Sorry to hear about your troubles. I too have had my share of pain management issues. After
fracturing my pelvic bone in two places and being out of work for over two months after just
getting a promotion in July of 2008 I thought I was going nuts because I had to take Percosets
day and night to deal with the pain. I now want to start going back to the gym so I can get ready
for my annual trip to Las Vegas. Take care and hope to see you soon.

Im sorry I cant help i didnt have theband i had RNY one reason was because i didnt want ot worry about fills.
I am actually thinking about joining a gym just not sure its in the budget right now. I am going to buy a couple sets of hand weights here next week and do some working out at home. I am going for a bike ride this weekend. I really want to go roller skating that would be a fun way to get in some good cardio but im scared to death if I get tripped I'll break a leg and get taken out of work.LOL
Good luck with getting the answers you need.

Music is a good motivator. I love to listen to everything. Depending on the task, I do stuff like Barbra when I need to concentrate, and Mettalic when I want to just let loose.
You are right the winter is a tough time to get yourself moving.

Sorry things aren't improving on the family front. I understand that those issues can be very destructive to us. I guess its probably one of the reasons I got as heavy as I did because I thought by being that heavy I could disappear and people would leave me alone. I really don't think that worked but it was a good illusion for my mind. Can you get into a therapist? Sometimes the professional sees things that could help us defuse things for our own good. I do hope you find peace of mind soon. Its not good to be in that state of mind.

Gosh a Sleeve Gastrectomy...never heard of that one before. Can you provide me with some details...how does that differ from RNY - is it easier on recovery? Hopefully the first person that had the surgery will pop in to say hi as well! That would be a nice - at least you could compare what items are happening. That was a good thing for me with RNY - at the time I had it there were lots of people that did it before me and could help me through the process. Although its now that I need the help and its not RNY related so its hard to find the support like I did for the RNY questions. So how do you feel so far. Have you run into any problems? I am sure the downstate groups are good source for help too. Joanne Hammond is very active in that area.
Thanks for popping in and hopefully seeing you soon.
