    Blue Chevy got a reaction from TinyMamiOf3kids in Lingerie Question   
    I can never get my wife to wear lingerie. I've bought her some before and it just sits in her dresser. She thinks its too much of a chore to put it on only to wear it for a while. She would rather just get down to the nitty gritty.

    My initial weight was around 450. 4 week pre-op liquid diet. Day of surgery I weighed in at 408.5. Haven't stepped back on the scale. Waiting for the 1 month follow up appointment.

    Blue Chevy got a reaction from PhotoChic in How soon is too soon to drive after GB   
    I was told to wait at least 1 week to drive, but if I was still on pain meds to wait until I didn't need them anymore. Going back to work really depends on your job. Because this is an abdominal surgery, things take much longer to heal inside than they do on the outside. As well, you're re-learning how to eat and drink. They like you to learn this before heading back to the daily grind.

    I often respond with "if I don't get the surgery, I could die of a heart attack or something else that is related to being overweight". Usually shuts them up quickly, and it doesn't. I say I will make the decisions in my life and they can make the decisions in their life.

    I also had surgery on the 18th. Doc said my surgery was text book. Went perfectly and took less time than usual. I'm from Toronto Canada. I'm not all that good with keep up with a pen pal kind of thing, just thought I would wish you guys the best of luck with your new journey in life. May we all be very successful!

    I miss pizza and the daily specials from Baldwin Street Burgers. Oh, and Prime Rib. Mind you, I'm still only 6 days post-op and not sure if I will be able to eat prime rib because its far from lean. I'm actually in the middle of a career change because of the surgery, used to be a chef.

    Blue Chevy got a reaction from mommytonya in Birth control after syrgery?   
    I know this is the powder room, this thread just popped up on the app for some reason, however, my wife, as well as a few o her friends who used depo when they were younger, have suffered from long term side effects. 1 of the girls who is 32 is already going through menopause. My wife cannot get pregnant again, we've been having unprotected sex for 7 years. Luckily we were blessed with a daughter before all this happened. And now my wife goes a long time without getting her periods.
    I'm sure there are side effects with any form of birth control, I just figured I would share what I do know about the depo. Best of luck.

    About 6 hours post op now. Is it ever hard to sit up from the hospital bed. However, this is the best birthday present since yesterday was my 30th bday.

    Surgery went great with no complications. A little sore, but nothing a little pain meds can't fix.
