    Disability and Work

    @Psychomom, your boss sounds like a pill & frustrating but the reality is her words do not nullify your state issued handicap placard/tag. Legally she cannot tell you to stop parking in handicap spaces.....she has the right say anything she wants as you have the right to ignore her and continue...

    Pursuit of DS revision may be coming to an end....

    Good evening, Two weeks ago I had a CT scan of my stomach (with contrast), specifically the unused portion to determine existing blood supply. Yesterday I had an endoscopy. After waking from my very short nap the surgeon informed me that the endoscopy went fine but after reviewing my CT, it...

    I don't know where to start.

    @MarineWife13, so I work at a MTF, I would recommend calling tricare or visiting the tricare office on base to find out coverage for revision and referral/con order process. Completing the surgery at a military treatment facility will significantly reduce costs but if that's not possible your...

    Met w/Dr. Bonnani

    @southernlady @Larra I will get information to pass onto the group. Somehow that question got lost in information overload. I have been thinking more and more about losing too much weight recently. With the RNY I dropped to 147 and it scared me! My build was not designed for such numbers...

    Met w/Dr. Bonnani

    Completed appt w/ Bonnani last week. Had no clue what to expect but I was pleased with the interactions. I appreciate that he immediately started with an overview of revision options, highlighting pros and cons. During the overview I was a bit worried that he would try to sell another option...

    Lower Body Lift on THURSDAY!!!

    @Clematis sorry for the delayed response. Lol @ "adding on breasts", i think you have enough on the "surgical docket" to safely leave breasts for a later date. I am a RNYer, currently interested in DS revision. My RNY was laparoscopic....saying that to say unless your DS was not laparoscopic...

    Lower Body Lift on THURSDAY!!!

    Good luck to you! I had a lower body lift & breast lift in 2010 (10hrs, outpatient surgery). I couldn't stand up straight for about 10days. I left surgery with a pain pump & in a body suit. I required help getting in & out of bed for about 8 days. Advise: 1. TAKE EVERYTHING SLOW! Pain...

    Thank you @DianaCox and @southernlady, your words make me want to pump my fist in the air and yell "YEAH":yes2bb:. I feel encouraged and will do more research, though the information on this site alone is like #'s 1 thru 10 of encyclopedia Brittanica (remember those, before the world went...

    RNY- Sep 2008.....2013 accelerated weight gain begins I realize I had a sorted journey, marked by triumphs, inconsistencies, failures and so on but never understood that to mean I was traveling backwards. Enshrouded by fat, playing peek-a-boo with the world, avoiding mirrors, sizing up...
