Study 2018: Sexual abuse affects bariatric surgery recovery
You know the old saying was What does not kill you merely serves to strengthen you. I would like to know how close you need to get to death for maximum strength effect? Child abuse is a game that never should have been played , all victims have scars, they just aren't visible,to people outside, it does not negate the truth of it all!?Years pass but memories still remain.

Weird muscle pain?
You know I have such much chronic body pain I can't testify to whether I have more/less pain post- surgery. Anybody like my chronic arthritis? Selling it at a price even YOU can afford! Figure I can, cause I got it for FREE!?

When I went for my surgery, I wish I brought/had......?
I took my soft stuffed Rabbit, Roux N Rabbit, she was soft to clutch when I coughed or sneezed. I didn't need any jammie, soft pants, or anything like that, I seemed to be on room arrest, thought I had my entire C Pap packed , turned out to be missing an important piece,of tubing, the respiration had nothing to match,so I was on O2 my entire stay. Oh they came in when I rand to use bedside commode because they also wouldn't take me to BR or watch me while I walked. But I must have been on similar to ICU where you are monitored from central location. Saw no other patients, heard no other patients so certainly didn't speak to others. Thought I would, took new notebook to get addresses and e-mails, it's still blank.Except for bringing me in fruity and milky drinks, I got no diet. Basically My Son did my care, kept me company and slept in a bedside chair. Never got to sit in it until last day when I took on myself to try it out. Everywhere else I had ever been , staff had me up in chair within an hour or two of returning to my room. Maybe they felt they were keeping me from being a fall risk but I felt I WAS CHEATED!

Non Plain Water Drink Choices
Do 9thers dilute protein shakes with skim or 1% milk to cut down the sticky sweetness. Had s9meone tell me also to pour small glass of milk, after each sip of protein shake take equivalent sip of milk and let your stomach sort it out. Is this an aIDK o4 merely a LOL?

Prayer! If you do not believe in prayer, do not click on this post..

Most important..
Real muscles and encourage blood vessels to dialate so healling blood can travel easier, usually over aree where pain is. Don't fall asleep with it, burns could happen 9r if you are laing on it , potential risk of fire.

Family bad-talking weightloss sugury
So wait until more things break down? So lovely a prospect, don't take HER to the doctor with you. YOU and YOU ALONE know if it is time for you, some of us put up with breakdowns, faulty inner workings and pain until the age of 72, the smart ones do it a lot sooner! And 99% say they wish they had,done,it sooner !
