I have lost 76 lbs and no extra skin (yet). I think my arms will be an issue but hoping not. I run/walk 4 miles a day but recently started Crossfit to help tone and hopefully prevent extra skin. I am 39 and 6 months out from surgery

I have hypothyroidism and had the surgery 6 months ago. I have far surpassed my surgeon's expections with losing 77 lbs. I am less than 20 lbs from my goal now. My thyroid levels were consistent until recently. I figured with all the energy I have now, my thyroid would be doing better. My endo just did a full panel and said he needs to raise my meds. My hair is starting to fall out and my feet are freezing! I heard Hair loss is common at this point and I live in NC so it all made sense to me LOL.

I am 3.5 out and my eyes are STILL bigger than my stomach. I try to stop often and check myself. Burping def will let you know!

not sure how I feel about this but my doctor has a card that explains the wls and requests that these buffet type restaurants only charge a childs price.I have heard others talk about using them but not sure.

I am in Raleigh but new to the area. 5 weeks out

I cant seem to handle straight Water and nothing is ever cold enough! I live off of Vitamin zero water. I water it down a little because it has carbs but I hated g2 and sobe water. The vitamin zero tastes good and stays down. I also drink one Protein Shake a day from Syntrax Nectar choc truffle for added Protein and liquids.< /p>

My dr told me about a patient of his whose best friend brought her a double cheeseburger and fries in the hospital. She ate it and ended up being hospitalized for three weeks and still isnt right. I wonder about these stories too but people can be dumb.

I had it too. Especially trying to use that thingie. It was at least two weeks before I had clear deep breaths, i am 5 weeks out now.

I had the same problems. Mine wasnt planters fascitias. Instead I had heel spurs. I saw the xrays and sure enough I had a tiny piece of triangle shaped bone off my heel. I had to ditch all my cheap shoes and wear orthotics. I slept with a special brace called the straussberg sock ( you can order online). I had two cortisone shots and ultrasound therapy. It honestly took a year but it is better now

Anestheia can bring on your period no matter where you are in your cycle. Give it another month.

The o hers have ut right. It seems like a vaso vagel response. My husband went in for a bilateral hernia repair and this happened to him after the first two incisions and he was full of air. They stopped the surgery and rescheduled it for a few weeks later. All his cardio workups were clear. It happened again doing the second surgery but this time it was at the end. I am so sorry!

I found one on the kindle app for one called My Sleeved Life. It was cheap and informative.

My husband of 10 years is furious that I had the surgery and has been a total jerk when the subject of the surgery or food comes up. I honestly dont get his reasoning and it seems extreme and selfish. He SAYS that I didnt need the surgery and that I was selfish for having it done esp since it isnt reversible. We get along great in every other sense but not on this subject. I have lost 30 lbs so far and he says nothing. I am ready to hit my head against the wall with his stubborness.

not sure what his deal is honestly. He says he is scared I will get skinny and leave him but I think if you dont want me to leave later, then dont be a jerk now lol.

Besides what has already has been mentioned, there were three things that my surgeon said that stayed with me and led me to choose the sleeve. First, at some point the band WILL stop working. it might be 20 years from now but that was a real concern since I am in my 30's and in for the long haul. Second, there are lots of ways to cheat your band such as drinking with food to push the food thru so you can eat more. Last but prbably the most important to me, you have a foreign item in you. My husband had hernia repair with mesh. We found out three years later that the mesh had been recalled the day before surgery and his surgeon didnt know and used it. It can cause death but too risky to remove. It was an eye opener that made me scared to consider the lapband.

I have the same fear. My husband likes my curves and is being kind of a jerk since I did the surgery last month. Sigh.

I was told never but I know people do anyway. I miss diet soda. I gave it long ago but I miss it lol.

I bought Ostrim bbq sticks and it was really good. In fact I bought one stick and liked it so much that I went back to Vitamin Shoppe and bought a box of ten. GNC also has it.

I was sleeved 6/23 and told I can now start solids. Seems right.

A friend of mine sells the products as he did many other products over the two years Ihave known him. He shoves the mlm program down our thoughts. No idea if it works but the concept turned me off.

I am in the same stage as you. I think between 700 and 900 but I am not 100% on that either.
