They don't know the struggle of having 100 plus extra pounds on them. Well wishes to you as well, and keep us posted!! Yes I agree...keep quiet...I have some big mouth ignorant cousins as well and as far as work is concerned.I told them I have a hiatal hernia which I do have and that's it!!!!!!! It's not anyone's business...my parent and my aunt knows...Only reason she was told is because she lives with my parents and I...and yeah she was told...to shut up about it!!!! No opinions or comments needed or wanted.....at all.My business's and my life....I am in control.
  11. It's because of that lapband!!!!It messes you up.I am 5 days post revision.The most pain I am feeling is because of the incredibly hard time the surgeon had removing my band.....The DS is a very complex surgery and way more results driven than the sleeve so consider yourself better off....

I can't even wear a bra ...every incision hurts.My stomach is so puffy and sore and discolored.I am currently lounging in my adjustable temperpedic bed watching SVU reruns.I am in a lot of pain to say the least. Look at my stomach!!!!!!! Revision surgery all in one is tougher than any other procedure.
