  1. Be Careful that your Electrolytes don't get screwy, Sodium Bicarb is not necessarily a real good choice. Does your surgeon know and permit this? My cousin ate so much Sodium Bicarb that he kept Arm and Hammer in business all on his own. Turns out it wasn't Simple GERD back then in the 1990s, he had Cardiac Disease undiagnosed until then. Luckily there were things that could be done, died last year at 85.
  2. And I am still the Zofran Kid at over 8 months out, cry on my virtual shoulder if you need to. I talk a lot here but I listen even better!
  3. And search among the plant based and soy based, you may be. intolerant of whey, be lactase deficent, your Bariatric Team and Surgeon can help, don't throw the towel in just yet for I know an answer can be found!
  4. Things to Remove From Your Life Putting Yourself Down Trying to please every one Else Fear Its Now Time to believe in You, You have not travelled this far to become a Failure but to be the Success God created You For!
  5. All the interventions they can to keep it from turning into Esophageal Cancer. You certainly are at risk JDUDA, my 1st cousin June-Ellen died of that a couple years ago on the "table" at the Cleveland Clinic, firmed my resolve to complete my RNY. But Oh My I do still miss her so much, her death was a warning that I should live, but I wish I had her here to be proud of me TODAY?
  6. Fear will not prevent those, now that they know of such things in your family history they will do all they can to make sure YOU do not join THEM. Have faith? that you have not made it this far to fail!❤and Prayers and a Big Hug Today!
  7. And a very happy Surgery Eve to you @jaytissle55. May tomorrow dawn beautifully and may your surgery go smoothly?in every way.

  10. isn't it kind of ironic so how this all happens to play out? I think I might have facial amnesia, I forget that's me in the mirror. Read somewhere on here that it takes 18 months to fully recover, THAT'S WHAT IS WRONG- I'm just looking SICK! Well that's my story, might as well stick with That Line!
  11. Yeah I know just exactly what you are going through. How is your iron levels? A couple times I have complainee and my blood tests show I am anemic enough to require an Iron INFUSION.
  12. May you be Smooth and uneventful from,now on#?❤?
  13. Well it is a concentrated sugar solution, I would see if your surgeon would grant you dispensation for it, know it did help pre-surgery. Post-surgery since I am a RNY, I'm too scared of causing my first "dumping".
  14. At my hospital before they do EGD and in my case EGJ, they come to the waiting room, ask each person waiting there are you Mr Smith or Mrs Jones or Ms Johnson's Designated Driver and you have to also tell them your cell phone #, then and only then do they proceed with the Endoscopies. Must have had something bad happen back in the past to act that way. My son said "I am Frustr8's son, my cell phone is xxx-xxxx, although I am not her driver this is our driver sitting next to me. That particular day it was my girl friend Kay. And it was all Good.
  15. And a heartfelt ?for your answer there!
  16. Be very careful but get a clean bill of health. The bad thing is a lot of minor health blips are surfacing for me, Thyroid nodules, renal cysts, an thoracic aorta aneurysm, sleep apnea a rotator cuff in both shoulders, right one repaired, left one probably when 1st one heals, finally got confirmation I am on the high end of the autism spectrum. The good part is: most of these are in early stages so can be controlled. So I am grateful I have seen enough specialists that these things were all found. But I at times feel like the diagram from my cookbook of a beef cow with all the different cuts marked, I begin to feel like they may also be tatooing their favorite parts for future reference. And yes basically my Health is much better!
  17. And I guess surgeon's do what they are most comfortable with. I believe Blossom Bariatrics in Nevada only does VSG, they must not care to do RNY after all.
  18. could still be a reaction to your sedations and anesthesia. Hopefully it will pass!
  19. Yeah the Shadow is always there for the Shadow Knows you may weaken and return!
  20. Oh we all are, ?can become such an effort!
  21. Tape measure out- stretched out sweats Bye Bye- sounds like a Good Game plan for TODAY!
  22. Sounds kind of spacey on the surface, that was one of the evil slider things that was my pre-surgery downfalls. Breyers made few flavors I DIDN'T LIKE!
  23. And I wonder this far into 2019 if anyone is still following their resolutions? I do well for a while, really plan to keep up keeping up, but I guess I'm more human than I like to admit. Things seem to fall by the wayside!
  24. Thanks Darling, and I hope your May is going well too for You❤!
  25. Might be something to check into!
