Completely the norm After 7 days just take a dose of milk of magnesia It works in about 3 hours for us sleevers

I remember seeing that post as well I can't seem to find it now Making an appointment with neurologist would be a good idea

Please keep us updated on how you're doing... Hoping this resolves quickly for you

It's definitely a sink or swim scenario we are thrown into! It has forced me to face so many issues that I blocked out with food. Just another reason I wish I had done this sooner...here I am in my forties getting my self together. I would have loved to be in this place in my 20's or 30's

Hehe Love it

My stomach has always been my problem area. Arms and legs were always the last to gain. I know how you feel, it is frustrating. A perfect outfit is easily ruined by the excess and I'm afraid to even see what a bathing suit will look like. Yikes

((My arms and legs are getting pretty thin, still lots of residual fat in my abdomen. Not sure how much of that I can actually lose and how much is just going to stay forever. LOL. Surely it will go away eventually!)) That's exactly how I feel... Not sure how much more weight I can lose in my arms and legs but grrrrr this excess skin is hanging onto some padding that's for sure. It sure doesn't feel like its "just skin"

The best way to measure your loss is in percentage lost til you hit goal. Measuring in lbs and comparing to others seems to make people feel they are slow losers.

It's a very serious decision. Yes this surgery is life saving but it is major surgery. You really have to decide as an individual what is best for you. I was so sick I wasn't doing anything but dying, living was hard. Now I have my life back. I am forever thankful.

Adding ground beef or sausage to the ricotta bake sounds good. I'm going to do that

My drs goal was 130 and I've met that but i really would feel healthier at 120 so I'm still doing the program to get me there. As long as your following the plan to lose... It can happen

Hmmm ok well that's different than mine I'm not sure

All of mine have that as well. It never went away just hard little knots under each scar.

Oh wow

What is gastroperiesis

Wow beautiful before and after You look like a model for real Are you a model? You should be Great job!!

The band has caused really bad complications. But there in we have seen horrible complications arise from leaks with VSG. I see your question but I'm not sure theres an answer... I think only time will tell

Woohoo you're ready to hit the clubs now!! Full night of dancing!!!

I'm sorry you are going through this... What is your diagnosis and what about prognosis? How long have you been dealing with this? Do they know what is causing this? I can't imagine

Keeping you in my prayers! Congrats

I paid so much for mine I was kinda mad I broke up with it lol No, I was glad but boy it cost a lot

I had my surgery in may but it feels like yesterday. I'm not a vet or a new person. I'm just me on my journey... Trying to live it the best I can...hopefully I do it right but lord knows I'm not perfect or I wouldn't be human. If I can help someone else on this journey and find support on mine then I am happy.

I know it's frustrating trying to pin point what it is after surgery. I remember my body hurting all over during the rapid weight loss period. It seems my muscles were trying to adjust along with the weight distribution. I would still call your surgeon just so they can make an assessment. I just worry for people about their water intake because I still have problems getting my fluids in and my kidneys paid the price. Definitely keep up with fluids
