    SADI-S / Loop - Please share facts about this new procedure here.

    I get it. Thanks. I'm pretty sure with two stage operations, it does go slower. Not positive but I think that's normal. I can't believe you survived insurance approval twice...once was enough for me LOL This is not a race to the finish, this is progression to health and well being. This is...

    SADI-S / Loop - Please share facts about this new procedure here.

    Amy, I don't know if pioneer would be the correct term. I'm a smudge over 5 years out with the Sadi. I will say that I have for the most part maintained my weight loss, Height 5'6" HW ~350 CW (well 165 -175) like 10 pounds more than I want to be but it's that I really like real Cokes and when...

    BMI 47.4 with Medicare. .

    I'd like to add to this review. I'm almost 5/6 years out, I've lost track. I am at goal, I've stayed within 20 lbs below or at goal since about a 1 1/2 years after surgery. I'd also like to add that the morning of the surgery without coffee, I was offered the SADI and it sounded like it was...

    Today's non scale Fail

    Ok. So, I am wearing a 12 pants, a m/l top. Feeling adventurous, I bought the cutest overall capri's. I've never been able to wear overalls and thought I looked soooo cute :) I went shopping a couple of places and there is a pocket right at the chest. It's so convenient to keep your change...

    "But it was worth it" ... what is your "I don't care" indulgence?

    Watermelon. With lots of salt. I poop pink water for a day. It's awesome, delicious and since it's mostly water, I can have more later ;) It's so odd, I can eat a banana, candy bar, ice cream (that's a new addition and I do get flatulent), cake all the things that are supposed to kill us...

    First Emergency Experience With Socialized Medicine!

    I wouldn't have needed 120. I would have needed 1 or 2 a night for 8-10 days, 16 to 20 would have gotten me to the point where I could manage. I could handle the pain when i was awake until I got so tired, I couldn't handle breathing.... I know it's the drug seekers that have really caused...

    First Emergency Experience With Socialized Medicine!

    I'd like to add my voice to a small part of the healthcare crisis that I just experienced. I tripped over a rug recently. A lifetime of experience taught me to land on my padded stomach to keep my body safe. I no longer have padding there and landed on my ribs. I ended up in an ER. They...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    Hilarious thing is that I looked the ER doctor right in the eye and told him I was drug seeking LOL He had the nurse bring me a 10mg Nor co and then gave me tram a dol script. I hate taking drugs!

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    FYI. I finally couldn't take the pain. I went drug seeking. They took an xray and while I didn't crack or break any ribs, they somehow through an xray can tell that I have contusions of the chest wall?? They gave me tram a dol (the word was banned?) and told me to take it easy. No prob. It...

    New here with Questions...

    I'm a little over three years out. I don't think I've ever dumped but early on all dairy was evil (took me a while to figure that out). Watermelon gives me pink dhr. Once a year, I still indulge. I eat basically what I want, protein first. I went to Denny's last night and had the Moons over...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    Thanks, but I really think the worst I did was a crack. I've thought about the way I fell, I arched my back and I remember taking a deep breath. All my life, the most padded part of my anatomy was my stomach. The reason my hip and ribs got the worst of it was because I instinctively jutted my...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    I'm taking one advil every four hours and as long as I don't cough, hiccup, move to the left or sneeze, it's more than manageable. Went out to rib eye for lunch and now I'm going to get my nails done. Thanks for the good wishes, makes me feel important :) I'm gonna be fine, I was just on the...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    LOL. Yeah, I think I was feeling sorry for myself last night. I still hurt this morning and didn't sleep well but I'm on the mend and my plans for the day are continuing as planned. I just took an Advil and it will kick in soon :) Wish I had remembered I was on camera and I would have turned...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    True. Hadn't thought about that. I'm sitting here now because I know how bad it's gonna hurt to lay down. My stomach was so big it probably would have taken most of the blow, always did in the past. Fat or not so fat, I've always been a klutz. You are right, I can't use my weight to push...

    First negative thing I have to say about being not fat...

    I work part time at a psych hospital. I'm rarely that as I do mobile assessments. Tonight, I had to deliver some paperwork because the fax machines were down. While there, an intruder got in the building (I'll be honest, I was thrilled at the excitement, my life is normally professional and...

    Gained 5 pounds this month...

    It's been a perfect storm. I'm working from sun up to way after sundown. In the car if I'm not at a clients house or the ER. I'm eating 2-3 meals in my car while driving so it's been fast food all the way. I normally can grab a burger or whatever to eat while in the car with no consequences...

    CheeseaPalooza!!!

    I am discovering that I can get too much cheese. I'm having a few issues but I have been eating cheese non stop. I'm like a crack addict right now ;) It's been so long since I've had the ooey gooey yuminess of cheese that I freely admit I've overdone it. I'm wondering if it has to do with...
