Hi I do not regret having my surgery and I would do it all over again I am 3 weeks post opt and my health has greatly approved I was a diabetic type 2 and no longer on any diabetic medications and I was taking 6 shots a day of insulin, I am off high cholesterol medication and I am only taking a half pill my blood pressure medication and will be off that soon. The first couple of days were rough with the gas but after the gas came out I was feeling great with the exception of a back pain that lasted a week. I have lost almost 40 pounds at 3 weeks post opt and I am looking toward more weight lost. Good luck.

If you lost a friend then they were not truly a friend because friends want you to be happy and healthy. Don't let their disapproval stop you from being healthy and robbing you of years of happiness as well as healthy good luck my friend .

LOL I agree this was an excellent book and it was nice of you to share it with your group to help others.

Hi when you meet with the anesthesiologist they will review and go over your entire health as well as your family history he may ask yo about your sleep apnea and determine if you need a machine or not their job is to ensure that you are in the best shape for this surgery so that their are no surprises.

When I had my surgery everyone who came into my room scan my hospital bracelet before giving me any medications I think this is common practice. Im glad that you are doing well now

I am sorry that you are feeling sad since you mentioned children is it possible for you to volunteer at their school that way you ca meet new people also look for mommy programs in your community when you and you child will have a play day and you can meet new people that way as well. Going to the park with your child you can meet new people. I wish you the best of luck.
