@ Nnoi it is the dawning of your REBIRTHDAY. God and Dr Rana will be performing a beautiful miracle today. And although I of course can't be there in body I will in mind be watching every portion of your operation. And our bat-bud CMD516 will be joining you on Riverside's Wall of Honor when. Dr Rana performs her later this year.
And@mercmerc, my young friend if you haven't heard anywhere else on Bariatric Pal ---I meet this Tuesday 7/17/2018 with Dr Needleman for my own presurgical. We are,in a real-life Mario Kart race, although you will be probably be the winner I will be running my race right behind you. And by the end of the month all 3 of us will be renovated, remodeled and realigned for the future and I find it as wonderfully magical as anything Disney and Pixar could come up with. And into the future we serenely will go. Smile๐ my Bari-buds --OUR DAY HAS COME! -

Thanks for sharing that Lisa K, if I need any of that done and I probably will I trust my surgeon will do a good job of it.๐

Some of the best advice I have received was from @ Rainbow Warrior, I certainly did not reject the advice because it came from a man. I figure good advice is good advice, no matter what gender is passing it out.๐

I live in a high percentage obesity county in Ohio. It is hard not say something,to,people I meet about the hopeful future they could have with Bariatrics. I want,to jump,on a soapbox and start preaching,like a street corner evangelist. It is sad to see people my age and younger with the,problems it produces but the worst are the amount of teenagers and little children I see.
6 and 8 year olds shouldn't weight 150-175 lbs yet I have seen them just this week and it breaks,my ๐ -
Well I'm sorry it wasn't you, but it worked out well. You see I got to hear your story nd it is a very nice one also even if no.pictures. We need to hear from more veterans like you out here, so don't be a stranger , you have a lot to give.

That is so good to hear, I have a $3 off coupon I got at Wal-Mart's health Fair a couple months atom Guess I might invest in some.๐

But if you were dead you wouldn't be,hanging with all us fine fine people. Doesn't take all ,the pain away,but,it might,make it feel a,little better. Do you have a heating pad or something like that to,put on it?

And if you ever need a Bari-Godmother, I am almost alway here. Like almost everyone else I Am A Work In Progress, I may start to stumble but I never fall because the people here believe in me but more important I believe in ME and I know that I will make a success of this, I'm staying to the end come H*** or High Water, I have started on this journey and I am not a quitter. Don't count me out for you can count,on me. And barring dropping dead which I could do, because,i course I'm 72, I will be here until my weight loss is done and maybe also afterwards. I am a tough old red feathered hen , farmer can't catch,me, farmer can't choke,me. If I weren't a hen I'd crow right about now!๐ฅ

And I too second that, people ask me if I fear the pain of my upcoming RnY surgery, No I do not, it will be pain with a purpose, pain that will pass, and when it lessens I will feel joy at undertaking this new facet of my,life. I am not on the degree of pain meds Mo-Less Summit is on but I have had arthritis since I was 25, 48 years ago, some days it diminishes to a dull roar but it always is there. 2 Knne replacement s and the loss of several joints withstanding I still go on for I am a bumblebee. Have you ever,heard its story? The bumblebee is aerodynamically,impossible, his little wings are too short and stubby to ever hold up his body. But nobody ever told him this so he just keeps on flying. And that is what I am like, nobody much has ever pointed out at 72 I am too old to seek surgery so i,will fly bravely towards it and in a few weeks I will be a new veteran like you. Best Wishes and Heal Safely.Frustr8

And Kevin M my angel son was your namesake, if b he hadn't died. he would now be 42
Looking at you on your Harley I can pretend for a millisecond my Kevin was alive and riding with you. And for a brief moment he is with me again. Yes I'm crying ๐ฆbut it loosens the band that has been around my ๐ the last 10,and a half. years. You would have liked my Kevin and I'm sure he would have,liked you. Thank you very much for,posting, my friend๐ช -
But it isn't your sisters body breaking down,from obesity- it's yours
It isn't your sisters joints hurting, it's yours
It isn't your sisters,lungs that like they can't,draw in another breath, it's yours.
It isn't your body which will go through this surgery
it's yours
And it isn't your sisters life that will be changed for the better
it's yours.
In the long run it isn't your sisters decision
it's yours.
........Hugs and Best Wishes, Frustr8........ -
I have quoted this before on Bariatric Pal but it is good enough for a repeat!
Laugh so hard your stomach,hurts
Sing so hard you wake the neighbors
Love as though the entire world's survival depended upon it
And you will have a wonderful life.

in the pat 5 years I have been put to sleep 6 or 7,times, at no time did it come close to the kind of "put to sleep: unwanted animals receive. Indeed it is just as relaxed as the,other posters said, be glad,we are not,back in the Dark Age of ether. Ooh you got SO SICK and you stayed that way for several days. I remember my,poor mama worrying I would tear out my tonsillectomy stitches with as many,pukings I had. And everything is so much better now. Yes you will do fine, I do believe this.๐

Yeah but if. you remember your original symptoms, your body was trying to tell you something, it was Attention Kansas Kitty, I am trying,to tell you something. Alas many of us are not fluent in body and even our doctors have it as a 2nd language, they were not born speaking it but had to learn over years. I hope that stone has gone the way of all bad gravel and will fade to only a faint memory.๐ฆ

phone transplanting words in. they are oils and fats, not films and day. You may not tolerate the fatty oil and may not for a while if ever.

Just a good guess but if it is not the sugar component it could be the penunt film You might yet be able to handle the day. Yes there is that enriched Peanut Butter type granules some add to their Protein v shakes and smoothies but it has been defatted. ๐ฏ

And Kitty although you are from Missouri your cats could be from Kansas, hence they justify your names Glad you are getting better now!

It can be done, it will be done and just watch me , I am 72 and I will succeed! My peer group maybe small but we are and shall be committed!๐๐๐

Amen to that! There many many physician- fish in the waters of New Jersey. Don't settle for bottom feeders or being treated like pond scum. You deserve the best, and than does not include being ignored.

And Lilo1 my darling child in Baiatrics, you are running your own race, not that of your sister or your Daddy, sure you will have your sucky moments, remember Bariatric Weight loss isn't like a rocket ship, more like a old jalopy, stopping, starting, occasional bursts of speed, but like the jalopy it is, if you keep control of your steering wheel, keep on the narrow freeway of weight control you will finally reach the goal line.
As for your other problem, as your body uses your fat as fuel, all kinds of fat solvable hormones get released into your bloodstream and your moods get erratic. Let me quote what a wiser lady veteran told me. Its like puberty but you don't get zits, like pregnancy but you don't get a cute baby out of it and menopause with its temprature and mood variances and lucky,lucky you, they happen all at once! And a spot of depression is not possible but probable, it is bewildering to have a new body and sometimes it is hard to take it all in. Sorrow only is here for a short while but joy, weight loss, and better health can last forever if you only,let it be. ๐ฆ๐๐
