      I love reading about the folks like you who've just had surgery. It's such an exciting time! You're doing great.

  2. Made it through my first major holiday with NO battle scars, so thankful... was worried that I would not enjoy myself - - had a blast & wore some really CUTE jeans I haven't fit into in 3-years!!!

      Yay for cute jeans! It's kind of exciting to get through a holiday isn't it? My first holiday after surgery was Thanksgiving and it was rough, but by Christmas I was wearing all new clothes and it was much easier. Congratulations to you on your successful 4th!

      Try the 10 Day Pouch Test. It works as a reboot.

      I was a nervous wreck before mine. Totally normal. But you've got this.

  5. I met with a cardiologist yesterday. I definitely feel better after seeing him. He believes having two major surgeries in 8 months has played a huge role. My passing out, dizziness and low heart rate is being caused by 3 things: surgeons using steroids during and after spine surgery has caused my adrenal system to be out of whack which is causing my body to take longer to acclimate to positional changes, dehydration from the ability to swallow much for the last 4 weeks and the nerve in my cervical spine that was impacted and controls heart rate is irritate. He said it is like a perfect storm. An endocrinologist can help me with the adrenal gland issue. Of course Imy throat is getting better making hydration a bit easier and I just have to give that nerve some time to heal. My heart looks very health! Thanks for all the well wishes!

      So glad to hear that you have a healthy heart and a plan to feel better.

  6. Nervous today. I meet with a cardiologist to see why my heart rate is so low and I keep feeling dizzy/lightheade. I passed out a week ago. All of this following major spine surgery. Off all medications and it is still happening. I hope they don't find anything too scary but need answers. Wish me luck!

      I just thought I would mention. I was dizzy a lot my first year after surgery and every time it happened I upped my water intake and felt better. Have you and your doctor ruled out dehydration as a cause?

  11. I have a question for the ladies? what types of birth control can you use after WLS? I currently use IMPLANON, and I was wondering if I have to take it out before surgery?

    1. lmb012182

      lmb012182

      I have done the pill and the depo shots but never anything like implanon, I would consult with your doctor.

      At work. It's getting to be that time of year that everyone turns the AC to deep freeze. For example today it is supposed to be around 96 degrees outside but I am wearing a jacket over my shirt so that I don't freeze.

  17. Got started with Match.com and Plenty of Fish. This is hard, why didn't I do it when I was younger?

      It's not that fun at any age in my experience. When I used various sites, I would meeting cool, interesting guys... who almost always were either married or in a relationship. It was a bummer. Best of luck, I know it works for some people and hopefully you'll have better luck than I did :D
