11/4-7: 4: Its hard to figure out the memory I'm most grateful for. I feel a rush of love and nostalgia thinking about everything (except Exes they can walk the plank 😝) but i guess comparing my childhood memories to when my children were very young gets me utterly misty eyed 5: Im not going to lie, Washer and Dryer. I can't really operate without them. I no laundry literally nonstop not because i have so much but because I think I'm a touch germaphobe 😳 6. Very warm days with peaceful sun rises win hands down. Colorful changing seasons are a second runner up, rainstorms at bedtime. 🙌 7. Tip top of my list: Torah. I'm a Hebrew 😍, beyond that Sci-fi, thrillers, fantasy, etc.

Sleeve revision to mini vs full bypass
GreenTealael replied to Missynik's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
No I was originally sleeved but converted to RNY But if you have the sleeve (with no complications) it was originally created to be 1/2 of the DS (and I guess now SIPS) process. RNY Is the progression to control reflux (what I had) If I had weight regain (but no reflux) with my sleeve I would have seriously considered DS/SIPS Speak with your surgeon and they will conduct testing which will ultimately make the final recommendations. Good Luck 💙 -

DS/SIPS not an option? -
Call Surgeon/ Go to ER
-
Hi! I would consider looking into the full DS/SIPS but not RNY unless you have GERD. Discuss with an experienced surgeon 💙

GreenTealael replied to New&Improved's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
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 💙 -
Can we just be for real ???
GreenTealael replied to november11's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
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 😂 -

Walking with torn meniscus/swollen knee-any other ways to cope?
GreenTealael replied to KarenLR75's topic in The Lounge
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 💙 -
Getting a Revision - but OMG NOT because of weight regain!!!!
GreenTealael replied to summerset's topic in Rants & Raves
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. -
WHEN TO REMOVE PATCHES OVER MY INCISIONS
GreenTealael replied to New&Improved's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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 😂

How Am I Doing?

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.
