  • @chinadoll22275 Im sorry to hear about ur friend. I hope she gets better. The 1st couple of weeks are very hard, Dont let it set u back, after all Ive gone through I still do it over again. Prayerz sent ur way :)

  • Testing is only mandatory at my drs if ur symptomatic. Im happy to say though that as of today it is a mandatory test for all patients at my dr's office! Yey. I got through to someone, I almost died!

  • Just so u know pain is part of the process just like any other surgery! I do not regret having the surgery. Im happy with my decision. Im just one of those rare cases. I m so glad u all r getting tested before ur surgery!

  • @Youjustwatchmechange girl i didnt have my surgery just for weight loss. I did it because of all the other things wrong. ZDiabetes, Heart issues, Blood pressure, Sleep apnea and so many other things. I was on 32 different medications a day plus my insulin. Now Im on 1/2 of that! Thats awesome! Not worried about my kidneys, I go for regular lab draws. Dr is more worried about the bacteria and the ulcers. Hard to get rid of after surgery! Scarey!

  • Thank u all for ur support! Im happy to be here and getting better. Still not completely healed but Ill get there sooner not later. Good luck to u pre-opers. I dont regret the surgery I d do it again ina heart beat! Everyone has different experiences and all of our journeys r different. Keep strong and hit those goals!!!!!!

  • DONT BE SCARED HUNNY I DONT REGRET HAVING THE SURGERY, ITS NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE I JUST WAS SICK FROM THE BEGGINNING. IM SURE ULL BE FINE. ILL BE PRAYING FOR U, U CAN DO IT GIRL!

see all
