BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don't know why these threads make me giggle like a 6 year old calling someone poopyhead but damn, I can't resist!

Just a Drop discount info

There is a little history here. DS is a WLS type, it is kinda like extreme malabsorption and it makes your poop and farts so bad people could faint. I mean it's HORRIBLE! This is something DSers battle all the time. It's so bad if they fart the stench clings to their clothing. Others complain openly in public restrooms. I'm telling you, it's extreme. They are forever having to keep Fabreeze and specialized products with them 24/7. One bariatric surgeon was telling another person about a patient where he was removing her gallbladder. She farted while under anesthesia and they were gagging in the OR and since it was the middle of surgery, he couldn't leave the room. The gallbladder patient had DS.

He went on to say that if a DSer farted in an elevator, when the doors opened people wouldn't be rushing out of the elevator, they'd be dead.

There are WLS type wars on OH all the time. Bandsters tease DSers for stinking and they tease us for barfing. They are forever insisting they don't stink yet they keep companies like this in productive business! HA

This thread just cracked me up, I've been laughing since I read it. I just can't imagine my husband wanting me to buy EXTREME odor eaters for the bathroom and clothing. I can't fathom this conversation in my home!

It's not funny that DS patients stink so bad, it's not. But if you saw the horrific things they say about us, referring to our bands as laugh-bands, choke chains, if you saw how they degrade and insult banded people for being banded, maybe you would understand my childish laughter going on right now.

If DS patients eat carbs that is when it is apparently the worst. One piece of cake and they get instant gas and clear a building. Yeah, I'll take my choke chain any 'ol day over farts that are lethal and a stench following me each place I go.

I met a guy on match.com . I was really impressed that he contacted me since I didn't have a picture posted. I said my town is too small to have my picture plastered on the internet.

He is a long distance runner. He has a great bod. I was nervous to tell him about the band. He said he was impressed that I cared enough about my health to have it done.

The best part is WASa- His son lives in Chandler! We have been together every day since we met. I think this is the LTR I have been looking for and was too afraid to look for when I was FAT!

Sorry to hijack the thread. I am sure once the newness wears off, he won't be over here every day.

Wow Denise, that is great! I'm happy for you and your new hot bod BF. A good man is hard to find, so if he is the guy, hold onto him!!

lol @ this thread going from stinky poop to boyfriends :smile2:

You never know where threads in R&R may end up!

In my experience, men and stinky poop go hand in hand.

I plan on doing exactly that. I have been alone along time and from what I can tell, he is exactly who I have been looking for.

I have not been banded yet....tomorrow is my big day! Is there something I should know about?? what is DS? Should I expect to start having problems with gas? Should I warn my family and buy them gas masks? Please Reply:confused:

So true!! :cursing:

I use baby wipes to take off make up. Does anyone know what's good to take off eye makeup? I have been wearing makeup since I met the new BF

I get these cheap makeup remover moist towlette things from Dollar General. They work well too, and cheap. :cursing:

nancie,

DS is a duodenal switch. Different type of WLS altogether. They have major problems with stinky gas and bowel movements and yet they tend to think their shit don't stink and all other types of WLS suck and we do too for doing something different! It's crazy!

You will have gas pains after surgery but that is from the surgery itself. Walk a lot the first few days and that should take care of most of it. After that, gas is just like before surgery, relative to what you're eating and what your system produces.

Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow!

Oh! And as for eye make-up remover - Mary Kay makes a great Oil Free Eye Make-up Remover. It's like $14 for a bottle but lasts forever. Just use a cotton swab or a tissue. Conditions your eye lids/lashes as well as easily wipes off your make-up.

Am I the only one that just uses a mild soap?

Guess so. :biggrin:

I wouldn't want to use soap around my eyes. I need to go to the dollar store. That's a good idea.

Where is WAS A? This is her thread. WasA where are you hiding?

Soap would definitely burn the eyes. I use neutrogena makeup remover pads.
