Hi! I would consider looking into the full DS/SIPS but not RNY unless you have GERD. Discuss with an experienced surgeon 💙

You would just create one new thread, name it whatever you want and update all your personal happenings there! This would of course be different from questions posed to the entire community Or you could make a new post for every new thing as well. Totally up to you! Congratulations 💙

I have let it go for the most part i understand people are superficial. NBD However I'm just super tired of being pursued by the same people who would have before. Like I'm magically going to give them a chance because they want me! Who said I wanted them 😂 But I dont want to hijack the thread I want to hear about bringing Sexy Back

Following 💙 Cant wait to see responses But sadly for me it's false. I promise it was not my purpose. So much so that I am still physically disgusted by positive change in attention pre vs. post from others. I on the other hand thought myself to look fine either way 😂

Joking Joking Joking new day fresh start 💙

I wasnt going to ask but here we go How/how quickly did you make it past the pysch clearances?

Seeing someone is a great start Good Luck 💙

Disclaimer: I'm not a Doctor but I watched a lot of ER and House, M.D. 😂 Why not walk less or at least to the point before you swell up and are in pain. E.G. RICE therapy: Rest (or reducing daily activities), Ice, Compression (as with bandage support) and Elevation. RICE is good initial therapy for many knee conditions. As far as I know the muscles surrounding the knee can be built through exercise so continued damage is avoided but you may need to see a physical therapist Weightloss may greatly improve the condition or oddly make it worse for a while. For some reason, anatomical/structural issues become more obvious with greater weightloss. I was told by my physical therapist once that it may be because compression and insulation from weight and fat are no longer factors. But according to the Arthritis Foundation "Every pound of excess weight exerts about 4 pounds of extra pressure on the knees. So a person who is 10 pounds overweight has 40 pounds of extra pressure on his knees; if a person is 100 pounds overweight, that is 400 pounds of extra pressure on his knees" Good Luck 💙

Also I would LOVE to see threads where people who need/want revisions and don't have medical complications explain how they were able to get it done. Too often you see GERD + weight gain = revisions but not everyone develops reflux and regains. It can be either/or/none. What about the percentage of patients with no issues at all and the band/sleeve/etc just wasnt very effective on them. Or start at a very high weight with the sleeve then need to go on to the DS/SIPS. I think that could help others see that sometimes is no just about you doing everything right or wrong

Congratulations, Are you considering keeping a personal thread where you can update everything in one place? Think of it as an archive. People may one day look for/to your story as inspirational.

Mine (glue type) fell off a few weeks later in the shower & I was in no rush. If yours is gauze type try to keep everything as dry and clean as possible (field/triage medicine rules 😂)

Funny they sell these in beauty supply stores in NYC 😂😂😂😂

I feel attacked 😂

I wonder if these calculators are even accurate for our population?

Traveling... Broke the collar/neck of my favorite coat as I was walking out the door. No time to fix it so I'll be wearing the new one and see how I feel about it.

Here's my online BMR calculations, but who knows what I'm actually eating (because I can't track accurately these days , it feels like so much extra work 😥 luckily I dont feel like i need to right now since I eat the same things over and over again 😳)

💙Congratulations💙

Thanks i think i need a new scale because I never invested in a decent one 😂

I can gain 4 lbs overnight no lie but i understand the fear

Rats... Thought that might help with eating carbs again 😔

Wonderful! Join us in the linked thread ! We need tested and approved recipes 💙
