I Sleevers - I am moving to Denver from California and am looking for a support group. Will be in the Lakewood area. Any suggestions?

Doing great, thanks, Reached my goal and am working hard to stay at it! How are you doing?

I am in Northridge - I was sleeved 8/19/2011

I have lost more than half my hair - which thank g-d was thick to start with. I am almost a year out, have reached my goal and an still loing hair. I am thinking of hair extension just to make it thicker looking. Feeling a little vain though, maybe I shouldn't!

I was instructed by my doctor, I have religiously taken my multi vitamin with Iron (Flintstones Chewables), my sub lingual B-12 (2500 mg) and my Calcium Citrate daily since surgery so we can't figure out what is going on! Lots of testing......Thanks for the responses.

Hi all Has anyone been diagosed with Peripheral Neuropathy post gastic sleeve? I am eight months out and have lost 98 pounds. I now have total numbess and an inability to move my toes in my right foot. I have been ready this diagnosis is common in gastic bypass patients, but I can't find anything regarding sleeved patients. Very scary, going through extensive diagnostic testing. Thanks for any input.

Hi I was sleeved on August 19th - I luckily have never gained. I am 14 lbs from my goal.

I was sleeved on August 19, 2011. I have lost 77 pounds and am 20 pounds from my goal and the scale will not move UGH. Suggestions?

I hired a personal trainer who I see twice a week, the other 4 days I either walk on the treadmill or ride the stationary bike for 45 minutes. The weight training has made all the difference in the world in the way my body looks.

Sleeved August 19th - 62 pounds lost

I was sleeved August 19th, I have lost 62 pounds. You should never feel like a failure. You are less than when you started. Everyone's weight loss is different. Are you exercising enough? Getting enough calories and protein each day?

Are you exercising? Try and get in at least 30 minutes of walking everyday. It makes a bit difference.

I only had sashimi so no problems. I haven't tried any rice yet.

I had some really good soups from Trader Joes....Sweet Potato Bisque and Roasted Corn

Awesome - that is exactly what happened to me today. I too started at 237 - lost 3 more pounds over the weekend, to enter Onederland today and am now at 199 for a total of 38 lbs lost since August 19th surgery !!! Yay us! keep up the good work.
