I think you have the start of a good stand-up routine here. If you decide to go that way, I'll buy a ticket. :)

you know, I have been thinking to myself after being on the site for a while, there is more politically correct posturing going on here than at the democratic national convention. Almost every post has an a caveat that equates to "dont bitch slap me for this". I cant possibly be bothered to make sure I don't offend anyone. What would be the point anyway, offended people are often the most hysterical.

I welcome some down to earth common sense anytime!

I agree. This is why I don't post much. It seemed that every time I posted and gave an opinion if I did not include "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR" I would get slapped. I even thought about putting "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR" in my signature so that I would not have to say it all the time.

Oh by the way "MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR"

well I can see that sometimes a person can over react and others underreact but for the most part one must take accountability for there own actions and a forum is for support and some sort of direction. If you are throwing up 3 times a day see your Doc!!! that is common sence. good grief. I love the post that started this thread.

"Mother of GOD!! You must call your surgeon immediately.. My band slipped all the way down to my rectum and fell out, got caught on my ankle, made me trip and they had to do sixteen hours of surgery just to disentangle my port tubing from my ass"

I think we need a sense of humor to deal with life! I have surgery June 8th, I'll have to watch out for the ankle slippage and port-in-the-ass entanglement! :cool:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
