I'm 5.5 weeks out from my lbl/bl. I sneezed this morning and realized it did not hurt. Yay!! This is a huge victory for me. sneezing and coughing used to really hurt my tummy.

I am really feeling a lot better these days. So happy!!

Girl, I sneezed yesterday and thought the world was gonna end. Sometimes I will strangle in my sleep and wake up coughing and that hurts like Hell. At 12 days out that is getting somewhat better but I wont trust it for a while. It is the suprise sneeze that will get ya.

I am so glad you have made it to this point. I can't wait to get there myself.

Good news! Laughing and coughing don't hurt me anymore, but the other day I had a sneezing fit, and I thought I was gonna cry!

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

O dear God! I never thought of the pain sneezing or coughing would cause! Obviously, those unfortunate events have not happened to me yet! I won't let anyone make me laugh yet. It happened once and I though my intestines was coming out my stomach! :-)

Good for you!

Oooo - funny! Brought back a memory from just out of WLS when I had a sneezing fit ALL DAY LONG - OMG... I thought I was going to die and pulled all my stitches out. Glad you're no longer hurting from it and you are feeling a lot better!
