  1. Lap band-I had a hernia repair a few years ago with a patch. I had a horrible inflammatory response to it. Where the patch was felt like it was on fire for about 6 weeks. I wasn't even going to consider another foreign object in my body!!

    Bypass-Just don't like the idea of my anatomy be moved around.

    Sleeve-only choice I liked. (When I heard about bypass years and years ago, I wondered why can't they just make the stomach smaller with rerouting things.)


  2. I went from a 8W ( wide) to a 6.5 ???? I am 6 months out. I just donated TONS of shoes :)

    you just made me very happy! I wear a 8 w but my feet are so short! They're very wide and thick. I'm I go down just like you. Though I can fit into kid tennis shoes.


  3. There's been a lot of posts on the three week stall. You might just got yours early. Remember you just had MAJOR surgery. Your stomach was cut out. Your body needs time to heal. Weight is just how much force gravity is pulling. (Can't remember the actually definition right now) Your weight might be "stalling" due to numerous factors, bm, bloating, etc. I can almost guaranty you, you are still losing fat. Put the scale away for awhile.


  4. Yes, I've still taking pain meds. Friday, we went to San Diego. I did way to much. We went on an old navy ship and submarine. My husband wasn't sure I could do it but I had never been on one so I was determined. Going through those holes left me in a lot of pain. Then we went on an air craft carrier, by the end of that I was in tears. My stomach and an old hip injury (which was hurting me much more then my stomach). Today I'm okay. I went to a medical supply store and got a binder for my stomach and it's helping a lot. I'm at work so I don't want to take anymore pain killers.


  5. I'm usually a worry wart but I was so calm. I had no nerves. My husband on the other hand was a nervous wreck especially since we went to Mexico for it. He was worried about protecting me. When we got here realized, I wouldn't need "protection". And then talking to the doctors, he calmed down a lot. Both of us can't get over the excellent care I have received here. Even told me if I need plastic surgery, we should come back.
