I long to live in Marin County.. We have a beach house at Stinson through!!

Thank you that help! I am a research based person and have to know the workings and inter workings of everything so based on my own research I determined that my reflux would probably get better. Thanks again!

Hey PDXMan, I have not had surgery yet, May 7th. I am going to have a hernia repair with my surgery and I was told that my reflux was due to my hernia. In your opinion; do you think my reflux will get better because of the hernia repair?

I have Blue Shield of California through CALPers and they required 6 months of weigh ins, full blood panel, psych eval, EKG, Endoscopy, Chest X-ray, Pap smear, seminar, nutrition class, support group, consultation, and after all that was done they submitted my paperwork to insurance and I was approved the next day. I have one more blood panel todo before surgery, 2 week preop diet and my date is 5/7 at 6:30 am

At first I was private but now a month from surgery I'm telling more people than I thought. I'm an open book and if they don't like it they can eff off. I'm a horrible liar anyways. I'd be too obvious trying to lie or make shit up.

Multivitamin, B12 and D

Wow that's awful! Glad your ok!!! How/where was the internal bleeding located and where did you get your surgery?

Hello I'm Stephanie, a 35 year old wife of 13 years and mother of two amazingly gorgeous children. Mason is 11 and Stella is 4. I live in Northern California in the foothills near Sacramento. I work for the State and my husband and I own a Landscape Company. I have been a fat girl all my life. Born at almost 10 lbs. After I had my son at 23 I have really struggled with my weight. I used to weigh 118 my senior year of highschool but that was because of drugs. I have been creeping up the scales for years now regardless of my continued diet attempts. I have tried pills, drops, fads, gimmicks, whatever they have put out there I have tried em! I work out and nothing helps.. So I'm getting sleeved. At first I was set on the band but after researching it seemed the sleeve was right for me. However my doctor suggested I do RNY. I guess I need to think more on that... I have done all my preop BS and have gotten my approval and am just waiting for a date now.... My family is really supportive but I give them no choice lol. If anyone starts their negative talk (which is rare) I lash at them. My life my choice. Anyways I am terrified and excited for this journey and can't wait to get this weight off! I have high BP, high cholesterol, planters faciitis, back pain ect... In so ready to feel good!!!
