Good morning! I started using Nioxin products and Biotin a few weeks after my surgery. I personally have had great success, My hair that fell out (and it was a lot) has grown back!

This will be the best decision ever! Your only regret will be why didn't I do it sooner:-) Trust us, just relax and enjoy the new adventures ahead of you.

Happy holidays my fellow sleevers. I am in need of some motivational help. I have gotten off track and having a difficult time getting back on. I have stopped going to the gym each day, I have stopped eating healthy, and eat more than I know I should be eating. I have not done any permanent damage I am sure, but will if I don't find the motivation to get back. The holidays have been especially difficult for me since my children were not able to come home this year. I do not think I am eating emotionally but who knows at this point. The hurt feeling of eating too much does not happen too much anymore:( This is where you all come in, words, prayers, you name it I need it.

you are going to LOVE it in a few weeks. I went to TJ also and had no troubles at all. Best of luck

Hi Lowe1961, I am at 8 months next friday and loving my sleeve. I am down to 118 pounds, exercise 4 to 5 times a week, have run my first mud run, and so happy.

You are not alone and you said it...you miss the old you. Getting use to so much can be difficult. Give yourself time and enjoy your success of weight loss. Feel free to e-mail me for support and encouragment.

a slow loser is still a loser! Celebrate.

Thank Kittyvalley, it won't be long trust me. I have only been sleeved for 6 months:-)

So excited I could cry. As of today I am part of the 50 pound club. The funny thing is people kept telling me I was too thin to have the surgery and only look to be about 30 pounds overweight. Well here I am at 50 pounds off and feel crazy wonderful. 122 has never felt so good.

I tried laxitives and powders but they really do not make a difference. When are you are able to exercise, running really helps. You know sort of impacts everything down in the correct area, hee hee I dont think there is such thing as TMI on this site:-)

Tell the truth and the longer you wait the harder it will be.

remember less in makes for less output:-) Me and 4 of my friends who had the surgery only go about 1 or 2 times per week. Make sure you are drinking water.

Stay away from TV, in your pre op status it seems like every single thing on TV talks about food. I actually started going for walks. Hang in there you can do it!

I do P90X and Insanity, something I never thought could happen:-)

It is temporary! I take Biotin, zinc, and use Nioxon shampoo and conditioner. Myself and 4 of my friends had the sleeve, we all got thin...very thin hair and we all are having it come back, yippee
