  11. Congratulations you look great keep up the good work
  12. I had a pe last year its the worst feeling in your life not being able to really breath plus the two week hospital stay i havent been sleeved yet still have one more appointment i told my surgeon about it i was referred to a specialist to run some test bcos he didnt not want me to get another clot when i get the sleeve so had the test done got the all clear just have to get the lovenox shots and be on a blood thinner as precautionary
  13. Check out southwest bariatric in Austin that's who im going through
  14. I have one more appointment then i meet with the nutritionist to go over the pre op information almost there
  15. Just tell them since you have so much time worrying about what im doing why dont you worry about about youself and stop being so negative and fix some of your imperfections maybe they have some insecurities about them self thats why they cant stand to face those demons they rather try to make smart remarks and make people feel bad I look at it this way my grandmother always told me people will talk about you while you are living people will talk about you when you die so stop worrying about what they think and live your life
  16. You can ask your doctor to switch you to Rivaroxaban (Xarelto a blood thinner that you dont have to watch your vitamin k intake because with the warfarin if you arent consistently eating the same amount of green leafy veggies it will always effect your inr level so I would ask more questions to your dr hope this helps you
  17. Check southwest bariatrics in austin texas the price 9999
  18. Oh ok thanks for clarifying that for me bcos I was about to say omg there's no way I could do that
  19. Not to be funny but thats laxative omg how are you suppose to leave the house in the morning of surgery after taking that I would think you would have to stay pretty close to the bathroom
  20. I have a question why do you have to take magnesium citrate
  21. Im going thru southwest bariatric in austin with dr fass
  22. Im not going to miss buying boots that are wide calf also buying pants that are big on me bcos I have big thighs but small waist finding that prefect dress but its just not in your size everyone saying oh you have a pretty face but what about the rest of me wanting to put on a bikini but just dont have the courage people with their rude remarks they say to others but not to your face
  23. Hello everyone I had a pe last yr I told this to my surgeon during my first appointment with him I have be cleared by a hematologist before I can get a surgery date yesterday they took like 19 tubes of blood from me I get the results back next Thursday keeping my fingers crossed my surgeon said he doesnt want me to have any problems at all if I have the sleeve done
  24. I went to a seminar and to be honest with you the psychiatrist that came out to speak to us said they didnt care about the mental status bcos they dont discriminate also he stated that some of the patients with bipolar or any other mental illness do better than those that don't have anything wrong with them
  25. Good luck praying for a speedy recovery for you
