I'm having surgery on Aug. 20th also. Im not telling anyone. I may even have to go to the hospital alone, but it's ok. Diverticulitis surgery has a very similar recovery period to gastric sleeve surgery. No eating, heavy lifting, etc. for a while. Most people are not cleared to go back to work for approx 1-2 months. And a lot of people lose weight after the diverticulitis surgery because they are on clear liquids for approx 1 month. Good luck & prayers to you.

I had a boob job at my 2nd husband's request in April 2003 (15 years ago). (I had small B size boobs.) Honestly, it did not help our relationship at all!!! I thought it would improve our sex life, but it didn't. I was a regular size person at the time - size 12. I was the same size the entire relationship (2 1/2 years), so it wasn't a physical issue. The relationship ended about 1 year later and my boobs, big or small, had nothing to do with it. I have had several issues with the implants over the years. And I have had 2 more surgeries to correct some issues since then. I would like to have them removed but the doctor told me that I would have a lot of extra sagging skin & would need a breast lift also. I had a breast lift on one breast when the implants were done & it was SOOOOO painful! I don't want to have to go through anymore surgeries on my boobs. I will probably have them removed after my sleeve surgery & I lose some weight. Overall, they have been more problems than anything. (I am writing this now with an ice pack on one of my boobs).

Glad to hear you are not having gas pain! That is a big concern for me.

I'm very sorry to hear this but of course, it sounds like it was in your best interest for them to stop. A word about the cash payment; In 2009 I had elective surgery that I paid cash for. However it did not correct my problem. The Dr did the operation again about 1 month later and I only had to pay for the Anesthiologiest again, nothing else. I believe may be the case with you as well. My heart goes out to you.....
