You will be fine! I love Mexican food too, but that was a main reason I gained my weight! Now I can eat an enchilada and feel stuffed! When you go out to eat all you do is eat what you are comfortable with and take the rest home. When I get a half order of quesadillas, I have 4 meals! It's nice to eat and NOT feel miserable afterwards. I could eat a whole medium pizza before, now 1 slice. You get used to smaller meals and the size 10-12 feel and look so much better than the 22-24! Good luck! You can do it!

Praying for both of you! So glad your specialist sent you to another specialist!good luck

After gallbladder surgery, I was able to take a 7 hour drive to see family the next day and after my surgery, I was driving the next week. My Dr ordered home health for 3 weeks to make sure I was walking and doing ok. No lifting for awhile. But it is ultimately up to you. Talk to your daughters doctor and to your surgeon. You also will need moral support to figure out what to do. Get it done now you will be ready to go when the babies get here, put it off until things are running smooth again and you may never get the surgery. I'll be praying for you to do the right thing and for your daughter and the babies! Good luck! God Bless you!

Yes it is secret on Facebook!

Don't get discouraged, take your measurements and then check them once a month. I found on the weeks it felt like I didn't lose, it was inches I lost! Good luck on your journey! I'm 8 months out and almost at goal. If the weight would come off like the first 3 months, I would be at goal 2 months ago. Patience is one thing your sleeve teaches you.

I accidentally swallowed a chewable vitamin and ended up in the ER. the Dr said to drink some Sprite (or any carbonated) drink and it would dissolve the pill. Not sure about the cherry pit though. But yes it hurts!

Don't forget the robe! Remember hospital gowns have changed a bit, but some still open in the back. Don't be nervous about the surgery, talking to the nurses you will find most of them have had the surgery! Good luck!

Since my surgery, I've been able to get off my machine. My husband said my snoring is very rare now and I'm breathing all night. I may talk to my doctor to get another sleep test just to make sure. But for now, I'm enjoying not wearing it!

155 yea! Scales finally moving!!

I had a problem with swallowing the first 2 weeks and gas pains. Dr suggested gasx . That worked. Your body has just gone thru major surgery so give it time to heal. I also had trouble sleeping because of the GERD. Took 3 weeks before I could sleep lying down. I'm 7 months out and have no problems. Don't rush the food, your body will let you know when you can tolerate it. Good luck!

I just saw Tea 2 Go carries them individually.

It puts air in your stomach. I get the hiccups and feel full.

I have, I was going to water aerobics 4 night a week and seeing results, then I took a week vacation, then my husband had surgery, ended up being away from gym for 2 months. I tried going back but only lasted a couple of weeks and stopped. Can't get myself motivated and I'm 18 lbs from my goal weight. I loved losing a size a month but have been on a 4 month stall and ready to kick start my weight loss again. Good luck and maybe you can get better motivated than I did.

Hi everyone My surgery was Dec 1 and am getting better everyday. I'm so thankful I made the decision to have the surgery and thankful for this site to find I'm not the only one who had problems. Getting a lot of good advice on this site.

WL Warrior, Thank you for the websites! I've been looking for something like that. Bariatric Pal has been a blessing to me since my surgery.

166 guess the closer to my goal, the weight slows down.

I applied for this but they didn't take Medicare or ChampVA. They won't tell you over the phone if your insurance will pay. I think they contact your insurance and they decide if they want to pay for it. Good luck!
