I just realized that this challenge is forcing me to live my best life 😁 I'm drinking from my favorite coffee cup, wearing sunnies, doing arm circles & trying to find a way to get a campfire photo (knowing I don't have any upcoming plans to for camping) Anyone else feel this way?

Considering my journey so far, I had quite a few dramatic moments (hope I've hid them well)... The most dramatic moment was during pre surgery - prepping my Green Binder, where all the instructions of how to handle my legacy were placed (from funeral prep to future weddings of my children) Sooooo dramatic, yes but I thought it was on tempo then. What was your most dramatic moment during this journey? It doesn't have to be serious, it can be comical too.

Yes I'm still in disbelief and waiting for something to halt the process but so far... It's going off without a hitch 😒

No one ever cares about FREE Boiled Chicken Day 😂😂😂

The phrases that strikes fear in the heart of all bariatric folks: OUT. OF. ORDER CLOSED. FOR. MAINTENANCE. NO. PUBLIC. RESTROOMS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 FREE. DONUT. DAY.

I remember driving about 5 days after surgery out of necessity (It was a very short distance about 5 -10mins) I did not enjoy it. I drove an SUV & had a tough time getting in and out. I guess it depends on a number of factors but definitely ask your Team and go with your gut.

💜💜💜💜Thank you sooo much !!!!💜💜💜💜

Oh man! Prayers up ! Get well soon 💜

I'm certain that I will have many many many more dramatic moments to come now that my impending RNY conversion surgery is just a few days away but here's the latest: +Buying personalized engraved name bracelets/necklaces for each of my children (with the correct spelling of their names on them) before surgery not so they can be stylish Kings & Queens of 1995 😂 but just in case someone thought they were gonna try to abduct my youths, I (or anyone) would know at least one thing they are always wearing... #thankslifetime +Actively going to the bank just to create a Totten trust to leave my shekels to my children 😞😒 I really need to stop Adulting for this week 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Goodness gracious reviving this thread...

Go for it and let us all know l how it turned out!!!

🔼🔼🔼🔼 Everyone is spot on 🔼🔼🔼🔼 Additional things to consider: Who exactly is saying it's a waste of time? What evidence is provided? (You can't get positive feed back from negative/biased sources) Why are you worried you chose the wrong surgery? (Complications can happen with any surgery, some cannot be avoided despite the best preparations) A conversion conversation is best between you and your surgeon. IMHO It should also be medically necessary not fear based since you are only 2 weeks post op. Get Well Soon & Good luck 💜

Don't forget : Protein intake, Greenhouse gas emissions, whaling industry,number of current political candidates × 3.14, tears cried per child ÷ children on earth, red tide, free donuts in the office, late night pharmacy trips, migration patterns of caribou, perfume sample sprayers, pay equality demonstrations, Retrograde motion of Mars and most of all final release date of John Wick 4 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

💜Welcome Back💜

I would suggest meeting with a few Bariatric Surgical teams and discussing the lapband. They are not widely performed anymore because of migration, erosion, herniation and slippage issues. They are mostly removed these days. You can also work with dieticians and endocrinologist to get your weight under control. Good luck 💜
