I heard that after WLS your penis grows.

And if you didn't have one before, and you eat a lot of Protein, one can magically appear!

I read it on the internet.

I need to up my protein. I can barely see mine :(

I'm so glad this thread is still plugging along...

Morning my little Antipodean treasure. Thought that you weren't talking to us as you have been VERY quiet for the last couple of days. Thought you might have got the hump because we caught you out being unfaithful in your affections to Ms LipstickLady. Tsk tsk. You bounder sir.

Yep this thread is still toddling along.

I was incredibly worried about you too!!!

Where the heck is my kangaroo? I have a nice big backyard for him to play in. Can you give me approximate size of him so I can have a snappy collar made for him too? Ooooh and maybe a vest....

Please include a platypus as well. I have a pool and we would have so much fun. Again, I am prepared to pay shipping costs for all.

Or you can just deliver in person- yey!!!

Glad to see you back. Missed ya. :)

Just make sure you use the right bathroom - especially in North Carolina! ;-)

Perhaps you are a grower not a shower.

I personally have a friend that had the sleeve and started drinking sodas again. She noticed she could eat alot more and got nervous. She went to her bariatric doctor and did a barium swallow test, sure enough her sleeve was stretched to the size it was before surgery.

Ever wonder what carbonation does to our sleeved tummies? The photo on the left is a normal banana tummy, the photo on the right is a banana tummy on carbonation. It is stretched and will not return to banana size

If this is true, the surgeon who did her original surgery screwed the pooch. There shouldn't be enough fundus left to stretch, much less back to the size of the original stomach.

She should seek legal counsel.

I believe that is a photo of a stomach before sleeve surgery and then after. The stomach cannot stretch back to its original size. It's physically impossible.

Do you realize the sheer pressure it would take to stretch a stomach that has no fundus? A lot more than a few carbonation bubbles can do.

Can we just put this old wives tale to rest now? It's tiresome.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
