Okay, I have decided that I am going to get the sleave done, now it's just a matter of time. I wanted to know if there 2as anything that you didn't realize was weight related that went away.

When I was young and dumb I skateboarded alot. I think I broke my tail bone and when I was at my heaviest my tail bone shifts and makes it uncomfortable to sit properly, or lay completely flat. I hope this goes away with the weight loss.

Any other examples of nice side effects you weren't planning on from WLS?

Hey, Cuz, my family tree positively drips Flakes from AZ. Used to go to all the Flake reunions. You possibly saw me and all my sibs (forced to) dress alike and play our little violins and sing at the reunions.....All the older generation loved it, but we kids felt socially shunned. Childhood trauma.......Anyway, I forgot I even HAD a tailbone until I lost all my weight. Now it protrudes onto my consciousness as a sore spot every time I sit slouched for long. Good luck with yours. Remind yourself to sit straight; it helps.

My back hurts way less

Crazy! I just moved up to Snowflake. Sounds like maybe you're a Reed? Small world! It must not gave been too tramatic, you still admit you're related! Thank you for the insight, I know there are a lot of people up here that get WLS done in mexico. That's my plan. How did you have yours done?

My pedigree goes back through Anna Flake. Funny thing... one year I was at the reunion and I saw Aunt Gerda in some theater for some event. She had fed me homemade ice cream sandwiches out of her freezer when I was little, so I remembered her fondly and went up to say hello. At my salutation she drew herself up starchily, and asked down her nose, "who are you?" I repeated my name, but she was not impressed. I thought a second, then said "I'm Anna's granddaughter." That did it. She beamed and enfolded me to her bosom with joy like a long-lost child. Family. Flake family. Interesting. Anyway, is your first name William? I love that repeating name. Re your question, I had my surgery through the center that was running a medical research study I was involved in in my state, so I got a bit of a break on the price. It worked well.

Nah, my first name is jordan but I do com from the William jordan flake line. Yeah the older generation is very loyal to the flakes, it has lessened alot but you can tell it's still there. Snowflake people and people who have relations there are everywhere!

The family rodeo was always the highlight of the entire year for me and my sibs. I will always be grateful for the locals who were willing to trust little city slickers like us with a horse (all by myself!) for a few minutes. Good times. Snowflake is my favorite place on earth.

I also have a broken coccyx, and it hurt more after losing weight. I recently had a nerve block done and it's much better.
