Post Surgical Complications
I was on a business trip, and on the 5-hour flight, the guy I was going with got testicular torsion somehow on the fllight. I had never heard of it before, but he ended up having emergency surgery across the continent from home, and we both missed two out of the three days of our conference. This big, tough, Iraq war vet was weeping in the cab to the emergency room, and I had to half carry him.
Did not look fun at all.

After my surgery I had what the hospital called the worst surgical infection they had ever seen. It took two additional surgeries, a long hospital stay and three months to finally clear up. It was horrible, but I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat! The surgery is life changing. Don't be fearful of the risks. Most people have no complications. You will be happy when you choose surgery over a life of obesity. :-)
I am making the same decisions. I have young Kiddo's too. Its scary to think my choice might leave them without a mom who adores them.
I heard a major complicatuon is Scar tissue. I've heard people are having to have several follow up surgeries to fix.
I cant give you any advice, but I can say that I'm having the same worries.
Once I am committed, there will be no turning back. My first appointment is December 6, 2016. My mom has hqd the surgery and she has done amazing. She is so cute to watch in her new wardrobe choices. She has ***** and is full of elegance Growing up I endured ridicule because of her weight. She never allowed photos, and wasn't social. There is a change in her I am so proud to witness.
starts with S. ends with K. means you have lots of energy. not a cuss word but the site is not allowing it...sorry
In one of the menus, you can turn off the cuss word blocker. OH doesn't disallow anything, but your personal preferences are set up to block naughty language.
