It feels great doesn't it ?? You are amazing dear !!! -
I knew the ins and outs of the procedure as I have done it before. I just thought I was Superwoman and could handle a backpack instead of a suitcase , wow was I wrong.. they called me back last night and said to keep gauze on it do not manipulate the area and wear a compression garment on it like a binder. Heating pad and tylenol.So far,so good today. 🤞🤞🤞

Sleeve Redo. Don't wear a 35 pound backpack when you have surgery. The incision can burst Sent from my LM-G900 using BariatricPal mobile app

Beautiful person that you are, you are kind, empathetic,a libran like myself. I pray you find yourself throughout this mess of clouds we call life. You were born into this world, have your procedure,hold your shoulders back and head up. You my dear are worth it. I read your post as I am in the San Diego ,California airport for 6 hours waiting to catch my flight home. I just left Tijuana Mexico 3 hours ago. My surgery was August 18.. Keep a positive mind to get you to the other side of all of this. You will be so happy you did..Teresa

Slee e revision or gastric bypass
ttnurse replied to ttnurse's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Great idea, i weighed myself daily for the first 4 years, rarely kept a food journal. I believe honestly that would hold me accountable which is definitely what is needed. Thank you a bunch Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Hi and thanks for your response. I dont have a bariatric therapist. I have looked endlessly for a dietition with no luck. Maybe the therapist is what I need. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app -

Struggling with weight loss 3 yrs post VSG
ttnurse replied to LindaJean46's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I just want to commend you on communicating with others about the struggle as it is so real. I believe I am post op about 4 years now. I did the phentermine thing and lost 20 pounds ,that was short lived. I am on something different now called diethylpropion ER ,6 weeks so far and a measly 5 pounds down. I am hardheaded and know what I need to do. Move more than I put in my mouth as the YMCA membership isn't getting used like it should be. So again I commend you on sharing and glad I saw that I am still not the only one out there trying to make a change. And yep,don't give up. You are strong,you are important and beautiful.Cheers to you and keep that positive attitude my dear..Teresa -

ttnurse replied to LivingLight's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Really one question and then one statement..I'm feeling kinda down about the weight gain. Some say,oh it's because you're comfortable but know it's me just not taking accountability for stuffing bad things in my mouth -

Hi dear,thank you for sharing. I met my goal at 6 months post-op 2 years ago.i stayed at goal for a few weeks, goal is 150 I, yoyo to 160 and back down again. I convince myself it's ok to go up and down a bit but it scares me. I need a pouch reset I think,not sure what to do.
