Looking for people in the Albany,NY area. I will be sleeved October 9th, by Doctor Singh at Albany Medical Center.

<p>You can get help at the Y if you are on disability. They're all about helping people get in if they want to get in. Especially if you need help. Worth checking into. I found Gold's (Vent), Best Fitness, and some others to be full of muscle heads and bimbos. I suppose it depends on what time you go. The pool at the Y is awesome.</p> <p> </p> <p>My pic update... Seven weeks out.</p> <p> </p> <div>

Woot woot!!! Work it girl! Looking good, looking good! Keep up the good work! Looking friggin fantastic!!!!!

Sorry guys. I've been super busy. Work has been crazy. I've been so tired. I am down 22lbs today, got cleared today to start real food and have no restrictions so I'm excited for that. I just really wish I had more energy.

Where is vent fitness in Latham? I go to planet fitness in Rotterdam if you ever want a gym buddy. I can bring a friend but I also work 230-11 so my schedule kind of sucks. Everyone is looking amazing tho. I'm jealous of you all! Awesome jobs!

I also found out my surgeon used a 32 French bougie might have spelt that wrong. But I guess that is the smallest it goes. So that's neat

The Vent Fitness is next to the KMart in Lathem. $9.99 a month, no start up fee, no contract so figured I would give it a shot. I've tried Planet Fitness before and surprisingly coming from a gay man I found the locker room very 'uncomfortable' and way to 'friendly'. Need I say more? I was pretty grossed out so I called it quits. Lol. Must feel good to be free with no restrictions!?! I remember when they lifted my food restrictions and I tasted normal food. It was exciting but not as much as I thought. Thought I would have missed food, but don't. Lol. Glad your doing well and great job on the weight loss! Remember to eat slow and chew really well. If your chest feels heavy, or like something is stuck tilt your head down, chin pressed against chest and just leave it there for a min or two. Keep up the great work!

What the hell is that? Is that like the incision thingy majingy? Lol. I had laprascopic robotic so mine are not noticable. What did you have Jules and BrickHouse?

Lol. Its a tube they insert into your mouth then stomach during surgery. It allows the surgeon to have a guide i guess you can say for making your new stomach. The 32 in the smallest. I had my surgery laparoscopicly. I wanted nothing to do with the robot thing. And with them removing my lap band I dont think they could have.

Also im surprised about how u felt at planet fitness. I havent been to the one you mentioned but man some of the greatest times at the gym for me was going there in Pennsylvania with my gay friends and we'd rock out on the treadmills for hrs just talking. I dont think they ever had an issue but who knows. You cant change stupid I guess

I had RNY, so no bougie. Also laproscopic.

I used to go to Planet Fitness, too. I liked it. I loved that I could grab a tan and that they had so many Arc Trainers. A family member of mine had an odd experience in the men's locker room, too. He's straight as they come, and was uncomfortable with some overly-friendly, naked guys! I used to change in the little area outside the showers. I went at a quiet time, so there wasn't a lot of activity in the locker rooms.

I have the oddest dilemma. I had an infection in one of my incisions a couple weeks after my surgery and developed a nasty abscess. I had to pack it with gauze twice a day for 2 1/2 weeks. Once it was healed inside enough, we let it close up. The other day, I noticed the last of the scab was coming off in the shower. I pulled it off with some tissue and there was a string from the gauze inside it! So I have a string sticking out of my scar! I can't pull it out. It's really in there. I suppose I should call the doctor's office about it. I swear these things only happen to me!!

Brickhouse my belly button incision started oozing a clear liquid yesterday. I think I had a pimple or something on my incision where in internal suture was starting to poke out. I freaked out but today its much better so im with ya with weirdness lol

My belly button incision got infected a few weeks after surgery and I had to go to hospital, where they put me on IV, told me about 'packing and cut it to drain it. After packing it for a couple days I realized the same thing and freaked. Gave it some time with try to pull it and I was SOL I thought. Few days later took a nice warm bubble bath and soaked, and pulled the little guy out lol.
