LOL. My stomach is going to be 2-3 oz. larger than yours. One long suture but no re-plumbing so less invasive a little better absorption. You may already know this, but just in case, the sleeve has been in existence for quite awhile but was used as a surgery for high risk patients who couldn't...

Tilly, let's look at the big picture in Real Time. No unnecessary risk or suffering after surgery, ok got that....but best of all....Celebrate!!! Take advantage of saying Good Bye to the old you and Welcome to the New You this New Year. Enjoy The Holiday Fully. Be sure take lots of pretty...

Great job recouping and reporting your progress & experience. I am so happy to hear that you were able to lie on your side, I'm a side/belly sleeper. Thanks for the Chapstick update. I bought a small sampler of body butter to moisturize everything. Thanks for the hot tea and sit straight hints...

Do your hands return to normal then swell again after eating?

I keep thinking the same thing. Happy new you.

My son and a few of his coworkers get stuffy noses after eating. Their nasal passages actually swell. We know this because Motrin will reduce the stuffiness but nose spray won't. He thinks it has something to do with circulation. I'm wondering if it is scent? It is a puzzle. Let us know if you...

Could it be something in the food prep? Like salt or some spice or oil or something that you cook with each time? Can you try listing what food, spice, etc is in each meal, then tracking your physical reactions at what time & intensity after each meal for a week or two and see if there is any...

Oh my Gosh. You were my surgery buddy! I don't want to sound selfish but I was so looking forward to sharing this day with you. I'm so darn disappointed. Well I'm sending you a big cyber hug your way. You are still my surgery buddy. I'll see you on the other side real soon. Go wild and live...

Enjoy your turkey. It is all so exciting. I had my pre op today and that went fine. But I didn't get the tour and more personal touch like you did. I think that is a nice touch. Mine was all business conducted by all very friendly and personable professionals. Now is the final countdown.

What a wonderful wife you are to make this experience as happily memorable as possible for your husband. I hope you will have your own special moment next year when you start your own adventure. This is so romantic too. I wish you both a wonderful journey together toward being healthy and...

Yippee!!! So happy to hear from you so soon after surgery. You are a strong lady. I'm not gonna tell You to walk the hospital corridors, I'm gonna suggest you boogie your way down those halls. You go girl,were so proud of you.

:confused: I'll be in surgery this time next Monday! I have been thinking about and anticipating what I will be able to do right after surgery when I get home. Will I be able to do the laundry? Cook? Walk the dog? Feed the dog! Load the dishwasher? Vacuum & scrub? Do the boogie woogie? If not...

This is all so interesting. To me a protein bar is a candy bar on steroids. I figure I may as we'll be honest and eat a candy bar. I too am not as satisfied after eating them as another type of high protein snack is; but they are handy on the run. That's why I'm thinking they are in the candy...

We're here for you and will be thinking of you. I've set my iPhone alarm. Lucky me I'm Pacific time and since I don't know where you're from (no don't tell me) I'm guessing you're from Hawaii. LOL. So when you feel a big surge of Happiness know it is from me and my grand kids. Happy Health...
