A chiropractor I visited a few years ago recommended a powder supplement, Calm. If I remember correctly, he mentioned calcium tends to tighten muscles and magnesium will undo the effects. In addition to relaxing the muscles, it also can be used for insomnia and as a laxative.

Funny thing is, homemade eggs causes issues most days for me while eggs at restaurants do not. I'm 19 months post op.

I know the feeling you speak of. I started spin classes less than three months after my surgery and it was too much too soon.

I started out size 14/16 in March 2012. At my lowest, I dropped down to a size 4. I am now in a size 6. My goal was a size 8.

I guess my vitamin panel only included two vitamins. Oh well. That's another thing with my surgeon, he wanted to wait until a year out to do bloodwork which I found to be really odd. My family physician also completed a lipid panel since I have constant issues with cholesterol since junior high.

What in particular are tested by your surgeon during bloodwork? I thought all vitamin levels as well as protein was measured. I had my regular physician run test and they only tested my vitamin D & B12 levels which were normal. I am coming up on my year anniversary and decided not to go back to my surgeon, Dr Nicholson, for my year follow-up which would have included bloodwork. While Dr Nicholson is a phenomenal doctor, I feel my follow-ups are a waste of time for the $25 I have to pay. Plus my experience with the office staff pre-op was not the best.

I'm in Sachse & was sleeved March 7th. I was sleeved by Dr Nicholson. I love the results. Best of luck to everyone!!

Looking good!!

Congrats on the loss so far. When was your surgery? My year anniversary will be March 7th. It is unbelievable how fast time has gone by!

Looking good!!!

I am 10 months out and notice my hair thinned out a bit. I had very thick hair so not noticeable to others.

Call your doctor or PA. I was given the okay to take ambien in hospital recovery.
