You know- I'm very proud of identifying as a conservative republican but you Cindi is what gives us a bad name. I'm embarrassed by your comment and hate that your comments and those of the like tend to group us conservatives together. Sick.

OP- hope all is going well.

Sadly' date=' attending a church makes you no more of a christian than standing in a garage makes you a car. Some people don't get what they're supposed to out of it <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> As we've seen here.[/quote']

Totally!!! At the end of the day Church does make Christians....Jesus does, and not everyone that attends church knows Jesus...

Scrolling around on here the past few months, I have rarely seen anyone have complications. This is actually really terrifying to me.... I'm glad that you are alright now! Did they ever figure out why that happened exactly?

Actually my story (posted in the story area) is very similar to the OP except my care was much worse, hence my complications were much worse. Our stories aren't that rare sadly :(

Each of us is an individual and should be treated as such. It s not fair to judge anyone on the basis of color or if they proclaim to love and believe n God. Leave the judgement for God. And Christians claim only to believe in God , we are human and do make mistakes. I was not one who was name calling but wanted to explain a bit better about what it means when you address yourself as Christian. There is a growing process involved... Newer Christians aren't in the same place as one who has been in a learning position longer ...

Please don't judge people by their BMI and try to decide if they should have the surgery or not... You don't know their story and haven't we all been judged in this way for far too long? Ok back to why we are here:)

As Susan stated yesterday, please allow this thread to get back on topic. We kindly request that all responses to anything regarding racist remarks by anyone discontinue.

I am also moving this thread to a more appropriate area, in the complications. Many can benefit from knowing all aspects surgeries like this can bring on. Good or bad.

To the OP, I am deeply sorry for your illness as a result from you surgery. I will pray you continue to heal! Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.

True that sister! And don't get me started on them colored folks. We should just ship them all back to Africa' date=' amirite? Of course, the Mexicans and blacks are just a drop in the bucket compared to the fatties! I mean, talk about bringing our country down, they just sit on the couch and eat bonbons and watch Jerry Springer all day...

Seriously, coming from a group of people (obese) who are routinely discriminated against and judged by their appearance rather than the content of their character, how can you spew such hate and bigotry? By any chance were any of your nurses Hispanic? Sometimes you reap what you sow.[/quote']

Haha!!!!! I was thinking the same thing....this person is an idiot looking to get everyone all excited...ignore this jackass!

I'm a native too' date=' and I have more than a Master's degree...so you really can't turn it around. I was not referring to the subject matter of education, rather the rest of of it. Really, learn to think, and leave me alone, because you really don't know what you are talking about.[/quote']

Yeah right!!!! Roflmao....ha!

Genuinely sorry about all your problems and I do hope you are well now.

In my opinion, this is all the more reason to stay in the United States of America when having surgery, home to some of the best doctors in the world. I would never go to Mexico, if this surgery is something you know you NEED to be happy and health and for all of us here it is, then I would find a way to pay for it, never go to Mexico. But this is just my opinion and you know what they say, opinions are like gas, everyone has it and then they just fade away. Good Luck to you

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
