There are only a couple of people on here that have had leaks and Tiffykins is and has been here for ll of us. Stay focused on healing,sending you prayers!

I was worried and took (and still do) my Vitamins every day. It was a overall thinning that wasn't that bad accoeding to my stylist. She did advise me to go shorter. I kept up the hgihlights and within 4 months it was done. Now the short new growth drives me crazy.lol I love the shorter style and at 53 it suits me much more. You'll be fine, you have a right to be scared but you'll be fine!!!!!!!!

You're right it does come down to exercise or it did for me, You'll gwt back on track, spring is coming and it'll be good to ge out and be active. Good luck with the job situation!

1 nite for me in Houston Tx.

UNBELIVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!! What a witch, is she just pissed off at the world or jealous of your surgery. Show her girlfriend,make her see you will work your aleeve!

Maybe just call your gyn and or your surgeon,it could be your body regulating itself while in ketosis or old blood but you could ask them if it's normal, Sorry I don't have much advice but I feel your pain.

Hey There, I'm in Buna Tx. I'm about 45 minutes from Bmt Tx and 45 minutes from Lake Charles. I know I use this forum as a support group but there are others. We have 2 sleevers with 3 more coming in the next month just in our town so maybe we can get something going. The reflux does get better further out but I still have trigger foods that make me reach for PPI but I did that before surgery and the noises do settle down. When are you in chat room?

Thank you for posting this, I printed it out!

I'm 10 months out and havent seen loss in a few months, my Surgeon would like me to lose 10 more lbs, dont think it's going to happen. I have relaxed my eating some so I know I need to lose I need to burn more than I consume and I can't seem to make up my mind whether to try. Just don't give up, you can do it, warm weather is coming and you'll be able to be more active.

Pat yourself on the back, you have done amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you on a PPI?

I had UHC and they approved in a week! Did you have to go through Bariatric Resource Services? Good Luck, you'll love the sleeve!!!!!!!!!

Look how great you've done!! It doesen't hurt to sometime have a sweet, I have to say exercise was the key for me and still is. I had to walk 2 miles a day to see loss now I can walk 1 mile and stay close to where I want to be. You should be proud,just don't get discouraged, keep on keepin on!

I'm 10 months out and it's much harder to maintain than I thought it would be, I have to get myself back on track to keep the weight loss, wondering if I should lose under goal and then it would'nt bother me? Any words of wisdom?

Well my surgeon says give it a yr before any plastic surgery. You don't say how old you are? I will say my skin has tightened up amazing, and my daughter lost 126 lbs and is 18 months out, she is 28 yrs old and doesent have wrinkles. I'm 53 and have a few but they give me character. You're health will be so much better and the quality of lifw will change for the better.

I was allowd coffee @ 5 days out, I use Truvia and non fat liquid creamer or no sugar added french vanilla dry creamer. I'm 10 months out and have had no problem with it. Good luck on your surgery, you'll love the sleeve!!!

You have done amazing job with your weight loss tool!!!!!! Congratulation,

Good Luck with your surgery, you will be so successful with your tool, It's hard when you can't have a loving relationship with your inlaws. It's a constant upheaval. You sound like a sweet nice person that has tolerated too much. Hubby won't know what hit him when his beautiful wife tranforms, he wont havet time for meeting with Dad, he will want to be with you instead.

Remember you won't be able to drive for a few days, I went thu 2 boxes of popsicles.lol -I made my own broth with bony pieces of chicken (more flavorful) carrots,celery, onion. Bake it in the oven slowly then take out add Water or sodium free broth and simmer. It has way more flovor than store bought. I froze it in 2 oz containers. I also got some Japaenese onion soup (strained) and froze it. SF crystal light popsicles,jello, sf alpine cider drink mix was soothing, fruit 2o and propel. I was on clears for 8 days then mushies for 21. Remember these clears are unlimited and the fluids will help you, you can even add unflav whey Protein to broth for a little more energy. You are going to do great!! My cousin is having sleeve on March 21st, so I going to make her broth. I didn't try it but my daughters MIL made roast broth on the stove top, she said it was good. Good Luck!!!!!!!

Who told you to take the vitamins? My surgeon did bloodwork before surgery and my levels were ok, he said just keep on my 1 a day multi. If your surgeon told you to do it then by all means but your bloodwork should tell if you need more. Maybe some vetrans will chime in.

Just keep following you diet, try ont to weigh every day, Iknow it's hard. Soon you'll get on the scale and it will be down the 2 plus a couple more, there is no way you can not lose if you follow the diet guidlines. Hang in there.

My b day was 4 days post op, it was a quiet restful b-day and what a wonderful gift you got!

Grilled pork chop @ 2 months out made me feel nausea but never came up. I havent found anything I can't eat. lol

I was asked to give it two weeks after submission but at eight or nine days I caved and called snd it was approved. I went to my surgeons seminar on Feb 28th and had surgery April 29th BUT I already had my 6 months supervised diet done so that helped. Good Luck!

I weighed 250 and i don't need a tummy tuck, you need to wait a year so your skin will shribk, give it a chance and I've had 2 c-sections and a abdominal hysterectomy, this surgery was a walk in the park compared to those. Yes it's scary but if you don't take control of your health you and your family will both suffer. I was scared but it was sooo worth it.
