losingit2013 got a reaction from Brenda0928 in June surgery dates
Had surgery June 10th. I feel fantastic! I was walking the night of my surgery, day after, and walked two blocks yesterday. I sipped about 5 teaspoons of broth for dinner. I had trouble sleeping because I felt too full. I got up this morning, did some leg exercises to prevent DVT and I'm ready to hop on a plane to go home! Woot Woot
It's weird how we worry about one thing and swap it for another. I bruised my leg pulling myself up from the hospital bed, now I'm nervous about DVT. (Rolling eyes)

losingit2013 got a reaction from lonestarstategal in Surgery Experience: Dr. Kelly 6/10/13
I had my sleeve done yesterday by Dr. Kelly at Hospital Nova. I have nothing but great things to say. I'm a little sore this morning. I wish my back didn't hurt so bad from gas, but it's all good. My doc in the state missed that I had a hernia which was apparently pretty bad. I'm grateful that's fixed also.
I was walking to the loo last night. I'm hoping things continue to get better today.
Negatives: the couch for the hubby sucks. They never brought him blanket or sheets, so he's constantly peeling himself off the vinyl. No bottle Water to brush teeth.
I'll write more later.

I used PB2 in my shakes but real Peanut Butter and nuts, not until after 6 months.

Two more days to surgery! I start a clear liquid diet today and ship the kids off to relatives for a few days.

losingit2013 reacted to Bufflehead in Dr. Kelly as a back up plan...but what do I do when i get back?
If you can make it to Jan. 2014, the Affordable Care Act kicks in and insurance companies will be prohibited from denying you coverage or charging you a higher rate due to a pre-existing condition.

Just take COBRA under your husband's insurance for as long as you need. Or, ask for him to cover you for 12 months as part of the divorce settlement. Just a couple ideas that you may not have considered....

You should have filed a case with the EEOC. That would teach them a lesson!

losingit2013 got a reaction from MrsPierre in Anyone with 180 pounds doing the sleeve?
I'm almost 5'1. You'll never heard me admit I'm anything else.
My highest weight 211. I'm 187 today. I get a sleeve on Monday. Honestly, I'd be happy with any loss that helps alleviate the co-morbidities.

losingit2013 got a reaction from Sassafras in Doc changed our hospital b/c other hospital equipment is "broken and sub-par"
I'm having my surgery w/ Dr. Kelly on Monday. We are scheduled at NOVA now and frankly, I feel much better with moving. It has a trauma center, that's a step up as far as I'm concerned. Bottom line, I chose my doctor. I trust him... If you don't have that comfort level in the doc, you should not book your appt.

losingit2013 reacted to LipstickLady in How did you get through 2 weeks pre op?!
Day 7 here and I sort of lost it yesterday. I will say that my NUT is thrilled with my weight loss so far, so she really doesn't care (kind of giving me license to cheat GRRRRR....). I am proud to say that I "gorged" on lean Protein, Beans, veggies and FF dip made with greek yogurt. Stayed under 1200 calories but was finally full. I am back on track today!

losingit2013 got a reaction from Rox in Drained
I'm drinking lots of water! I have a 20oz and I drink three at work and another in the evening. It's weird because I don't really take meds for my pain usually, it just seems to be flaring up.
I'll be honest. I wish I had taken a few days off this week because I can't even stand how serious I've been and to call me a B word would be polite.

losingit2013 got a reaction from SuNMooNStaRS816 in You don't weigh enough for that....So sick of hearing this!
Preaching to the choir girlfriend. I say EFF them! We all make our own decisions for various, personal reasons. So long as the choice is for yourself, and not for someone else, it's the right decision.
