1st trip out today...had an emotional breakdown in the grocery store. Is that normal? Please tell me this goes away!

Aw, so sad to hear that you had such a hard time. Sure it's normal, a lot of hormonal issues can occur with weight loss and surgery. Cheer up! We're here for you!

(supposedly) after month she wasn't losing any weight at all..come to find out the surgeon only put incisions in her and didn't perform the operation..he was scamming the insurance company..she found out cause she was not feeling well and went to a local hospital where they did a ultra sound and saw she didn't have have a bypass done

Seriously? The surgeon would have had to be paying quite a few people under the table...

So I'm a little shaken up. Surgery is tomorrow, was on Clear Liquids today and had to drink that magnesium citrate to clear my bowels. After that I wasn't feeling well so I laid down. My 7 year old comes in screaming that the three year old was bleeding and dad couldn't get it to stop. I jumped up, realized his teeth were displaced and we rushed him to the dentist where they did emergency oral surgery to remove two teeth. It was a brutal surgery since they were still attached to the bone... Lots of blood.

Anyways, as soon as the last suture was placed, I passed smooth out in the office, came to and puked my guts up. Also my stool is bright red, but that citrate drink was red.

Do y'all think I'm ok to have surgery tomorrow?

Not that I want to doubt you, but is she a very reliable friend? It almost sounds like a story!

Well I've known her for a few years and I only heard about this since I told her about me having the surgery she was trying to discourage me from having it...I'm only 6 days post op and don't really have anyone else to talk to..and since my surgery she doesn't really talk to me anymore..if I tell her about the pain I'm in..she tells me quit whinning about it..I choose to do it..I don't know what I did its seems like I lost my best friend

Sounds to me as if she might be jelous, but I don't want to put that in your head..she's your friend and you know her so I'm not here to judge...I'm sorry she's not very supportive for you, but there are lots of great people here to offer support and advice and to cheer you on!

The hospital should supply you one if they don't, ask them for one as all hospitals carry the binders

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
