  1. I used Bariatric Advantage and would use a pill crusher and turn them to dust.You could try taking a little at a time.Im not sure if it’s acceptable but maybe crush them and put them in some water.I hope you get relief soon.
  2. Glad everything went well!Please keep us posted on your wellbeing.If you have any questions or need to talk feel free to ask.
  3. So I’m considering going to the BariatricPal hospital as an option for skin reduction.If you have been there which surgeon would you recommend and why?My biggest fear is reading about people saying they are having surgery in Mexico and getting tramadol for pain?I have a friend that had skin reduction in America and she the recovery was quite painful.I mean the savings are nice having it done in Mexico,but if going to be hurting like hell its not worth it to me.Also why is the surgery cheaper in Mexico.Also it looks like they do buttlifts but it’s Brazilian.No offense ladies believe me it looks great on you,but I’m afraid on me I would be sending the wrong signal ?If anyone can shed some light on this I would be most appreciative.
  4. I have only found these forums about two days ago.I haven’t really had a chance to get to know people yet.I just wanted to say thank you to the people that have talked to me.This seems like a really uplifting place,and I really hope to get to know you better.
  5. It’s beautiful
  6. I heard it’s very hard to get insurance to cover it.The skin bothers my thighs.I will have to look into it though.
  7. So my weight is stable and my next step is skin reduction.I don’t think insurance is going to cover it so I guess i’ll Be paying out of pocket.Also if any of you had any work done at transformations at UW Madison Wisconsin please tell me what to expect there.So here are my questions. 1.Can I get my whole body done in one surgery? 2.I heard the pain after surgery and healing time is a great deal more than a bypass. 3.Has anyone had it done in Mexico or outside the USA? 4.What are the most important things I need to know or ask about? 5.What does the cost generally run for full body? 6.How long did it take for you to return to work? 7.How do you feel now? I’ve got one shot at this so I want to do it right.If there’s anything that I haven’t asked that I should know please tell me.Thank you in advance.
  8. The same exact reactions I got ... I also lost lots of friends. Lots of salty people! My own damn family .... but guess what??? When I post the new pictures on Instagram- the crowd went WILD. At least all the people who are happy for me, did... they can stay fat. It was the hardest and best decision of my life. Haters gonna hate!Good job
  9. Thanks.I’m going too.I’m just worried about what his future will look like if I lose.I love him so much.
  10. Yes we were both heavy.Since we’ve been married she put on 100+ pounds.I never had an issue with her weight till it affected her health.I just wanted her to feel good like me.I wanted her to live so she could be here for our son,and so we could grow old together.
  11. Thank you.My dad was remarried 4 times.I wanted to get married and be together forever because I know how badly his divorces hurt me.I promised my son when he was born that his mom and I will be together forever.I feel like I have failed him.I honestly don’t know what else to do.
  12. Thank you.I’m doing my best to stay positive.I’m from Alabama originally so I have no family up here.I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to uplift me!
  13. I’ve been hurt a lot in life.Physically,sexually,emotionally.She hurt me worse than anything that has happened to me.For the longest time my son called me George not dad,I always thought it was cute.I found out from someone that she would tell my son not to call me dad,to call me George.On that day what was left of my heart shattered into pieces.They also overheard her badmouthing me to her dad,and blamed me for our financial problemsI worked over 700 hours of overtime that year believing that I was helping my family.I wasn’t even able to buy my vitamins for a year and a half.I just got back on them last week.I hurt so bad inside because the woman I used to love pretty much didn’t care that I was sick or hurting.She has taken me to depths of sorrow I have never experienced.But she destroyed me when she told my son that.
  14. Thank you for being so kind.It really means the world to me.
  15. Believe it or not after my bypass the pain meds made me have no BM for almost a week.Take stool softer and drink as much water as you can!You got this.
  16. Congrats!When you feel up to it tell us how you’re doing.
  17. I did try and encourage her to have surgery so she could feel good like me,then I found out she told her family that I was trying to force her to have surgery.We are trying counseling but I keep getting lied to.Even when I have evidence she still denies it?I’m sad because you hear women say they want a good guy but in my experience I just get walked on.People tell me I’m too nice.I just wished that someone that claims to love me wouldn’t do this to me and our child?
  18. Update she was gone today so I checked her computer and she spent more money on the game!F@@k it I’m done!
  19. Star Wars MMORPG.It makes me puke when I see her playing it!
  20. Yes I had to do a liquid diet for 2 weeks.I stuck to it exactly and lost 40 pounds in 2 weeks.Its imperative to do it because that area will be where the surgery will happen.The liquid diet was difficult the first week,but then it was a breeze.
  21. You should definitely stick with your team.I did for my evaluation.I was approved for surgery 1st try
  22. So I weighed 380 and my wife is like 300 pounds.Now i’m 167 pounds.She really wasn’t supportive of my surgery.She was making comments about me calling me skin and bones man.She also bankrupted our family spending over 5000 dollars on a video game because I lost weight.She has no interest in me emotionally or physically.I am only posting a pic to get honest feedback.Believe me I can handle it.She has made me feel like I’m very unattractive even though I think I look ok.I have decided to divorce her because I can’t take getting crapped on anymore?I don’t regret my surgery even though I’m getting divorced.I hate to say it but she really made makes questions if I am hideous now.I can handle blunt truth.Have any of you had issues after a bypass too or other weight loss tool?
  23. Tracy all I can tell you is the world has a lot of miserable people in it.Surgery is a last resort for some people,it’s literally life saving.Can you imagine if someone said to a diabetic “Can’t you just keep your sugar in check without insulin?”What if someone was in a wheelchair and you said if you tried you could walk?.I hate to tell you this but some people don’t want you to be confident,happy,or successful.They hate life and the fact that you might feel worse off makes them feel better about themselves,it actually scares them that they might become the most miserable or that you will be getting all the attention!YOU DO THIS FOR YOU AND SCREW THEM IF THEY DON’T SUPPORT OR UNDERSTAND YOU!You deserve to be happy,confident,healthy.Peoples true colors always shine through and I believe through your journey you will learn who your true friends are.
