  1. You are correct in your heading. Of course gagging is bad. This is the wrong forum. You need to connect with someone who can teach you what you are doing wrong. Sexual acts are supposed to be pleasant for both parties.
  2. This topic came up recently and created quite an emotional response and lots of posts. The Drs varied from 3 weeks to one year.
  3. I had to see one for 6 months. Didn't learn anything new but was a requirement
  4. I just went to see a friend who didn't follow the advised diet plan. He has 4 stints and a feeding tube. He has to have a RNY and all its nightmare complications. Nyou went through all the hoops and underwent a major surgery. Is a slice of pizza worth it?
  5. Lol smoking not smiling. Silly auto correct
  6. No he didn't. Ate too much, began smiling again, progressed diet too fast etc.
  7. new me how was the pain. I have a huge hiatal hernia and my surgeon warned me the pain will be bad in the shoulders. Is that true for you?
  8. Wow guys I am really nervous now. Garcia did a friends of mines surgery Nov 28. I stopped by to ask him how it went. He had a leak and has 4 drainage tubes and a feeding tube. They are going to convert him to a RNY but haven't done it before. I suggested he go to South Bay or San Diego where they have done a zillion. The only thing that calms my fears is that he has been totally non compliant since day 1. And I've talked to many here who are problem free
  9. You guys will have to tell me all about it.i pushed my surgery off til May so you two will be old pros by then
  10. Maharet, that's a shame you don't meet the requirements. My BMI more than meets the requirements, I have knee replacements and high blood pressure so I'm eligible, just scared to do it! ,kndi, Yeah for you, keep me posted how it goes
  11. OMG!! Someone else with the same fears. I thought I was a weirdo
  12. My NUT said its very unlikely we would be able to tolerate breast meat unless its soaked in gravy
  13. outrigger42 replied to Snow's topic in The Gals' Room
    Thanks for the chuckle. I laughed so hard my dogs started howling!
  14. I got a great one from Jenny craig
  15. Go to settings then notification options
  16. I have the same issue. I just explained that I have surgery scheduled and have had to wait awhile for the date, which is true. When they asked what kind I said hiatal hernia which is true, it will be part of the procedure. To be honest a bride is too excited about her wedding than to really care who is there. I can barely remember who attended mine. Just be sure and send a gret gift.
  17. No they didn't call. The surgeon reviewed the findings at the consult. Nothing is going to slip between the cracks because the surgeons don't want to take risks of a failure.
  18. Even if they didn't take enough, they still took some. You shouldn't be gaining.
  19. My nut gave me a page lists of healthy options. Sounds like yours is making a profit from supplements.
  20. You are probably fine. They took so many pictures of me, I thought the same. All was normal
  21. I'm a doctor at Kaiser not a nurse. I haven't done the sleeve yet because they changed my meds and I'm losing weight. Wanted to give it a couple of months to see if the weight would come off on its own. I was a 10 until they put me on these meds and nothing worked so I decided to try the sleeve. Now that I'm off the meds I'm hoping!!
  22. State department of vital records
  23. After finishing the Kaiser classes it took me two weeks to get an appointment and 2 weeks for a surgery date, although I decided to postpone for a few months. One of the guys in my class was sleeved 2 weeks after finishing our class. We both have Naik. All 3 of them want you to do a 2 week liquid diet to lose 10 pounds of belly fat but I hear Irani is the most lenient
  24. I've been a size 10 until they put me on psych meds. I'm now a 2x. I found a new psychiatrist who changed my meds and have lost 20 ponds in 4 weeks. I cancelled my surgery until may to see if the weight loss continues. My question is, are there people who don't lose on the sleeve? I've heard of 2 cases but they are foodies.
