I'm sorry Gagsy but if it were me I'd still be scared; you're the first one I've heard of with this. Know they do load you up with blood thinners but I'd be afraid some things are coming loose inside.

I've had a c pap machine for about 6 weeks; things were fine in the beginning but I find myself rebelling against it and on a couple nights took it off,in the middle of the night. It probably doesn't help that I've got a head cold right now. Help.

You can contact Wood County Hospital in Bowling Green. That is where I’m having my surgery next week (through insurance though) but I know they are good about working with people.

God, wouldn't that be great?

I know that feeling! I had my gallbladder removed about two weeks ago and I asked the surgeon about when I could go back to the gym so many times that he just told me I would end up with a hernia if I went sooner than four weeks.
I rested for one week, cleaned up the entire house on the second week and then I went to the gym. I did not do any abdominal exercises or weight lifting. I went on the elliptical and walked on the treadmill. Don’t push it and listen to your body. If you fall from the elliptical because you are not able to consume the calories and you just worked out or you are dehydrated, you are in trouble. If I were you, I would walk a lot. Or even if you do go to the gym, take it very very easy.
I have four similar incisions from my gallbladder surgery as I had for the gastric sleeve and I did the same thing for when I had that surgery. No weight lifting what so ever unless you want to to prolong your healing process and be bed bound for even longer!

Hey FluffyChix, thanks!! Yeah I am buding muscle.. thus no so much of weight loss, but getring there.. gracias 😜

A wise thought; No food is economical if the family won't eat it. I would make something I thought sounded good, nobody else would eat it so instead having the guts to throw it out it went into my gut instead. Pretty soon you're not just fluffy, you flat out FAT. I tried telling people I came from winter surviving group until someone pointed out I'm not a bear and didn't need hibernation weight. My joke was: they told me to watch my weight, now it's out where I can see it, but inside I was crying. I will cry no more for surgery date approaches and I will have a tool to change my life, I can start living instead one day closer to dying and when it does happen (praise God) I can have regular pallbears instead of being put on a flatbed truck with a crane. Life is tedious in my present body and I'm weary,of it. Don't crave sweets (maybe body is getting with the program?) what I want is steamed veggies and easy to swallow Protein like fish or cottage cheese, maybe tuna. And I feel full after a few bites, EGD showed a very small gastric ulcer, could that expl ain it? I have a gastrenterologist appointment(follow up to EGD) tomorrow hopefully I'll have more news then. He put me on Prilosec a month ago, don't know if it's helping or not, I'm not without pain, not so much hunger as griping? And the sensation comes back within 1-1.5 hours. Fluffy Chix send,me good thoughts Monday, this scares me more than surgery.

Didn't know that about the yellow color, that's what I always get except once I got light green , once gray and once tan. Wonder what they all mean?

Maybe soon you'll be a smooth and sleeker dork, a proud aspen instead of a redwood tree stump, keep on fighting the good fight my friend.

I have had 2 knee replacements due to wearing out with my weight. Don't want the,hips to be next plus I'm tired of being slow moving and out of breath. And the,list goes on but soon I'll turn my life around with the help of surgery. If an old chick like me can do this journey you young'end should be a cinch. Happy New Year and much success everyone.

Beach towel/bath sheet to regular towel and not hearing "the impossible dream" Ooh I can see it. I'm a 24-26, looking forward to breaking the 20-barrier, that's my first mini goal on my trek.

FWIW, I am over 50 and the weight does start to add health concerns over time. For me, its osteoarthritis in my knees and hips, severe sleep apnea, high BP, high CH. Add menopause, because it exacerbates weight gain. And I'm pre-pre-diabetic. So....consider going to a seminar and starting the process -- nobody says you have to have the surgery in the end, a fair number of people on this board drop out before they cross the finish line. As part of the process, my PCP and FOUR specialists think its a great idea for me. Best wishes to you!

Think yourself thin- that's like concentrate and you'll stop hemorrhaging- just don't work that way.
