Keep us posted...sending positive thoughts and prayers up!

My surgeon had advised me if I need contrast/barium for testing that I would drink less than normal. Can you call your bariatric surgeon and ask? I'm hoping we can still contact them for help even after a year. I'm only 5 months but I ask them everything.

Doxie- I'm glad you're okay!! Falls can be bad I stepped in a small hole while walking in my neighborhood, when I was at my highest weight, and fell so hard. I was hurt but so embarassed I got up and hobbled home. My entire body hurt for days!

Congrats!!! Thats a great feeling Love it <3

Hey ms skinniness Is the general surgeon a bariatric surgeon as well? I really think you should feel good about your surgeon. You want to feel comfy with communication about what's going on with your body. I wish u the very best!!!

I went from 8 1/2 to 7 1/2 My feet swelled a lot before, my fingers too. My rings are all huge on me now and had to buy new shoes

4alongerlife- you are so strong! And woohooo rockin' the size 6!!! That's got to feel amazing!!! I hope your days are getting better and you will remain in my prayers

I'm confused, what does being fat or not fat have to with someone's opinion? -__- I'm pretty sure everyone was just expressing their opinion.

Fiber is a great remedy but make sure you are definitely drinking your water. If you are feeling uncomfortable then I would suggest milk of magnesia but stay by the restroom because it works within about 2-4 hours (with the sleeve its much faster)

You're doing fantastic pretty lady! Congrats!!!

So I'm looking pretty good in my clothes... I'm happy... Then I strip off my clothes... Ok I'm not looking very good lol Geez the loose skin makes me feel like I'm wearing a rubber suit -__- I pray this gets better before next summer or ill be getting looks not from being sexy but silly... Yikes

Ready4success- I saw someone I hadn't seen in about a year and she looked at me, looked again and stumble on "you, you, you (staring at me) got highlites!" I smiled and said Yup I've had lost 70lbs since I saw her last hehe

I just say, "weightloss? Oh no, I just got a new haircut...makes me look slim! Ok that's not true lol

Chad, so happy you're doing well!! I feel the same, very glad for the help here

You can still follow your restrictions and you will probably do well since you are use to eatting high protein. I think you will do very well. Congrats on your surgery!! I just love the website Yourlighterside.com

I agree!!

Shakes my head @ O.T.R. ) You're funny lol

Okay call me over protective but what about her safety while your not with her? Or if complications should arise will she be okay to handle what she needs to do for herself alone? Idk, most people do tell me I'm over protective so who knows

There ya go

Milk of magnesia

The one day I don't log on and I miss the vsg'ers gone mad lol

Best wishes See ya on the bench ))

Hey Kat, are they going to check your stomache to rule out any problems like stricture or leak? I hope you get to feeling well soon but definitely have them run tests if u don't start feeling better.

Look at the number of bariatric doctors in the US and the number in Mexico. I believe the leak ratio is due to the enormous amount of bariatric drs in the US. I could be wrong. Just a thought.

The threads sticking out will eventually fall off. Had those too... I was like Hmmmmmm what the heck are these lol
