  1. I know..Sheesh, people!
  2. Great!!! Congrats, on your hard work.
  3. I wish you the best on your journey and show your brother you did it. Yes, I do believe these people are being condescending, which I've cut off one by one. I haven't even had the surgery, and already people are attacking me. That being said, "I drop them one by one." Thanks!!! Good luck to you.
  4. I have to look him up. I'll be self paid myself, that's a great price.
  5. Yep, sleeve sounds right up my alley. Thanks! Happy your doing better with the revision. I can't wait to be sleeved.
  6. I'm happy you did what was best for you. I've heard many complain about reflux with it.
  7. Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks!!
  8. My surgeon like many in South Fla no longer does the band. Too many are saying the revision rates are higher then the success rates. Thus, the band requires far more maintenance then the sleeve.
  9. If you have a sleeve, then there shouldn't be a port. Its maybe something else going on there. It may be an infection. I can't believe a scar tissue can cause that issue so quickly. Ask the surgeon. Good luck and feel better.
  10. Congrats on your healthy, happy baby. I meant virginal birth, obviously you did, so it answered my question. Only because many people state they would have to resort to a c-section. Thanks
  11. Thanks, a lot. I appreciate it!
  12. Good you got approve for the revision.
  13. Sorry about that. I see why people do revisions, many slips.
  14. Thanks, the nutrition part I totally would understand. Thanks again
  15. Lol...yes, I can agree on that. I was planning on kids three yrs later anyway. After surgery I planned on having excess skin removed about a yr or so in. After that, kids are being planning....
  16. Thank you so much for the info. Silly questions, but had to ask. Thanks again.
  17. Wow...sorry. I may do this myself. This is too much problem...smh sorry I hope it gets better for you.
  18. Would wild sex...or rough sex cause the staples to pop? Would pregnancy cause the stomach to stretch which will cause the staples to pop? Dumb questions, but I am curious about this. Sorry. Don't judge me, just educate me. I did research, but of course I need a person who actually had the surgery done to tell me, not the scientific method on how it works once sleeved. Bored and curious at the same time.
