A smoker you say? I may have to invest in one. Electric or charcoal?

I have to go to the VA Hospital today for two different appointments. I hate the fact that every doctor's scale shows a heavier weight that what the VA furnished scale at home shows me.

What an ass he is. I am so sorry that it happened to you in such a bad way at such. It is his loss, not yours. Try to keep a positive attitude and remember, you should always love and believe in yourself.

I agree with that.

Congratulations to both of you. Don't let the worrying get to you. You will both do fine. For me the worrying was so much worse than the actual surgery. Please let us know how you are doing after the surgery. Oh, and WELCOME TO THE LOSER'S BENCH!

I am 9 weeks post op and I still never feel hungry or full I have to force myself to eat. From what I read it takes time for these feelings to "grow" back. I try to limit myself to 4 oz of food when I do eat.

Same thing with me. No hair loss and same amount of grey.

Good luck with the scope.

Congratulations and welcome to the LOSER'S BENCH. The time will fly by for you (I know it doesn't feel that way right now) and the weight will drop off pretty rapidly. Don't get discouraged if you hit a stall, it is all just part of the journey.

We are in a deep freeze as well. I find myself sitting at my desk at work with my coat on. My wife bought me an electric throw on black Friday and I use it every night when I sit in my recliner. I feel like I will never be warm again.

Congratulations. I can't wait to see what mine is.

My surgeon said that RNY was a no brainer due to my diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I still have the Apnea and went from 2000 mg Metformin and 70 Units Lantis and 30 Units Novolog to 250 mg Metforman twice a day. My surgery was 20 October 2016, I am off the insulin and I hope when I go back to see my primary in March 2017 that she takes me off the Metformin. I was told that I will probably always be on the CPAP machine and also my primary said she wants me back on cholesterol meds just because they can prevent heart disease. To me, if my BP, weight and diabetes is under control, why should I go back on meds that I don't need?

The day after I posted this my Team Leader went to Urgent Care and was told she had Scarlet Fever and Strep Throat.

For me I didn't really care who knew. Since I am running for a State of Michigan Veterans of Foreign Wars position I put it on my FB page. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
