Was on my way to NWWLS when my sister and I were blinded by the sun and she hit a cement pole in the parking lot. She and I dot remember much of it happening...my head hit the windshield (old car seatbelts didn't work well) and I was taken to ER. I have some scrapes Andy knee is all bruised up. Cat scan was clean and they gave me toradol for the pain that will be coming.

I am freaking out that what if it was a sign I shouldn't have surgery lol

Anyone else freak out like that I have generalized anxiety and unfortunately that's how my brain works

I forgot to add one of the nurses in the ER had lap band surgery done by my doc and said its the best thing she has done and her daughter is being sleeved next month...

Another nurse came in and had the audacity to tell me I should exercise more and the surgery shouldn't be an option (of course she weighs about 120 soaking wet) and the other nurse with the lapband was just standing there shaking her head.

That's another reason it's giving me a panic attack

Oops. Damn big fingers.

The day my hubs and I were going to the seminar we kept getting stuck in little roads blocks that were preventing us from getting there on time. Both of us said maybe it was gods sign telling us not to get the surgery...

So yes I understand :)

I don't think it's a sign. It was poor driving conditions. I'm sorry about ur head and the nurse that weighed a buck twenty. Questioning surgery is perfectly normal. It's a major surgery. I'm sure u have given this plenty of thought. I wouldn't read anything into the car accident. I wish u the best of luck!

I had one of those moments too, and then told myself I was being silly. The reasons I decided I needed to do the surgery still exsited and I needed to trudge forward.

Glad you guys are ok!

Well, I don't really believe in signs so my brain probably would have been more "FML!!!"

Sounds like you escaped significant injuries, so just be glad it shouldn't postpone your surgery. Hey, yeah - that's it. See it as a sign that you shouln you have surgery. The sign for you shouldn't looks more like a ruptured spleen.

Lots of people with the lap-band (me included) say it's the best thing, until about 5 years later when it has to be taken out.

I am glad that u and your sis are doing fine. I don't believe its a sign but a way that God is

saying once you have your surgery you must be careful, do what the doctors tell you. And remember that this is a Tool NOT the solution. It's the beginning of the rest of your life as a

Sleever.

You will be ok, God is with you. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
