Same here, about 4-5 months my hair started to leave the building anyway it could...Im almost 6 months out and its still shredding like crazy......do take my Vitamins daily and protein....

Yup, and I absolutely hate it when i'm eating something and someone says "are you allowed that?" or if someone sees me with my tiny dish of food, "Don't eat too much". . . errrrrrrrr i just want to slap them, but instead, I tell them "Well I've come this far without taking any advise from you" then I just laugh and walk off with my bowl. . . people can be soooooo ignorant. . . the other thing i totally hate is women trying to compete with me for whatever reason. . . get over it b00tch00s I already KNOW i'm better looking! hehehe

Ok that is that funniest s***........"Ive come this far without taking any advice from you" that is genius and I will quote you whenever I can.....my side hurts from laughing picturing you saying that and walking away with bowl in hand....lol thank you , you made my day

_{There are plenty of lotions that claim to help skin tightning but they dont work and are just out to make money...the best thing to do is cardio, lift weights and if after a year you still have bad excess skin is to get it removed.......good luck on your journey}

YOU Should take more shirtless pics ..........You look Good

Im with Susan,,,, I never had any problems before and Im almost 6 months out...I stopped taking them at 4 months and then anything I ate I felt crappy so went back on them and doing fine again. So I think I will be a lifer

Absolutely Amazing.......You look Fabtastic

YOU ROCK

Susan said it perfectly and I do the same, we got this surgery so we cant and wouldnt be able to eat a whole pizza anymore...one or two slices is what "normal" people do or should eat....Just make sure that you are still getting your Protein in and exercise and live life happy with no more regrets

FANTABULOUS

Shellyac....wait until you are done having kids. The skin will stretch and you will have to get the stretch marks and the loose skin removed again so if you get the Tummy Tuck first it will be a waste of money....wait until you are all done and it will look amazing

I eat 6 times times a day and im hungry 6 times a day.I asked my surgeon and he said its normal but to.make.sure I stick to mainly Protein so I don't risk weight gain after my body has adapted to my sleeve.

_{I went through Kaiser as well and when I met the surgeon I asked him what surgery he thought was best for me and what would work the best for my life style and my bad habbits.......Good luck to you all on your weight loss jouney}

Sounds like we are in kinda the same boat.......I wore a size 26 and now am in a 16/8...I have been at 208/207 for a little while now and was sleeved in June.........Im so happy for you that you went under 200............I am waiting for my day too , keep up the good work

You look terrific

Well I have had one but I got it done about 5 years ago and even though I was still over 200 pounds when I got it , after having a child it looked like my butt was in front.......I had VSG surgery in June and my stomach is flat looking in my clothes......I would absolutely do it over again...I will be honest with you though it was probably the worst surgery recovery wise I have ever done....the VSG surgery I had no pain , took no medication and felt great. I have a big pain tolerance but it was no match for this surgery.....make sure you have family available for the first week, all day and night.....you cant sit up by yourself or lift anything and you wont want to...you will also need someone you are comfortable with to use the restrooms........But after all said and done , yes I would do it again.......but I still remember what I had to go thru and it wasnt fun........Just my journey , others might have weathered better............Good luck on your journey

I ate between 6 to 8 times a day,my surgeon says its ok and normal just make sure you eat Protein and not carbs I am almoast 6 months out and still eat about 6 times a day and don't always stick to just protein and have still been going down on the scale.< /p>

I am having the same problem, pleas message Alex and let him know you are having the same issue

I am using Microsoft xp and resolution is 1024 by 768,,,thank you for your help/time.

I am having issues with the new site too, I cant read all the posts because they are all bunched together...I contacted the site about 2 weeks ago but have had no response

June 2011........45lb gone

Unfortunately they dont get smaller....Spider Veins are superficial and will always be clearly seen on the surface, usually do to working on your feet for years and genetics also play a part...Varicose Veins are the deeper bigger ones and again unfortunately when you loose weight the fat around them disappears and makes them more prominent.......There are no creams that will make them better or lighter so dont buy into the infomericials........I work in the Vascular Surgery Clinic and trust me if there was a golden ticket we would be handing them out daily ........Good luck on your weight loss journey

You look amazing

It's funny how our eyes can deceive us at times. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and don't see the drastic change that others say they see. I even put a slide show together for my 100 pound mark and didn't see it like this. It wasn't until I put these two pictures side-by-side when I realized just how much I have changed in the last 8 months. WOW!

Just radiant

Im the same as southern sleever,I have stalled since day of surgery, I go 3 to 4 weeks with nothing then drop 4 to 5 pounds ...mentally is very frustrating but am getting a little better dealing with it.....stay strong,stay positive ..........good luck to you on your journey
