    Abnormal Pain - Pre-Op

    I was told it could be related to simple reaching. If you are feeling good and moving better simple things like reaching across the counter for a pen or up high for a cup or down low for your pocketbook can cause it. Gas blows, if that it what is. Wish that would just end for us!! Hope you feel better soon!!!
  2. Thank you both! Am going to take a little trip out on Thursday to SAMs, while my mom ( aka chauffer, laundress, kid and hubby care taker and super helper ) is still here. We don't have a costco here boo!

    Child free... Way off topic

    Such a personal choice. I have biological children 5&6 and an adopted 16 years old who joined our family at 14. I have a pretty demanding career and can tell you that being a parent is the hardest thing I've ever done. The best thing too. I always say my kids are not my whole life, but they are my priority. I think anyone who is insightful enough to know themselves and that they aren't ready to take on that priority is very brave and wise, and shouldn't we ashamed at all. Don't let lack of motherly instinct be your only deciding factor, many of us have felt that way... Even when our babies were first born. I remember looking at my daughter in the hospital and expecting this rush of joy and connection, instead I was like "who the eff is this person and what have I done?!" This makes me think of how I have some family members who think that all you are is how you look, I wasn't worthy in their eyes because I was overweight. Ne'er mind that I was the first to graduate college in my family and went in to get advanced degrees and was a successful, kind person. Same thing with being a parent, not one thing defines you. You are you and magnificent- with or without children.

    Confused now.....

    I knew people who had both done and 1 felt the sleevers were more successful and happy with loss. 2. I didn't like the idea of something foreign in me. 3. Some of the banders, 2/4 were having to get revisions because of slippage, erosions or little success. 4. Knew myself and knew I needed something more "drastic" and restrictive as a weight loss tool.

    Do people really do this s**t?

    Whatever! When you use this amazing tool to reshape yourself and change your life they will find something else to say. People who haven't struggled with weight just don't get it. But here is the deal, you did it, you! Not the sleeve, your nut or your dr. Yes, they helped you but you did it!!'
  6. Best of luck to you all! You are so worth it. Speedy recovery!
