Wow I hope you guys are ok. Keep us posted!!

Oh I can't wait to hear from you guys!!! May everything go smoothly!!

You can't make someone do something they don't want to do and you cannot change people. You may need to learn to pick your battles and accept the fact that he may not enjoy working out. I know he promised you and that is probably what is pissing you off. You guys just need to fun a common interest and run with that. You may be using him as your motivation to work out and have crated a dependency on him for your success.

Right?! Lol!!!

To each his own.

Best advice ever!

You an amazing writer! What a different spin on all the other boring stories! I am glad your doing good!

Mont they have to shrink your liver to make the surgery easier. They actually lift the liver up to get to your stomach so by detoxing the liver it becomes smaller and easer to work with.

Well I got the results today from my biopsy that was taken during the endoscopy and all is well! I'm clear!! Thank god!! He said I have mild gastritis and it's nothing to worry about.

Yep you don't remember a thing, your fast asleep

????

I heard the poopable staples are a silly myth

You deserve a long nap!

Beautiful!!!

I was sore in my upper tummy after my endoscopy. How about you?

I came into this thinking the lap band was it. I loved that it was the least risky, less invasive and reversible because there was no cutting, stapling or re routing of the stomach. Then I started doing deep research and found that doctors are actually kind of steering away from lap band due to the high complication rate and rate of re surgery. So I asked myself... Do I have the time in my life to drive an hour and a half a month for fills? Do I want another surgery if something goes wrong? Will my insurance cover it or can I afford it? As far a the drastic part of it, well for me I need something drastic!! Something that was gonna actually work! Something that would get me to my goal and not just half way there. I have now been to countless support groups and seminars and nutrition classes and the sleeve is right for me. I have 100 lbs to loose and I don't have time to mess around with fills and crap. My problem is that my stomach is too big! Sooo, take 85% of it!! Please!!!!! lol! Whatever you choose you have to feel happy and content with your decision. Best of luck to you!!

Well good luck to you! How have you been doing? Were you in a lot of pain after surgery? Can you feel the soreness in your stomach where it has been but and stapled? I can feel the pain from the biopsy...

Interesting! I find out the results next week.

How many moths out are you? How much have you lost?

Well I had my endoscopy yesterday and I have Gastritis (inflamed stomach lining) and a hiatal hernia, (that I never knew I had) they took a biopsy of my stomach and now I have stinging and pain in my upper belly.... They said that I have to ok for Surgery but this inflammation thing kinda erks me out. I have been taking NSAIDs for many years.... Anyone else?

Sorry! I've convinced myself its not as bad as I'm making it out to be in my head. But being "hangry" makes everything seem 10 times worse than it is. Lol. Yes being hungry is the Pitts.. Story of my life! Lol!! Best of luck to you guys!

Oh gaw! You guys making me scared for my preop diet!!! Lol!!! Can you take a appetite suppressant during that time??

You look awesome! Congrats in your success!

I'm not really picky and I like weird stuff anyways so many protein drinks I buy I actually love the taste!!

Good to know! Thanks!
