Hey, I was sleeved 4 mths ago and have just started having some dizzy spells a good bit. It happens almost everytime I stand up. I havent called the Doc yet but its been happening for about 2 days now. Anyone else experienced this?

I was sleeved May 7th. That is completely normal. It will get better!! I still have some reflux but not half as bad as it was the 1st and 2nd month. I panicked 2 but I promise, it gets better.

I was sleeved on May 7th. I can only eat about 3 small bites at a sitting and that is mainly meat, cheese or veggies. I am getting all my protein in and taking my vitamins so I feel healthy so far. I am loosing hair and that has me concerned but reading other post, I am praying for that to stop very soon. Good Luck!!

Praying for you this morning. I think those mixed emotions are completely normal. I am almost 4 mths out and wouldnt trade it for the world. I am now 66 lbs down and you are gonna do the same. Keep us updated when u can.

Thanks everyone! I will give her all this info. It is greatly appreciated.

Hey, I am a May Sleever but I have a friend that is looking for a resonable but great Doctor to do her sleeve? Any self pay patients have any places she can check in to? The prices around here is around 19,000.

Just wondering if there is anyone from SC that has been or is going to be sleeved. Who did you use? I was sleeved Myrtle Beach by Morris J. Washington MD. He is AMAZING!!!

Thanks so much to all of you!!! Any words of wisdom is appreciated. I will try all of this. Good Luck to all of you on your continued life changing journey.

Yay!! It will get better. Everyday gets better for me and hope the same for you.

September 7th will be 4 mths for me and within this past week, I have started losing my hair. I am panicking!!! I get 60 grams of protein in a day, I have started taking Biotin an just ordered the hair therapy Nioxin. I really pray this works for me. I have not had any problems at all other than acid reflux and now the hair thinning. It has me Trippin out!!

Well, that is great to hear. I have just started getting the shots. Thanks so much. I am willing to try anything.

Heartburn has been a killer for me. Sep 7 will be 4 mths since my surgery and some days are worse than others. Dexilant is what I was on an it did not help. I am now on nexiam and it seems to be helping a little more. Tums are also my best friend. I will take this over being 233 again anyday. Hope all of you find relief soon.

U look Amazing!!! Congrats

All, I am almost 4 months out and I am just noticing my hair getting thin. Its really making me nervous. I am getting about 60 grams of protein in a day an just started on Biotin. Any more advice???

You will have mixed feelings. I think that is normal when it comes down to Surgery time. I started thinking of all the what ifs but it didnt add up to all the struggling I went through on all the different diets that you can possibly think of. I am almost 4 mths out and it was the best decision ever. I started at 233 and I am down to 167 today. Its Awesome!!! The first couple days are a little tough but so worth it. You can do this!!! Prayers your way!!

This is alittle off but how do I get a pic on my profile?

I was sleeved May 7th and I am 66 lbs down. I am doing great but still have some things to learn. How is everyone else doing?

My Doctor told me 6 weeks out. Most people are good. I am sure that some have problems but that is part of the risk we all take. I am 3 1/2 months out and its the best decision I could have made. I have no regrets!! Good Luck Girl!! Dont let anyone make you nervous. We are all different.

I am 3 1/2 months out and I have lost 66 lbs. Protein is the answer. If your weight loss slows down, pick up on your protein intake. I try to atleast get 60 grams in a day. I can tell when I dont drink it because the scale dont move but when I do... I can loose atleast 5 lbs a week easy.
