The nerves are killing me!!! I'm the type of person who gets sick to my stomach when I'm nervous, at this point my breathing is shallow, I'm having minor panic attacks every time I'm reminded of it. I'm ready to do this. This is a dream comin true. In my life I've always felt like "man I never win anything. Nothing ever goes my way". Well this is me winning. And this is things going God's way...I am truly blessed and thankful.

I turned 70 last August and had my bypass surgery 3/26. 1 1/2 week out and I'm feeling good, lost 20 pounds so far.

Glad all went well doll! I was so thirsty also I remember crying fOr Water. But once it came they couldn't get me to drink it

I changed my insurance to see her as well and I'm really glad I did. My previous insurance had a lot of hoop jumping and it was about to go up on cost anyway. Things shook out really well, I'm 23 days away. A little freaked out but I mentally feel pretty ready and have a great support team in my family and friends.

hey Hanna. Ngawa here. Almost 23. Had the roux en y procedure done January 13 of this yr

That's so true! Banded on March 2. ,15 and it's hard to not eat anything and the full feeling isn't the same As eating too much

I know this is an old post but this is exactly how I'm feeling right now and I'm not even close to surgry date I don't even have a surgry date yet Lol
I was the kid who jumped out of the dentist chair and ran out the front door with thier mom dentist and nurses chasing behind.
I'm ready for this but dang I wish I could control my anxiety better!

I use a script from Dr. that you get from behind the pharmacy called Eucerin. It's a thick, thick cream that goes very far. Cheap too!

My was 12/17 down 56 lb. I use coconut oil mixed in with my lotions and that has helped me with the dry skin. Keep on loosing guys.

HEY zedqueen
HAD MY BYPASS 12/24/14. I HAVE NOTICED MORE DRYNESS. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE. I PUT HALF 100% ALOE juice & HALF Water I NEVER MEASURE & IT DEPENDS ON THE BOTTLE YOU'RE USING BUT MAYBE 1/2 TEASPOON ROSEMARY, LAVENDER, FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH OIL (I HAPPEN TO HAVE THESE ON HAND I MAKE A LOT OF THINGS LOL). shake IT UP AND I SPRAY BEFORE I PUT ON LOTION. IT HAS WORKED WONDERS FOR ME. I USE IT ON MY FACE TOO. I ALSO HAVE ECZEMA ON MY FEET & HANDS. I USE THAT SPRAY & THEN USE A BLEND THESE SAMES OILS WITH JOJOBA OIL BLENDED TOGETHER JUST THE OILS. IT HAS WORKED BETTER THAN ANYTHING THE DOCTORS HAVE EVER GIVEN ME. I BUY MY ALOE juice OR GEL AT Walmart OR WALGREENS, OILS ON EBAY. HOPE THIS HELPS.
ZEDQUEEN GIRL HOW YOU DOING. I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU. I HAD MY SURGERY 12/24/14. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO POST YOUR LOST. LOVE IT YOU'D GET YOU TICKERS UP & RUNNING SO WE CAN JOIN CELEBRATING & REJOICING WITH YOU.

DENISE

Hello ladies. I'm Hanna 23 and residing in st charles mo. I am actually just staring the process myself but have two family members who have had the surgery. Would love to make some friends my age going through the same thing

I think it's more about food intake than lack of exercise. This is coming from my experience with my 9, almost 10 year old son who is around 100lbs. He plays basketball right now 3 days a week, but it's the Snacks that are his downfall. I've had to restrict them and sometimes flat out tell him no when he asks. If your son is sneaking food, remove those things that are enticing to him. My son is now getting stuff like apples, cheese sticks, grape tomatoes, carrots, etc. cheese Nips (his fave) are a sometime snack. I am trying to teach him that an hour before dinner is not the right time to snack and that he can wait.
It's hard. Really hard. I'm trying to model healthier habits as I'm sure you are as well. I was the fat kid/teenager/adult and that is not a road I want him to travel. Good luck!!

Congratulations! You look incredibly awesomely beautiful

Hey,
Congrats on the weight loss!!
I'm 3.5 weeks out now and have lost 28 pounds.
I'm not really too fussed about what rate others lose at, as everyone's different. I've never lost this much, so I'm over the moon!!
I am really emotional though - for no reason at all lol!

I just had a RNY a few days ago and I am 29. My wife had hers seven months prior to mine, and she is 26.

Hello, I am 21 and 4 days post op- it's something I had thought about for a couple of years- thought do it while I'm younger rather then wait for more complications because of my health- and I can enjoy life and the change without as many responsibility- focusing on myself- it was a huge choice but feeling confident!!

I'm almost three weeks out. It was a rough start for me in the beginning. Had an infection in 1 of my incision so I ended up going back to the emergency room a day after I was discharged. But now I am okay getting around fine. I can walk I can do regular things. It still hurts to bend over, or sneeze, and lie on my side. Hurts terribly. But it's all muscle pain. I'm hoping it's not serious

And you know what that's one thing I learned during this journey I learned that it is okay to ask for help

I started my journey july of 2008 I weighed 455 pounds and a single mother of 3. I have lost weight sparingly up untill now,in just 2 mo i lost 65 pounds and I have now lost over 200 total. Its not easy but im finding that I am changing my eating habbits without trying.

Ok ok we have to represent! I'm glad to see y'all here!!! We all have to encourage each other this is a hard process....especially with the good ole southern food we have(MemphisBBQ)! Ha

Yay! zedqueen, glad to have you back among us!! :-)

Glad you are home and feeling better!

Glad to hear you are doing much better!
