  1. Omg. I wasn't feeling better for bout 8 days after surgery....I just wanted to sleep..I was in pain...I honestly don't think you'd feel up to it..but yet again everyone is different. Just don't over do it.
  2. Since Monday I've been exhausted..really bad back pains and headaches. I went to the doctor yesterday and they said that my urine came back that I was dehydrated that my urine did not have one drop of water in it. I've been running a fever all week too...but I've been having stomach pains..on about 7 months post op. They feel like someone punched me right in the stomach..if u press down its tender.I can't lay on my side. I've also for the first time since surgery had horrible heartburn they fixed my hernia during surgery..I was told he didn't put mesh in...so I hope it did slip in again cuz when I eat or drink the pains come back bad. I also hope there's no leak! I just hope they can find out cuz fever usually means infection and I was checked for uti's and all!!!
  3. Yes. They are completely normal...I've had ton of stalls. I've had some from 3 weeks to 2 months. Don't be discouraged...its just ur body catching up. I patiently waited and I've made it under 200 now...but I had to be patient...you'll get there....
  4. My Surgery was October 9th 2012...my highest weight was 300...day of surgery I was 267...I'm now 198...so I've lost a 102lbs...70 from surgery,33 from pre-op. So I know I'm only 6 months post op..but with my loosing 102 lbs already..I gotta start researching the skin removal. I still have at least 48 lbs to go..but I need to make sure I can do it. I read that most insurance companies don't pay for it...but I also heard they will pay for it if there's a medical reason. Which im only looking at getting my stomach done...I get rashes...I lost most weight in my stomach. My face too but that went back to normal!!! Im gonna talk to my new doctor and see and hopefully the insurance will pay for it. Also I read that u have to wait 2 years before you get it to make sure your not loosing more weight. What if I'm done way before that!?!? Can I get it before!
