I will be there for prescription refills as I prefer when it comes to those people, better to do it in person. I will stop by the patient advocacy to discuss the issue as I don't want someone else to have the same thing happen. What sux even more to me is I am short and weigh more than half...

This was Carter, he's not on any kind of listing for wls i'm sure, Madigan has their surgeons that most don't just do WLS but all surgeries as most are in the military themselves. Insurance wise it didn't cost me a dime unless I get a bill for $12 for the hospital stay. Since the consent form...

Not really anything I can do except complain that I didn't know about the surgery I got through patient advocacy but most they would do is inform the surgeons there was a complaint most likely. It's kind of like those cards at businesses asking how did we do or trucks with how is my driving...

Forgot to add, I had surgery on Dec 18th was out on the 20th and new years day did a classic car cruise. Although it was open it's healing well. Had the staples out over a week ago cause they were really making things sore!! I just drove for 30 miles doing the cruise. But couple days ago got...

Basically, put military and training hospital together you get what you get. I even asked to verify, waiting to go into surgery measurements etc to know I was getting the DS. Resident comes in next morning and tells me I got the sips but he wasn't saying the acronym right which I corrected him...

I'm a car person and on a lot of automotive forums and this debate reminds me of the fram oil filter. One particular forum all you had to say was you used fram oil filters then sit back and read! Like throwing a steak in the middle of a bunch of hungry wild dogs. I have to admit I did this...

I never have drank during meals, even when a kid, unless something tickled my throat or it got stuck a little in there. So no matter what the instructions should be I do the same as always. Of course we always had milk when I was a kid and i'm not a milk drinker so save the worst for last I...

Thank you for posting the pics and your story! I wanted the ds but in the end got the sips on dec 18th, this gives me hope that I can still lose!

Thank you for the break down.

Is there somewhere that has like a chart of what normal ranges are? I can learn the acronyms for them as I have done like for my thyroid, ldl stuff like that but would be nice to have a list or chart of ranges.

Makes me think it would of just about been better the opposite way around where you would lose less but have more absorption than what you started with. I am juggling this around in my mind and come up with the issue of the nerves in my neck being pinched too long and so half my body is numb on...

Great to meet you Brandi. Nothing wrong with the age. Wish I'd done something like this many years ago myself. I am having surgery tomorrow, revising from sleeve to DS. Can't wait to get it over with so I can stop being nervous and let the games begin!

I sure hope that you can get them going the other way! Don't think i'd want a revision again either. I'm totally new to all this so i'm standing back reading and trying to retain what I read for my own future adventure starting tomorrow.

Happy to hear you are doing well! Amazing recovery in progress I do say also! Hope I can do as well!

@DianaCox I downloaded the pdf but everything is cut off on the right side. Is it just me? Since I got stuck using windows 10 I don't know for sure when a problem is from the OS or the files or whatever.

Congrats Mark!!

@Susan in Tennessee no worries, I do that stuff all the time!!

26 foot compared to a pop-up is like the taj mahal! Love the layout.

@southernlady I picked an appropriate handle/nic didn't I! ;)

Thanks!
