I am 4 months out and take Biotin since surgery. My doctor told me that 1/3 of women that get WLS will lose hair due to rapid weight loss. Last week I cut my long hair due to breakage and it falling out. It will grow back though!

Peppermint tea I think it's gas!

I am losing steadily. Lost 48 in 13 weeks. My Dr. Says starvation mode is a myth. My weight has always come off easily. I am on 700-900 calories and feel great. Losing 2-4 lbs a week! My Dr. Is the Pioneer of the band in the US and trained by the designer of the band!

Definitely need a slight infill. Sometimes the smallest infill will do!

Usually happens!

I know someone who got it after WLS! Ugly scars behind the ears. Keloided!!!

So happy for you! I'm 13 weeks out and lost 47! Feels good doesn't it?

It is normal after surgery!

I would have asked how much are the fills! It's rediculous!

Everything you guys are experiencing is normal. Diarrhea cause liquid in-liquid out! Constipation due to pain meds-take Miralax! Hunger cause you're in bandster hell and restriction cause you're still swollen. This is the time to retrain the brain, the time when you rebel and show your body and mind who's the boss! The time when you become strong willed and learn portion control! You will be in bandster hell till about your third fill. If you don't do these things now along with exercise, you can gain your weight back, so be strong! You can do this!

Normal. I'm 12 weeks out and haven't stopped!

Yes! Congrats!

I got 3 ml too! Wow! 5 ml is a lot!

Hope everything went well!

It's really not that bad. I had it done with just numbing and it wasn't that bad!

Not if you're on Clear Liquids and protein! Clear= see through!

Bottom line... Don't do it! Listen to your doctor!

Miralax is non habit firming and mild. Many doctors recommend it!

It will slow down!

Did you have a hernia repair also?

If you swallow your pills and they get stuck its very painful and the acid can inflame the esophagus and then you're in trouble! I crush and my taste buds have gotten used to them!

Sounds about right!

I have never had that problem! Of course you don't want to chug down a bottle of Water because then you will have the "funnel effect!"

liquids in liquids out only on the liquid phase. Makes sense doesn't it, but you can still get constipated!

It is proven that carbonated drinks stretch the sac and the chemicals and sweeteners in "diet" soda hinders weight loss! Defeats the whole purpose!
