Can someone help me?



Recommended Posts

So before I start, let me just say that tomorrow I am going to seek a legal counselor and ask these questions but figured i'd ask here to see if anyone has ever experienced this themselves....

I'm a single mother to a 3 year old daughter, her father is active military and is stationed in Colorado(we are in Texas & he is moving back in spring of 2014). I am currently going through my 3-month supervised diet, and i've been thinking and researching everything I possibly can about the sleeve. Now, I know death is very rare with the sleeve but there is always that possibility and I want to be sure I am prepared for the unexpected..god forbid something goes wrong, I want my mother and my daughters father to have joint custody because I know if he had sole custody he would not keep in contact with my side of the family, which would be heartbreaking for my little one.

So, who do I contact about this? or is it even possible to have it arranged? or would my ex and mother have to file joint custody themselves? Sorry for all the questions i'm just kind of lost as to where to start or what to do....

You can do a will...any lawyer can provide the information that you need for the will and can also tell you if it is legally binding. there may be a problem because he is a live. I am no expert by far but a lawyer will be able to tell you all you need to know about this situation.

I had to do something like this as well. Except my daughters father is a piece of crap! I want my father to have custody just "in-case", I did a will and a custody upon death form as well with a lawyer.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
