I had my surgery in August of 2016 and after reading another blog I thought best to get a medical I'd Bracelet. God forbid I am ever in an accident and not alert at least they would know about my surgery. Just like if you were diabetic or had a heart condition you would wear one. I feel better safe then sorry.
I got mine from RoadID. Look under gastric sleeve surgery ID bracelets.

January 28th seems to be the best day as long as we are not going to get a blizzard or another 8 inches of snow we can meet around 2. Since, we have met the last two times in Suffolk County how about someplace in Nassau Counry this time? If anyone has ideas of places to meet in Nassau let the group know.
I am happy to say that I am 2 pounds away from being under 200 pounds in over 10 yrs. I am so happy I finally decided to do the surgery. I purchased a dress in size 16 for my nieces Baptism this coming Saturday from being a size 22/24. I actually have curves again:)
Look forward to seeing everyone on the 28th and hearing how everyone is doing that recently had the surgery.
Have a great week!!!!

Jack, I am so sorry to hear about your postponement..This is just a small step backwards for the giant leap forward you will be taking soon. Try not to let this get to you. Remember all the hard work you have done up to this point to prepare for your journey. I will keep you in my prayers that everything works out for you on Monday and you get a new surgery date quickly. We are all here to support each other and if you need to vent please do. Laney

Congrats Jack on your first 12 days post op. I am 3 months out and doing well. Looking forward to seeing everyone again on the 17rh.

My Dr put me on stool softener day after surgery. I take 2 a day and I have to say they helped. You do not want to strain. My first BM after surgery was a killer, but once I started with the stool softener it became better. (TMI) sorry

I had the same experience with a friend. Saying you can do it on your own. You are not that heavy. Just be happy with who you are. I am happy and I am a good person but my heaviest was 291. I am now experiencing health issues that is why after 2 yrs I decided to do the surgery. I learned not to say anything to anyone else but family after all her comments. Unless, you are walking in our shoes people do not understand, but feel they have a right to make hurtful comments.
I congratulate all of us for becoming a healthier you!!!!!

I am 2 months post op and had no pain or issues from day one. I also thought something was wrong, but my surgeon said just follow my orders and you will do fine. I do follow the plan exactly and that has helped me be totally honest on my food logs my Dr requires us to do. I was able to walk every hour the first two weeks increasing it every few days and that helped me feel good. You are doing fine
