Thank you so much. The super sagging skin is worth it but it has to go. For me it actually itches.

Have any of you Done medical tourism For your plastic surgery? If so do you mind sharing where you went, your thoughts, cost anything you feel like sharing. I thought bariatric pal had a relationship for plastic surgeons in Mexico for after you lost all your weight but I’m not finding the link.

Help my hair is falling out! I’m having trouble covering my scalp. I had read this day may come. I already have fine thin hair. This year I have been put anastesia 4 time. I had my lap band to gastric sleeve May 2017 this crazy hair coming out started in October. Please share all your tips and tricks. My nails are fine. My skin is starting to bruise easily. I am hypothyroid but that is in check.

Great question! I plan on getting plastic surgery as soon as possible, new hair cut, mani pedi, new wardrobe A whole new makeover

Actually a lot of this seems like her fibromyalgia. The surgery can cause a serious flair. The first step is understanding fibromyalgia. Your sister lives in constant pain which often times people expressing anger. It also would explain Her extreme fatigue. Many of the more severe Fibro patients can no longer hold down jobs, clean their homes and some can't even take care of their families. Many experience something called Fibro fog which makes it very difficult to think clearly, often don't want to be a part of family and friends gatherings because any stress good or bad can contribute to pain. So yes as others said getting a therapist might be helpful, having her bloodwork run also helpful but having her husband and yourself have a thorough understanding of fibromyalgia would probably be the best benefit to her. Also finding her a very good fibromyalgia doctor and pain specialist.

So far I don't see any improvement.

The surgery pain is not as bad as it was before. However I still cannot go for walks. I am swimming though. I have an appointment to speak with the doctor about furthering my surgery into the DS. The nurse practitioner seemed very excited that he would allow this after reviewing my charts. Even though I am following the very low-carb diet the weight-loss is excessively slow. I know if I could just do more that would help but the Fibromyalgia pain is still there.

For those of you that have had DS. which multivitamins did your physician put you on ? what form did they come in? And have you had any problems with malabsorption as long as you have stayed consistent with your vitamins?

My surgery was May 1 and I am still having abdominal pain. However, I have fibromyalgia so I am unsure if this is normal or not.

Today is another painful days. However I am going to try to swim however very low impact. I see a pain specialist on Monday and I'm hoping that perhaps they can pull all of my issues together and come up with a better so-called pain cocktail. I want the pain to go away but be able to have a clear mind which is difficult. I also have asked my doctor to look up for my file and see if my gastric sleeve can be converted to the duodenal switch. It has a higher success rate for weight loss and long-term results as far as keeping the weight off. It is what I actually asked for and the doctor would not do it. When I went to my check up yesterday they were disappointed in my weight loss so far even though I've been following the directions as best I can. Since I saw the nurse practitioner I learned that my doctor in the group doesn't do the duodonel switch and it was another. However my doctor didn't refer me to the other doctor so I have asked that the other doctor review my file to see if I would be a candidate as I matchup for everything in the written literature stating I would be a good candidate. I'll let you know how it goes.

I got sleeved May 1st and now you pain is no longer controlled. It's very difficult to get in the daily walks when you hurt from head to toe literally.

Do you know the link to her website? Who took care of your medical travel coordinating?

I'm 30 days out and doing the same. I did find I can swim then float for awhile when I'm tired.

Wow! You look great.

Have you ladies found that where are your skin touches you get rashes? I have started to notice for example that under my breast where they touch my skin has started to get red and itchy also where I'm having sagging skin in the groin area is doing the same thing and I have to use a lot of baby powder. I am in the beginning of all this weight loss journey is this something I can expect to continue until I reach my goals and can have plastic surgery?
