I actually get the injections in my knees as well. Uncomfortable, but a relief when you're in pain. You're not special, or the only one. Nice, typical, snotty answers from skinny girls like you and your friends up there though. Automatically lash out and assume I've never looked at a weight chart, gone to Dr's myself for…

149 at your height is bordering too thin... You'll definitely be underweight if you lose 19 more.

Im totally with you, especially with the knee pain. Blew first my right knee, then the left last April trying to simply WALK for exercise while using MFP. (i did have right knee surgery removing meniscus, cauterizing ligaments, etc years ago. I'm almost bone on bone) I started at 322, lost down to 308- now I'm around 350 I…

I want the sleeve as well... I feel like i will avoid the malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies that way. My surgeon says he won't do it and that at my weight, open roux-n-Y is what he wants to do, even though I want laproscopic. It's his way or the highway- or I have to go somewhere else. I'm not really cool with that…

I know It's a little late, but why such a small intake before surgery? I understand liquid diet... But less than 400 cal a day seems way to low!

That should say I bought this couch March 11. Oopsie!

Oooh! Stomach binder! Luckily it will be around Sept-Nov by time surgery happens. Would be too hot to wear here, although I'm sure I'd learn to manage and be grateful for support! I don't know what I'll do about recliner. I bought this sofa with 2 built in recliner in March of 10, thinking it would loosen up. It has a bit,…

My skin is horrible! Oily face & sometimes scalp since I was a teen, scarred since adult onset acne in early 20's and the rest of me is so dry I call it "lizard skin" because It's dry & cracked. Resembles the desert floor, actually :-l Another fat person fallacy! Laughable tho. I've heard a ton...can't wait to see who…

*But you have such a pretty face/eyes/smile/hair, etc* Well, wtf is wrong with the rest of me? People don't understand why this is insulting... :(

I guess my biggest concern about "open dystal roux n y" is the cut! I'm worried about all the fat & little bit of muscle being cut thru and the pain and healing process. I remember after my lapband, it was smooth sailing with hardly any pain- just a bit of discomfort for a few days, but livable. (having it taken out- that…

*Bump* Saw someone questioning surgery & risks...

You're lucky, for sure! I just posted to let others know that there is another side to the lap band story, and it happens more often than you think. It wasn't my choice that it rejected. I'm completely scared of having open roux-n-y. Now that I'm here on MFP, I'm debating on doing it at all, but still going thru motions to…

Thank-you! I'm so happy for you and your recent surgery! I'm having the same thing potentially done in 6 months. It just depends on what damage remains from the band. I have SO many questions about the post surgery diet (how long on liquids, etc) Hope everything continues to go well for you!
