This was recently but here's a ONEderland shot!

for years I would not get a period took me sometime to figure her out but what i came up with as long as i stayed over 250lb she would not visit but the moment i got under that number here she comes as if someone called her up imagine how pist i was when i figured her out but just to be on the safe side and everweek they r coming up with new side effects and problem call your doc make appt and just c and keep a eye on it and ask is your birth control still being effective because imagine my surprise that soon after i found out i was preg and needed someone to explain to me the nature laws again

Hey everyone! Well, it's official....I was sleeved on Friday march 1st. To be honest, I was not expecting to be in the amount of pain that I am in. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. The first 36 hours I was needing my pain med, dilaudid, every 2 hours :-( The morphine they tried first wasn't even touching my pain! After the first 36 hours they started me on the liquid lortab. It helps but I'm still in pain. Besides my abdominal pain I have had this horrible back pain. They did some additional blood work to see of I had postop pancreatitis. Thank goodness everything was fine there! Thankfully, I haven't had too much nausea! I'm hanging in there and I know that it will keep getting better day by day!

hahaha....bahahahaha....
Im a midwife so I am kind of orientated to that area!
Women come in SO many shapes and sizes that it is hard to respond. BUT if you lose weight (particularly with extra skin left over) it will hang about. This occurs on the PUDENDA (the outside bits) too....I am not so much talking about the inner labia but more the outer meaty bits can be more hangy. Interestingly the word pudenda means SHAME in latin). However, having said this many many skinny woman have hangy outy bits. EVERYTHING is pretty much normal in womens genitals..I have seen it all. AND, to top it off most women are embarrassed and think they are abnormal if they don't look like 10 yr olds. Its sad really. Most girly bits are misshapen, slightly discoloured, somewhat hairy, somewhat hangy...... nothing like what we think everyone else looks like.
I like the name FUPA.....must remember that!

Hello October sleevers!
My surgery date was October 22, 2012. I am down 68.5 pounds. I'm quite happy with my loss considering that I hate drinking Water and I haven't been exercising. I am suffering with a bone spur on my left heel and can't walk and can't take most meds. Other than my heel, I am feeling great I would recommend it to anyone. (well, anyone that needs to lose a considerable amount of weight)

I was just sleeved last week, but I am looking forward to the skinny sex hubby and I had 10 years ago!!! Kudos to you and your hubby for getting in!!!

I am losing quite a bit of hair. I have been adhering to all of the Protein and Vitamin guidelines, yet still experiencing loss. Seems like the majority of the loss is volume but there is some breakage so most likely I may be cutting it off and starting from scratch. I frequent the salon bi-weekly and have had protein and moisturizing treatments, and nothing has stopped the loss. I did speak with my PCP and checked blood panel and everything is normal, she seems to think that it is just part of the rapid weight loss. I will be seeing a dermatologist tomorrow so I'll keep you posted. It is what it is, It certainly isn't the worst thing that has happened in my life and may be just part of the process.....it's just hair and it will grow back. I hope you will be ok.

Congrats Holly and Imworthit on your weight loss!!! I too am finally down to onederland as of today!!! Woot Woot!! Im down 68 lbs!!!

I, too, am always cold and I noticed this immediately after I got home from surgery. It will be interesting to see what effect this will have on me come summer. I hate the heat and I hate being hot and sweaty. When friends want to go do stuff in the summer my response was always, "No thanks, it's too hot." Maybe it won't be like that anymore!

You look great!!!

Beauty and Petra CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You can gain and lose up to about 5 pounds in one day. Defiantly ditch the scale. Go by your clothes. That's how I did it. I weighed only once a month after I figured this out. On the clothes I know that when I started I was a size 24-26 and now I am in a 10! Don't need a scale to tell me that I lost a person! Lol

After losing 50 lbs I feel absolutely amazing ..I have 50lbs more to lose!

Hey there! I'm a 10/11/12 sleever and down a total of 79 pounds since highest (56 post-op) and made it to "one-derland" today! Soooo happy! Time to go down a jean size (finally! From size 18 to 16 took a huge weight loss to do it! Strange how some sizes go fast and others take a larger loss to get to. I guess that's why loss of inches is sometimes more important than the numbers on the scale.)

Hey guys 10/18 here down 73 lbs from my highest weight! Feeling great weight loss has definitely slowed down but I'm still losing

Beauty I know you got your approval!!! Congratulations!!!!
