Brown Suga

I would talk to my doctor and be weaned off the Ambien...that's dangerous.

Congratulations!!!!! Have a fun and safe trip!!!!

May God give you, your son, family and friends continual strength, peace and grace.

I have UHC and Dr. Eagon is my surgeon. He is with BJH and sleeves at Barnes and Barnes West County. He is arguably the best in the entire St. Louis metropolitan area. Mind you: 1. He is my surgeon so I'm probably biased but have to believe this. 2: I am not scheduled until 3/21 so I have not placed my life in his hands. 3. He is the only WU/BJH surgeon and does some of the most complicated surgeries...his office is very busy! Have you tried searching posts for "Missouri" or "St. Louis"? There are quite a few of us on this board. Good-Luck!!!

Ok...Airforce men...LOL!!!

I'm so happy for you!!! My husband is a firefighter (civilian) too and was also a firefighter in the Airforce Reserves but is retired now. He has that fit, healthy....so sexy build too. 5'11'' , 205...he's 47 and still in great shape. I really enjoy reading your progress updates---being on bed rest following an Achilles' tendon surgery can be real depressing and boring!!!! Don't you just love that build? I think it's a firefighter thing! they stay in such good shape!!!! Thanks so much for your sweet comments and I appreciate your support! I hope you get better soon!!!! That must hurt! Do you have surgery scheduled yet? Yes, it is March 21. My orthopedic surgeon saw how upset I was when she told me that I would have to have my tendon surgery--on the exact day I was already scheduled for my sleeve (feb1). Her office called my Bari surgeon and they had my sleeve rescheduled before I left the appointment. I'm enjoying living through you and I hope mine is just as successful as yours!.......yes, that firefighter build is very nice indeed! My husband is supportive about the sleeve but is always hugging, pinching and up under me saying how he is going to miss my extra....yea right!

Yea....we are 1 week apart! Good Luck!

Thank-you for sharing your experience. Your updates are great and I'm so happy you are feeling well!!! I absolutely love your water bottle...do you know where your husband purchased it? Aw thanks! Glad to share! Yes, it's by Thermos called the Thermos Smart Lid and he purchased it from Amazon. It's probably carried at large sporting food stores that carry Thermos products as well!!! Thanks so much...I'm definitely ordering one!!!

What flavors do you have and have you tried them yet? I purchased the grape and passion fruit. I have tasted the grape and did not like it at all. I felt like my tongue was shriveling up...really weird so I have not tried any others.

Thank-you for sharing your experience. Your updates are great and I'm so happy you are feeling well!!! I absolutely love your water bottle...do you know where your husband purchased it?

I'm so sorry to hear this...have you checked to see if your insurance is accepted with other programs?

Hello Everyone, I'm from St. Louis and Dr. Eagon will be doing my surgery on March 21, 2016 at Barnes West.

I was originally scheduled for sleeve surgery Feb 1, 2016 but instead I had to have an Achilles' tendon and heel fracture surgery. BUMMER RIGHT? My sleeve was rescheduled for March 21,2016. 7 weeks. My surgery involves being non weight bearing for at least 6 weeks and I assume that played a role in the ultimate decision. After surgery it's important to get walking, which I cannot do right now. Thank God for the good results you have received so far!!! You are so close..be patient...

Your testimony is beautifully written and inspiring. Thank-you for your honesty and for sharing your account of past disappointments and future hopes. I hope everything is going better than good.
