Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Welcome ........ Calvin sounds like a keeper for sure..... As for other folks, just let it go. They don't get it, they never will. Your just stressing over it for nothing. You are doing fabulous........ that is so awesome. Keep up the great job. Hugs, Romero Louisiana 381/285/160 Lap RNY 5-29-2002 FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us New Member Hi my name is ' and I'm from Texas. I read all the post and just decided to post now. I really enjoy this site! I had gastric bypass on April 18, 2002 and have lost a total of 155 lbs! I hope to lose about 50 to 60 more. We recently found out we were 4 weeks(on Friday the 13th of all days 9/13/02) pregnant, but two weeks later we lost the baby. That was very devistating for us. The doctor said that the surgery had nothing to do with the miscarriage and that it would be safe for us to try again. I am very fortunate to have a very supportive husband. He has stood by me through all of this. He married me at my top weight of 460lbs. He said the weight didn't matter to him he loved me for me and my heart. I have had a lot of people ask me if my husband married me before I had this surgery and when I tell them yes they just look at me and say that he must have really loved you to marry you at that size. Has any one else had that said to them before? Calvin says to just let it roll off of my back and that some people are just that way. But it hurts my feelings and makes me mad. I still struggle with the battle of emotional eating. After we lost the baby it was realy hard not to just go and binge a whole lot. Calvin was there for me for that. This surgery has helped that and it's not as bad as it us to be. I think this was the best thing I have ever done, except for marring Calvin! We celebrate our one year anniversary on December 29th. It doesn't seem like it has been a year. I'm sorry this is so long. I just get to going and rambling and don't know when to stop. That is what being a housewife will do to ya! Take care and hope to hear from ya'll soon! Congrats to everyone who has had the surgery and all the weight loss and good luck and prayers to the one that are considering and to the ones that are waiting on surgery!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2002 Report Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hi - So nice to have you with us. You sound like a special lady. I'm so sorry about your miscarriage. Those people who say comments about Calvin marrying you when you were heavy are ignorant. To them, appearance is everything. They aren't ever gonna get it, even if someone beats them over the head with it. Anyway, I'm glad you've joined us. Congrats on all that you've lost so far. You are doing a fabulous job! Take care.

I thought they kept people on coumadin for some number of months after the ablation to be sure the afib was gone, then phased it out.
