Hi Emily I'm almost sure you have surgery twins on the January and January/February 2018 sleeve threads, might be good to take note of them and you can share your experiences. At any rate good luck and good healing with your surgery Monday. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Bear hugs you look beautiful and confident, make me resolute to follow in your tracks. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks for posting this, I'll want to make sure I'm not sleeved and that open is permissible, my gastroenterologist just switched me to Dexilant from Prilosec, he calls D the Ferrari of GERD medicine. Does seem to be helping and has cut down on my gastritis pain. No more coffee etc but maybe a small,price to pay. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Let us know how everything goes, thinking good thoughts for you Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Welcome Terri7225, there's a thread on the bypass forum for February 2018, you might even find a surgery twin there. At any rate you're among friends we all are fighting or have fought in the diet wars and are committed to better health and a longer lifespan. Bariatric Pal is a great resource, I've learned so,much from others experiences. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Kandywolf, now that you have recommitted you need to search for a church home. You need to be in a company of believers. You are valid, God knew you were all along , you just lost sight of it for awhile. All of us here on earth are a work in progress and none of us are without failings. Build on your faith foundations, God may still have great things in store for you yet. I'll keep you in my daily prayers that you stay strong and faithful.

Everyone says keep moving and the gas will go away sooner so keep on even if it's at a fast hobble. Before long me and all the pre-surg will be joining you and you're our trail guide, you'll 'be there to say"that's how it was" to us. Keep up the good work, you're our veteran now. Now relax and try to get some good quality rest,you hear? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Every time Fluffy Chix and I read a successful,posting we sing "our day will come and we'll have everything" and it will, maybe it will be sweeter for the wait. Fluffy's gonna fly like an eagle and I'm gonna be a sleek trim cougar instead of the plump pussycat I am now. We are going to be victorious in the weight wars. We just need to be scheduled to be inscribed in the Bariatric Hall of Fame. May your post op be smooth . Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

My theory is: major surgery is a little like being in a car wreck, you're stiff,sore and,if gonna take,awhile to heal. Take things slow, if i didn't feel would be worth it I wouldn't be planning to join you on the losers bench. Be kind to yourself, the veterans I've read here say it will and I believe them you're on your way to better health. You're being tested but I believe you'll make it. You have a lot of Baribrothers and sisters sending you love. Keep us updated. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Also why do you want the surgery and what are your goals for the future. Are you able to implement the,lifestyle changes? Do you have the support of family and friends or are you going this alone? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Ever since I was a kakat kitten I've wanted a tail, preferably a fluffy Persian one. Maybe I'll tell my questioners I'm going to have my rump,reduced so they can implant it better? I expect people to tell me I'm too old for surgery, it might kill me-nope,it's gonna help me live and live,longer. This world is too,funny to abandon now, want to see what happens,next. Power to this pussycat! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Welcome home, take it slow and easy with your recovery. Remember you've got this girl. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

You might not be lifting but watch for too,many gyrations of your midsection or bending over. I've not had my Bari surgery but had gall bladder surgery in the bad old days when it wasn't laprascopuc and,went home to a toddler and a preschooler. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Nancy i had echocardiogram and scan of abdominal aorta. Although I had 1st degree relatives with cardiac issues I tested out fine, maybe I inherited the GOOD gene? Anyway she cleared me for my RnY surgery. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
