    3+years out milestone?

    This makes me feel regrets and fear. I feel like I'm going to be a ticking time bomb to balloon back up at 3 years
  2. Lately I've been getting feedback from people whom I am eating with saying that I am making them feel guilty for eating so much and I am eating so little. I so just want to say stop projecting your issues on me and don't make me the bad guy. I'm going though enough right now without your guilt piled on top! Geeze.

    Introvert here.... Told my mother. yay me... not!

    I don't understand why it was ok for your brother and not you in her eyes. Smh. I feel for you. I am a private person too.

    Hard knot on stomach?

    You should have it checked. It should not be bigger than the size of a marble, usually the size of a pea. It should be sore and tender but not painful. It's from sutures. If it's a golfball size you may have something else going on. Listen to your wife. It my be nothing but don't take a chance.

    Stomach binder

    I didn't wear one immediately post op but I'm a RN and went back to work 10 days post op. It saved me while working! I only wore it at work for about 2 weeks after going back.
  8. I've accidentally drank too close to eating and it causes EVERYTHING to come up in a spectacular encore presentation.

    @@BLERDgirl - Both clasps feel really secure. They are very sturdy lobster clasps. You can also buy them which aren't interchangeable with one clasp and one fixed side.

    The caduceus appears to be under a layer of lacquer. It looks well made, I don't have any fear of it breaking or falling apart.
  11. Thank you fellow Disney fan, I will. Hopefully a year from now I will regret my regrets. Just feeling pretty low and discouraged tonight. Thank you again for your kind words.
  12. I am on day 28 post sleeve, and yes I do regret my decision. I feel like I have wasted $8500.00 out of my family's funds to do something that isn't even working. I lost 12 before surgery, and additional 8 the first week. I have not lost a single pound since. I am unable to eat without foaming to the gills, ending with spectacular encore of spewing. (commenters please don't tell me to eat slower, chew more, don't drink. I have tried to go so far and portioning out ¼ cups and eating over an hour. I have consulted my NUT and I am eating and doing what I am supposed to. I am getting my fluids and liquid protein in, I just don't want to live the rest of my life on liquids ). I watch my family and friends enjoy themselves visiting over foods while I sit there because I have developed a fear of eating with people around. I am simply frustrated and upset. I feel like all of this misery is for nothing. I am truly happy for those in which this has worked, and I hope your regrets soon pass. I also wish you the best and hope you never have to feel as I do.

    Stinging Pain in Bending

    Good job! I think it actually a referred pain from where they part the muscles. It is very painful. Can't wait for the healing to finish!

    Stinging Pain in Bending

    I had the same exact pain in the same exact spots. I am almost at 1 month and it still comes and goes if I bend or turn wrong. For awhile it was constant. Now it's just sporadic.

    I just got mine yesterday in the mail from www.laurenshope.com. I purchased one with interchangeable bands. Very pretty and very lightweight. I love it.
