Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

Right before I had my surgery a good friend of mine asked what my goal size was, and I told her a 10. The day I came home from surgery, she came over and had bought me a pair of jeans from Victoria's Secret in size 10. I remember looking at them thinking, "wow, I will never fit in these tiny things".

I wore them today

Wow! That's awesome. Good for you!

I'm praying for you! Continue to follow your Drs. Orders and I'm positive this to shall pass! Keep us updated on your progress.

Had two more TIAs yesterday....happy happy to be alive. well since I cant take baby aspirin I have to take plavix and they just found out that plavix can cause bleeding in gastric bypass patients now I don't know what to do! I know that God will get me through this and everything will be fine now thats a victory!

Omygosh! I hope that your doctors can find a suitable drug. I was on Coumadin/Warfarin blood thinners for a year following a pulmonary embolism. Once the correct dosage is figured out, it wasn't a big deal. There are some tricky dietary restrictions, but nothing compared to post RNY.

Sending lots of prayers your way. Maybe Coumadin or Lovenox? Hang in there.

Thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts.

The tests show no major stroke ( thank god) the other answer could be atypical migraines...no answer for that, unfortunately. Stroke - like symptoms. Very scary stay away from stress, avoid hypoglycemia. Don't drive, etc

thank you for the well wishes

Look into adding L-arginine to your Vitamins. Its an over the counter supplement that relaxes your blood vessels. (Dilates them) if you have high blood pressure start with 6x 1000mg capsules a day, 2 per meal.

If you have low blood pressure start with half of that. It's absolutely amazing stuff. Google it.

Sounds like a good friend who believed in you! :-)

I am 8 weeks post op. I have long hair and am trying to prepare to lose some of it. I haven't had short hair since the 3rd grade and never would have considered it pre surgery due to the round face, double chins, etc. today I got my hair cut short! It is so totally different and I love it! My mom said I am looking like a new person!
