  1. I was brought up a "creationist" so I know a lot of them. I ask my mom questions now and most of her answers are "because god said" lol ..useless conversation lol ...
  2. Prove it! (Of course this info is pertinent to my sleeve success)
  3. What if jesus comes back before I reach onderland ???????
  4. I haven't scheduled yet. I got my psych eval last week also and the psychologist told me she'll have it written this week ..sooo hopefully tomorrow all of my stuff will be turned in to insurance. I was told to expect a date for late January early feb. Due to the holidays. .. and waiting on insurance approval. .. try to get ur psych eval and pcp letter out of the way so all u wont have to worry about it at the end. ..and thx! Ive been trying to get the ball rolling since April its been a loong road
  5. Any sleevers have any issues w/ losing wt while on seroquel? Whats ur dosage/cocktail? ?
  6. I wonder about the stress reducing the stomach causes on other organs like gall bladder, pancreas, and liver.
  7. Cool that reference is really helpful
  8. This is true about the partial gastrectomies however I believe we have more info on vsg just from the collected data from other partial gastrectomies than lap band but it isnt marketed that way. VSG is kind of presented like they have absolutely no idea what complications might arise past 10 yrs.. but its not true. Lapband seems more like the experimental surgery. Sorry about your friend. ..I couldn't imagine not having a stomach...if I dumped after everything I ate id be miserable. .I wonder if a gtube would help idk.
  9. Sorry that sucks ..im still preop so I dont have an answer. ...ibuprofen and blood thinners do exacerbate bleeding but two weeks is ridiculous
  10. General surgeons have been performing total and partial gastrectomies for cancer patients and people w/digestive issues for decades....Why is the wls community telling everyone there is no long-term records of patients living w/ partial or no stomach at all???
  11. Cool good for you! Gives me hope, I would really love to date another free thinker/realist/humanist/atheist/agnostic lol or somewhere in there.. or a theologian!? just someone I can have an intelligent convo with about religion, history, humanity, science..most religious ppl dont know the books they live by well enough to have a decent discussion about religion ...
  12. I think "militant atheist doctrine" is like "antitheism" ie. Christopher Hitchens ... As much of a Hitchens fan as I am ..I dont think id want to spend my social time with 30 Hitchens. .. lol
  13. Cool glad u found your match.
  14. If god invented pizza it would be poisonous.
  15. Lol... I think its the commercials ..if you pay attention to how they present food to us ..its like the are targeting an addicted audience. ..especially the pizza commercials
  16. Oh cool ...I think the potential for conflict depends on how "religious" the religious person is.
  17. Just finish my 6mth visits last week ... the time goes by really fast...its really a major decision to have the surgery that extra time is good for you to mentally prepare for the surgery. Im nervous now lol ..its getting very real.
  18. Yes im black I am very aware I was raised C.O.G.IC. Id need the patience of Job If I called myself waiting on an Atheist Black man lol:)
