    I was told to get the Flintstones with 18% Iron they are chewable and to also not take them along with the calcium citrate to take then 2 hours before or after the calcium citrate. cause they lose their absorption

    Sleep Apnea Testing?

    I had mine done at the sleep lab, and I had to go back for titration test too. I have a BiPap machine. I will tell ya, after the first test when I woke up in the morning it was wonderful I slept sooo good. I really do not use the machine as much as I should I need to get fitted for a face mask now. The nose pillows are not working like they used to

    April 2020

    I have sleep apnea, my bf said I stop breathing when I am sleeping. I joke around and say I am the poster child for this surgery. I have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol depression, anxiety and there is something else lol. One of my turning points was I am getting so sick and tried of taking so many damn pills, oh yeah plus I fell down a flight of stairs like 10 years ago and totally messed up my back. I am so over all of this lol

    That is great you have a family member that has had it done....my bf is like "it's a life threatening surgery" and I'm like ALL the health issues that I have are far more life threatening then the surgery itself...I understand that some people are freaked out by someone doing something like this but hey it my life and I want to have a much much much better 2nd half of it. I am done messing around. I have tried everything under the sun but this so my choice, my body, my mind!!!! So there lol

    April 2020

    I have been thinking about this since day 1. I have always thought about this I just didn't know that surgery was the way to go (if that makes sense lol) I knew I had to do something. I am tired of feeling like this and I am so ready to make this time count. When I first stopped smoking 1 month ago I was really stressing out about EVERYTHING and it was on my mind big time. I just know that before I know it, it will be April 7th very soon and I am not looking back. I know this is the right thing for me.

    April 2020

    Hello, I am so glad to hear April is you month. May date is the 7th of April 4 days after my 56th birthday. Happy Birthday to me...This is my gift to myself. I can not wait. I am in Michigan started the journey in May of 2019. Due to my insurance I had to go 6 months in a row with missing any appointments. on my last appointment I gained some weight so they gave me another month, to make sure I was living the bariatric life style...so I did good in November lost 11 lbs. my next goal was to stop smoking which I did (happy dance) and now I have to be 3 months smoke free, hence my date in April. I am very excited to do this I am dragging along so uncomfortably right now... let's do this!!!!!

    Could i smoke after 1 month ?

    Yes please do not start back up. I was a smoker too, I quit just 1 month ago so I could move forward and get my surgery date (which is 4/7/20) and I have no desire to go back. Get one of those app's that tracks how much money you have saved and how many cigarettes you HAVEN'T smoked it really helps me to see those numbers. My mother died from lung cancer and it's not a nice way to go. I know I would think the same thing it helps with my anxiety...but no it does not. Like someone said to me, your going though this process to better yourself and your heath. Why would you start doing something like that again? Smoking. You can do this we can be buds lol we both stopped around the same time. 🙂
