Hey re-sizing a ring is HAPPINESS!!! Better then UP sizing

Hi everyone. Home from the hospital. All went well. I am just tired and sore, but feeling really positive.

Thanks for all the positive mojo.

Yeah but it's $50 every time. I can think of plenty things I would rather spend that money on. And until I pay for it to be done,I can't wear it most of the time cause I don't want to risk losing it lol!

Congrads L!!! Whooo hooo another new sister!! Get some rest and drink that Lortab LOL

Ash, if I were you I would hold off for a while. Maybe don't wear it as much?

Hello Everyone! Happy Monday!

Hi Lee! I’m surprised to hear that they used mesh. You should ask him. It was explained to me they hadn’t offered the Sleeve with the mesh because it had a higher rate of complications. Can you see it on your surgery picture? I don’t see anything but a staple line on my pic. Doc Who told me they use something to prevent bleeding where the stomach is cut, maybe that’s what they’re talking about. Yesterday I had 1/3 cup of meatballs come back up. That’s all I ate and it was not even a full 1/3 cup. Spoke to Doc Who today and he said an occasional vomit is nothing to be concerned with. I’ve got plenty of energy, I feel good and not very hungry so in all I’m very happy. How are you?

Congrats Laurel!!! Welcome to the other side! Rest and relax!

. Spoke to Doc Who today and he said an occasional vomit is nothing to be concerned with. ?

Lol. Sounds like Doc Fisher!

Lol. Sounds like Doc Fisher!

That made me laugh out loud!

Thanks Tamra..yeah I am just got off the stationary bike and am having fish for dinner.

Its so weird, once you fall off its sooo hard to get back on track, just like any diet I have ever been on! But this time is different. I tell myself I didnt do this to fail, or go through the pain for fun. That seems to snap me back into reality quick!!

This has been a challenge for sure, but its a great one!!! We will see the fruits of our labor one day!
