Don't be scared my little ones

Ok, if we have any people that are about to have surgery, do not worry about the things I said are happening to me. As you can see, quite a few (most) don't have problems. I didn't have a doctor that specialized in wls; general surgeon. And he was great! But, these other things are just things that sometimes happen. It just happened to me. But please don't be scared of the surgery. When I was extremely healthy (or what I thought was healthy), I would never tell people to have the surgery or not; that is a very personal choice. I would tell them that "yes, I would do it again". Now, I don't know. But, those of you who said you were praying for me or worried for me, thank you. I'm ok; I have to be ok. All of my bloodwork comes back excellent, except for vitamin deficiencies. Even though I have a "gargantuan" thyroid (but good bloodwork results), have been put on metformin (a diabetic drug) for polcystic ovarian disease (which makes me have to each some sugar since my AIC is 4.3), premarin for early menopause, 2 types of antidepressants (1 type in morning, 1 type in evening) and then xanax IF I stress out. If? Doc, I run 2 call centers with 120 employees state wide and have the governor up my butt weekly, yes, I stress out. It's life. But, I digress... What I'm saying is this does NOT happen to everyone. I just wanted Jay to watch the signs since he had a concern about the 2 yr mark last night. This probably will never happen to anyone of you. Jus****ch your vitamin intake, get your bloodwork done regularly, and I know this is nasty, bu****ch what "comes out of you". It can be a tell tale sign of numerous things. Liz

Hey my pretty.... First of all, you are so in my prayers and I hope you get through this....I KNOW YOU WILL....you are an INCREDIBLY strong person But please keep us posted... Secondly, that was nice of you to post this but people really need to see both sides of the fence too....THANKFULLY I have not had any complications at all outside of just not losing all my weight (but it is an ongoing DAILY battle). But I know of tons of issues that CAN arise. It took me over three years of research and soul searching to do this because of the pros and cons. I decided I could die by staying 400 pounds and growing daily, not getting around, being a hermit, depressed, etc. No, this was no magic pill and is a constant battle everyday but I get better evertyday mentally. So, it is good people see both sides or all sides....so THANK YOU! Again, we have so mu*****ommon...I ran call centers for 15 years before my role with call centers in a corporate manner now....so I KNOW STRESS....believe it or not, SOMETIMES I really miss it.....but have enjoyend working for myself the last two years as I continue to learn more about me, get better physically and it has worked out beautifully since I met Nate and have more time for us. But we have the same background sister Have a special day with your family...gotta run out and do some errands...loves, Annie

but DO worry about chewing. CHEW CHEW CHEW. i'm stuck in an airport which has only one bathroom that is literally a sh*thole and i've gone and got stuck on a piece of chicken. I do not want to go into that pit and throw up and am hoping desperately that they get our plane here soon so i can get on there and try throwing up in the planes bathroom cause even that is better than this airport. Doesn't look good either, the plane i'm supposed to take out of here hasn't landed yet and they just announced it's been diverted to another airport due to weather. SO CHEW dang it. I will never learn. CHEW CHEW CHEW and i aint impersonating a train!

hijack. just got back from saugatuck. I am a complete schmuck. there was a pet adopting thing going on so OF COURSE i have to go look at all the dogs & there is this HANDSOME pure bred boxer there. HOWEVER, I am still somewhat sane & rather than flat out adopt him for myself I ask if they work with rescues. so I am about 75% sure I will have a new foster as of tomorrow. I would have taken him right then but the person who drove out there HATES dogs. the lady there said only 1 person showed interest in him, & may come back tomorrow...so we'll see what happens. I need to stop looking at dogs at those things!! although I am the only one in my rescue who has not adopted one of their fosters. even though I want to nearly every time. p.s. I think bruno just farted. nasty.

"p.s. I think bruno just farted. nasty." His way of letting you know he'll always be "top dog?" I saw a dog once when I was in A2 visiting a friend. His name was Stanley (he was a mix of pit and something else and cute as hell) and he L-O-V-E-D me...but I stayed sane as well and didn't adopt him. I still think about him, though, and hope he found a good home.

i just thought it funny that you 'HIJACKED' Jay's airport/airplane thread...

bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, BOMB. (name that movie) I'll give you a hint: "oh yeah, you can pretty much milk anything with nipples."
