How long can I expect to be off of work?
I have mostly been on the Facebook September Members page, life is going. I am down 75 pounds since surgery in sept. My relationship with my boyfriend of 6 years has been rocky so I been dealing with that. And now that I don't have food I feel lost and bored and find myself depressed trying to work through it. Nice to see someone notices I haven't been on in awhile.

Not Losing Weight?
I had a plateau at about week 3 and stayed at the same weight for almost 2 weeks I wanted to cry and thought I did the surgery for nothing and I'm not gunna lose anymore, then bam started losing again and I hadn't changed a thing. Don't worry you will lose weight with time as long as your eating and drinking everything your suppose to and will lose even faster if you exercise.

Is My Dr Insane?
My opionion yes yer doctor is insane. I would clarify with him if he doesn't perscribe narcotics as a standard order or at all. Because the no option of narcotics I wouldn't get it done. I was in a lot of pain after surgery and I have had 2 c-section and found this surgery to be more painful.
