Please send a Prayer

Oh my god, how tragic this story is. Did you read up a ways where she copied and pasted an article about the risks? Unreal. :(

My heart just breaks thinking of her and her 4-y.o. boy who I know would rather have had a fat but healthy mom than this wreck of a skinny mini. My thoughts and hopes go out to them for peace and a good resolution.

OMG How awful for her. I read all the way to the end when she posted most recently. That is exactly why I chose the band. I'm praying too. Teresa

I just don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry and will be praying.

I'm gonna go hug my kids.

And I'm gonna EAT something! With sugar and Fat and thank Almighty God for my Band and my healthy body. My God, I wouldn't lose another pound if it meant living like that. I am blown away and so sorry.

Thanks for the link, Mary.

It definitely makes you stop and count your blessings... complaints about this fill or that fill... PB's...slow weight loss...complications -- all just seems so petty in the face of what she's dealing with...

Prayers for Jessica and her family...

You're so right Elizabeth..we all need to count our blessings. This sweet lady just wanted what we all want, and she got a nightmare, instead. This keep her and her family in our prayers, and keep following her progress as well.

Still waiting for my band....

I'm in tears. I'm so so sorry for everytime I whined that my band was a little too tight or a little too loose or a little too anything. How lucky most of us really are...

After reading her story, my complaining about anything is ridiculous. She has been through more in her life than most anyone her age, and I am so sad for that. She is in my prayers.

Also, she said that she is looking for a live liver donor. How does that work and how do they know if they have a match? I would be willing to do that to save a life, no question. But it might only be for family...I know nothing about it...

She is in my prayers. I also called my Grandmother last night, she has one of the closest links to the Man Upstairs of anyone I know so Ms. Jessica is now also on her prayer list and that of her church.. God bless this poor woman and her family. Thank you for letting us know about her.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
