I've had it, it does feel good, I didn't have the sensation everything was gonna fall,out and land on the floor, plus it did make it hurt less. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

And they got jostled around with your surgery. If it keeps on a long time or you can't stand it emotionally check with your doctoe, but I suspect you'll be just fine. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

And thanks to Mamma Redhead, cause she raised you to know emotionally you could stand on your own at that point. Somebody did something right, you sound pretty steady for someone in their 20s. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

You know Apple, Peg and Acts 238 girl, my journey path to surgery has been so bumpy and convoluted, I don't care at this point how many or how few slits I have all that much. As long as I don't whistle the piccolo solo from the Stars and Stripes Forever whenever I breath in and out, I will be ONE HAPPY CAMPER. Bruising, well it can not be worse than I had with my Tomkitten, he would not stay "engaged" in my pelvis. So nurse got up on my bed, worked him down manually from outside so OB doctor could screw electodes for,monitoring into his scalp. I had handprint bruises all over my lower belly for weeks. I wonder looking back, if I had been "normal" weight would they have just taken me to the OR and sectioned me instead of these fun and games? Ah I will never know. But give me up to a dozen portholes? Just bring them on, I'll just have extra dimples when they heal! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Baked a carrot cake for Tomkitten a couple days ago, decided a small piece might not hurt. Wrong, the symptoms I got sound so close to what I have heard dumping is like, I vow I'll never. do it again, and I'll even remember when I am post-surgery. Not only did I want to die, I almost prayed for it. Back to my calm little semi-surgical diet and won't wander off that path again. If future doctor puts me on liquid diet, protein shakes etc I will whine not, for I have seen a glimmer of the wages of dietary sin. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

And on the day you folk have your surgery April 25th I have a 2 hour psychologist appointment at Martha Morehouse Pavilion at OSU and I will be praying for your surgeries to be the start of beautiful healthy sunny days for all of you. My own? Oh so much pivots on a successful appointment for me. How do I convince someone of my worthiness? Is it sufficent to be simply myself? How do I get through this with peace in my soul and still appear mature and competent? I know I'm tying myself up in "nots", maybe all my worries are in vain. I feel a liitle like that King in the. Bible book of Daniel, I may have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Maybe I'm too intelligent for my own good! But relaxing,is so danged difficult about this! When this is passed (see I am still hopeful) I will move ahead with speed as I finished prerequirements already in another program. I suspect anywhere from a few weeks to a month? Anybody ready,for a chorus of "Our day will come" a good old 60s song? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Please honeyed life, don't leave. Many of us have abuses in our lives, mine were not as rampant as yours but I too have keloid abuse scars in my inner being. I don't trust, especially men and men of my abuser's age range least of all. Yes I know all men are not inherently evil but this was a person of trust in my community and a family member as well. I went through the threats of killing my pets, my parents and the constant reminder no one would believe me anyway. The adult me realizes how empty the threats were, the little child me could not and believed this person of trust was not lying. You are a Phoenix ,honeyed, you have risen from the ashes of a life few could survive. You are such wonderful person, your now life shines like a beacon forth for me, I need you here and so do the rest of us on Bariatric Pal. And a giant hug and let me give a big box of Kleenex for both our tears. KkN- my real initials [emoji8][emoji7][emoji7] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

@presurg1 I also am the mother of an Angel son. My son died 10 years ago also at the age of 31. When I saw your message it gave me such a jolt emotionally. I don't know what I can offer or what would be helpful to say. All I can do is offer friendship, and I do that wholeheartedly. If you ever feel like talking please remember I too have walked that path and I walk it still. God Bless you at this time. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

It would seem logical that they would, that said you are dealing with,insurance, a group of people devoted to a premise of Take Money In --'Pay No Money Out! One of the biggest flaws,in our for profit healthcare systems organization. It goes back to my more than ironic thought. You bet your insurance people you are going to die They counter you are going to live It you dowin the wager you are not still alive to enjoy,the vindication It all goes with luck,to,your heirs, otherwise the tax man gets it all!

You can also get the Vegetti at WalMart. If you can't find it in their As Seen on TV section near the registers up front then check their main houseware department. That's where they are in my local WM. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

There is hope I will still get my bypass. Psychologist appt. April 25th at O.S.U. Maybe a Dream still Comes True! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

We love you,Ms D, you're one of us! So of course we want to know how you're doing. Now heal well! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

@AshleyRN you are just grouchy because you are ouchy. As soon as you get to healing you will remember why you had.the surgery and be glad,you did. Incidently you and I must look alike,when I have my own surgery in a month or two I expect the same expression as they roll me in. Kinda like " they are rolling me through those doors, what am I letting myself in for?" Told Proud Grammy we look alike. So as you get happier and thinner remember you have a bari-sister in Ohio,following right along in your footsteps. Make each step good, I'm counting on your lead!

Does it have to be those hard chewable? I wear dentures and. I would rather not have them rock back and forth chomping. Guess that's why I was hoping for liquid or gummies. I have had Vitafusion B complex and the gummies do dissolve away. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
