Found this website yesterday. Having sleeve done in Costa Rica May 11. (revision of band). Thanks for the ideas for meals.

If you check w/your doctor, some may be able to use "Flector" adhesive patches for anti-inflammatory instead of Motrin/Ibuprofen. I've been on these prescription gel patches for a couple weeks and not having any side effects, and feel much better. Also had a cortisone shot & braces, but at least I can lift grandboys again. I don't even take Nexium anymore & still no tummy upset~yay!

Best advice is "take what your doctor prescribes". The problem is that not everyone has a great follow-up program postop, so they don't really know what is safe and what isn't. It's soooo important to keep in touch with your surgeon! Great video.

Nice seeing you. I really have to get caught up here. Too much work.

I am so glad you like your job and that things are going well for your family.

You look Marvelous! And healthy - that's the best thing. While you were talking, I started my "what I can do now that I couldn't a year ago" list - chairs with arms and all that. April 1 was my one year anniversary of my first appointment with the surgeon to see if I qualified for surgery. So glad I did it!

That skin is not fun, is it? Someday.

Thanks karen your info is always helpful to me as we have no support/support groups over here in england (well not near me anyway) xx

[WeightNoLonger]

You are welcome. I haven't been to England in quite a while. The last time was to Manchester and England. Then off to Paris and Ireland for business.

I too hate my flabby arms, but I keep telling myself that it looks better than the big fat arms I had before! At least the tummy flab is more easily hidden. ;-)

[WeightNoLonger]

I know what you mean. I'd rather have the skin than the fat. Skin is easier to hide than fat.

[WeightNoLonger]

Thanks for the comment about looking younger. I keep thinking I look older because my face wrinkles aren't as full. :)

Karen, thanks for all the information, I so enjoy watching your video's, Always good info, and you are looking great

[WeightNoLonger]

Thanks so much. I plan to keep the videos coming, but they may not be as often as I used to do. But I need to document my video for myself and I hope it helps others.

[AntoniaTakeTwo]

Karen as usual great info! I like your uniform. I have the same arm issues!

Green is a great color for you!

[WeightNoLonger]

I love having a uniform. That way I don't have to spend a bunch of money on office clothing. Thanks for commenting.

[hellokitty7696]

Thanks for the information, it's always good to find out or get refreshed with info. I haven't lost all my weight yet but my arms are getting pretty bad so I know how you feel. what a pain! LOL

[WeightNoLonger]

Yes, the arm thing is ugly. I remember seeing woman with that when I was younger saying to myself. "I hope I never have arms like that". Oh well.

[kkimberly2004]

very informative! loved it!

[cabernetqueen]

hey- I was feeling solidarity with you when I saw your arms-- mine are the same! I think you are such a solid go to gal for all kinds of important info for us all! thank you for being here!

[WeightNoLonger]

My husband calls my arms my wings but has never ridiculed me. He just says don't worry, surgery can take care of it one day if you want to do that.
