So @Wishful Dreamer---, did you get an early September date and if so.'--'when is it? I am a September 5th at,,7AM EDT.

And a day and 3/4 I finally,will have my surgery. You have been with,me since my few starting attempts last winter and Now,it Finally 🎁is happening. And Happy Happy Joy Joy is mine!😜👍😜

And Laura it is only,1 day and 18 hours until,my,own surgery, then I will join you.Shelley,and all the rest in the Victory Longue sitting on one of the Losers Benchs and good news , I lost weight before,i lost my,mind, it was neck''and-neck for awhile. Lost over 15 pounds in August alone thanks to the liver-shrinking diet.

And my humble prenatal vitamin,yeah the one ever body laughs when,at 72 I take a,💊prenatal,vitamin. EXCEPT for 2 needful things, one at 67% the other at 71% it met requirements. As long as I continue with my liquid calcium citrate, I am setting pretty. Who woulda thunk? 😜

In less than 2 days I all,Ihave,my answe won't I? Maybe surgeon will start making them our height, Excuse me Dr Needleman, may I have one of those 68.5 inch models? Don't have that size? Well give me,one from the🏫 Used Intestine lot over yonder!

Any more "50 and over" on this Fine Labor Day?

Hey @ Shells83 ! How is Labor Day going for YOU? Are you feeling better than last week? A day,and a half until my surgery. ITS THE FINAL COUNTDOWN For Moi!😜💓😜

And WHO has the Labor Day Annoyance trophy 🏆for 2018?

so how many out there are still,FLINTSTONE KIDS?

So,in my backwoods ,almost no big-box store area I am limited to,Protein 2 0. Oh well it does taste pretty good!

Green Tealael , you think you've met and heard every excuse? Met someone the other day , in conversation the subject of WLS came up. You,know , at this,point mine is no secret. Other person says " I am having,a lap-band and i,guessYOU know why!" No, I said, I don't know your reasoning, please tell me. Well dear I don't have time for anything else. Hnnnh?😧 well,, lapband. like every other WLS is merely a tool,not a final solution. Guess who I don't think will have optimal success!

Less than 48 hours, my BARI buds. YLime did you add,@karyn2018 to, Wedneday with,me, we are up to,lose to a dozen at this point. Only,1 or 2 more RNY, the majority VSG. OXOXO, Frustr8

And I am on Dexilant, the Ferrari,of PPI, this Wednesday, September 5th, yes less than 48 hours away, Estimated Surgery Time 7 AM, EDT. Although many have only,a short PPI course post their surgery, mine will continue as i,have gastritis, GERD. and Hector my,teeny little Gastric Ulcer. Will by RNY abolish,or merely diminsh my symptoms? The jury was mot rendered its verdict,yet.,Nut I shall hope until all hope is gone.😜

And to state although mot bragging,since Mike#336 stated hi , I'll state mine lifetime HW 355 pounds Oct 2017 CW and PROBABLE SW 307.5 SD September 5th 2018 First GW 299 Second GW199 Final GW 175 or 15 Junior Surgeon WLW 160 BMI table,140. Height5ft8.5 in Age 72 years. DOB December26 1945 duration here On Bariatric Pal Dec2017-???

And they also could be pancreatitis, my symptoms were quite similar but they included dry heaving. Medical literature states the worst pain (save metastatic cancer which,is a Brand New Ballgame!) is Kidney Stone Colic, well pancreatic pain is 100th of a % point less. I believe my REBIRTHDAY Bariatric. PostPain will be "a pleasant stroll on Sunday afternoon in the Park" in comparison,😜👍😜

Some are not right, I am not Obese because I am Lazy, Uncaring or Have never tried. At my weight I have walked until my ankles weakened, my dependant edema flared again, I have tried running until I was out of breath, have even subluxed joints trying to,love weights as I have mild-to- moderate case of Ehlors-Danlos a connective tissue disease, Evan if I reduce my weight, which my upcoming RnY on Wednesday September 5th will assist, that will always be,present. My arthritis and breath shortness will diminish but I will still,retain joint deformities, lungs that will never be 100%, I will still retain my slight cardiac deformity but it should not progress further. My 2 artificial knees will not regenerate, the calluses and slight deformities from past fractures will still be there. But guess what, the quality of my,life WILL IMPROVE, although my personal chassis will retain dings , deformities and missing paint, with minimal chug-chug it will still serve to get,my where I am going. And I am grateful for Bariatric Surgery , it keeps me from being smashed into a cube of metal in a Trash Compactor and this Little Engine that Could can keep going on her merry way. And if my headlights shining light someone else's way, what a Wonderful Thing that shall be!

No but as a former,HEALTH Care participant, we are seldom phased but we are amazed at the fact,i we are made in a Creator's Image he must be diverse looking. We may chuckle, but to,a man or woman, we cherish our patients and are humbled by the opportunity to engage in their care and make their lives a little better., I once had a patient who while not feeling very well Said. "I must still matter to someone in this world for You are still caring for Me!" Yep even strong doctors and. nursescry when they are alone even if we act,professional while on duty! Under those strong shells lurks a human💓 heart.

No Updates as Yet but trusting Our God holds her in the palms of his Very Strong Hands! May we All Continue to,Pay for Prayer Avails Much!

And may the buoyancy be with you,@ mercmerc!👙

And to the Medical😷 Staff,a whole lot more fun than watching👀 magicians pull rabbits🐰out of a Hat!🎩

My dear, it is a more than equal ,certanity you will not be,bothered**** as a still obese. single person it is VERY UNLIKELY I would. be attracted to a smirking self-righteous dude that feels obesity,is a communicable,disease,that might reinfest,him due to,faulty vaccination. And when I finish my weight loss I still WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED for frankly,, my,Dear, I CAN DO MUCH BETTER!

And a FYI. followup pertaining one of the above posters. @JohnGraySmiley. recently,became the proud and grateful mother of a beautiful baby girl Grace. Bariatric Surgery helped to make the mother healthier and this ensured an favorable childbirth outcome.

THIS IS A TRUTH. PERTAINING HEALTH ALWAY LOVE YOU MORE THAN OTHERS! We are granted only granted one body a lifetime. Seldom is a complimentary,Owners Manual given. It behooves us to keep ourselves a sleek race car instead of a junky jalopy No gaurentee as to the smoothness, straightness., difficulty or,length of the road we,must,travel before our death. So BE KIND , BE LOVING, DO PROPER MAINTAINANCE,ON THE BODY YOU ARE GIVEN FOR YOU SHALL NEVER BR GRANTED ANOTHER!

Does the fact I will be turning into a Kangaroo ( because Bypassers now have a pouch) on September 5th mean I will hit my final,goal faster than my Bananrama (VSG) sisters and brothers? I do know the % of final goal is slightly,higher for RNY,than VSG but is timing still an individual thing?😧,
