of me and get it out during the flight with no problems. Skipping the complementary Diet Coke for Water almost brought me to tears but so did crossing my legs and I'll take those happy tears any day! Here's to a lifetime of comfortable travel.

    ThinForGood? got a reaction from Teddy bear in Surgical glue allergic reaction   
    I was sleeved Nov 12. This is my first post but I felt very compelled from your post. About 5 days after surgery my tummy/incisions started itching like crazy. At my 10 day check up the surgeon said it was allergic reaction to the glue and to use Benedryl. I did and it didn't work, in fact it got much much worse. Little red, itchy hives all over my tummy from incision to incision in all directions. I emailed the surgeon a picture and the nurse responded that I should go to my general doctor. I did and it was an infection! Called Folliculitis, a form of staph infection. I was devastated. But the antibiotics I'm on and the prescription steroid cream are working. Please please do all you can to get medical help, if it's not getting better please go to a specialist. Don't stop until you are satisfied that it's getting better. You are in my prayers as I know how horrible and scary anything out of the "norm" can seem.
