Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum and still trying to navigate my way around the site! My name is Mary, I am 32 from Va. I have finally decided to take the plunge! My surgery date is set for March 13, 2013 !!! I have less than 4 weeks to go! I am very excited and can't wait to transform my life to a better healthier one. I have struggled with being obese since about 6 months after my first son was born back in 1998! I have been trying relentlessly to get thinner but it just seems like the weight wont budge... On top of that I have had pseudotumor cerebri (IIH) for over 4 years now and hopefully ahen I loose the weight I will loose that too!

Speaking of farting' date=' I know after surgery it's a gassy situation, but for those of you who have already had yours for a while now, is this s daily issue ?? I heard there is a pill they can give to neutralize them so they are not so stinky?? Any input on that ?? This is a scary area for me, I absolutely hate passing gas, lol..I for one wished we never had to fart or have bowel movement ever in our lives , I know goofy ain't I, lol[/quote']

girl I use to hate passing gas to but now I love it's a lifesaver. Lol

It hurts to hold it....more now then b4
