Wearing a medical bracelet after bypass surgery
My husband is a first responder and you need to have your med id in your body. in 14 years he never looked in glove compartments or trunks or wallets. ..they dont have time. They are only looking at you and keeping you alive. Sometimes a car accident the purse or wallet is no where to be found as well and they don't know its for you. And if you are in a hotel or house fire they still won't have this info. A on person id is the way to go

How do I get this tape residue off?
I always just let it wear off as you bathe and such. I have sensitive skin and the guk actually will leave bruises if I try to rub it off.

Diabetes
Hi everyone. I have my pre op appointment in two weeks to start the liquid diet and will have surgery in December. I am diabetic and need to loose about 80 lbs but am mainly doing this because I am diabetic. Its been frustrating over the years because my body starts to resist all effort and now I am taking insullin . I would love to hear from y'all about if this really does get rid if the diabetes. I am having a SIP where is the sleeve and they also do the bipass my dr says it help with dumping and malisorption problems. I honestly am doing this more for the diabetes because I have been fat my whole life and don't even know if I have a thin side of me. I have no other health problems even though I am 57 years old. My blood pressure is actually low and I had to do a stress test because my heartrate is low (no problems) I am also rather hyper and active and wonder.how this will change me. Thanks for listening. I cant wait. ..very excited to not have to do shots anymore

Time off work?
My doctor told me 2 weeks is fine. I didnt even take 2 weeks for my gal bladder removal which was 10 years ago and full open surgery. I am a cake decorator and on my feet 12 hours a day easy. Should I plan for more?
