    My body is big and my calfs are super small... always have been. I wish they were bigger haha! It's amazing they support me. I also have tiny ankles, weird looking connected to the top half of me lol.





    Me too! My cheerleader nickname in college was "pork chop" and a dirty old man once told me i had legs like a racehorse [emoji237][emoji20]
    I just hope after surgery all my parts match!

    I was told that VGS don't get dumping syndrome but I had a bit too much of a sugary thing and I was miserable for an hour. Nauseas, feel like I can't move, something feels really wrong, I have to lie down. Then it goes away. It's happened 3 times since my 10/10/16 surgery.

    Ive had my gallbladder removed and i experience dumping (pre vsg)...its not just exclusive to bypass folks so dont feel bad ;)

    I found very few true haters along the way. Turn the tables and imagine if you saw someone drop weight at an incredibly fast pace beyond the usual lore of 1-2 pounds per week. You would probably comment as well because our transformations are shocking. Everyday on here people post things like, "5 months out and 70 pounds gone forever!" That's not typical for most people and if no one knows you have an extra tool to attain rapid weight loss, why does this surprise you? In the end, I got my fair share of "you don't need to lose anymore" comments but it was never with any real malice, there was occasional jealously once or twice, but mostly just curiosity and true amazement at such rapid change.

    Never thought of it from that perspective. Good point!

    Can someone please tell me what a stricture is?

    "A stricture is when the new connection between the stomach and small intestine heals, but as it heals, it can forms scar tissue that can make the opening of the connection smaller. This variety of gastric bypass side effects may even progress to the patient not tolerating any solid food or liquids."

    I wasnt around for the newbie post roast...but i thought the crunchy beagle thing was hilarious and i really dont see why they arent considered kosher

    Beagles aren't Kosher because they are carnivorous. Only non carnivorous animals that chew their cud AND have cloven hooves are considered Kosher. Different rules for fish... Lobster isn't Kosher because it doesn't have scales.

    Got ya! Thanks booba
