Just wanted to share this pic with the intent I can encourage someone today..

My hair falls out when I wash it. I take Biotin faithfully and try to only wash it twice a week.

I eat what I want but in smaller portions

Thank you

I did for about a month. I'm not at this time. I hate to admire that part. I do have a lot of loose skin that bothers me..

I call them boils. Not sure what the proper medical term would be. However, if it gets worse and doesn't burst on its own, you will have to go see a physician and he will put a pin in it.

Eventually. It will burst on its own. Sometimes, laying a hotttt rag on it will bring it a head where you can more easily bust it or it may burst on its own from the heat.

Sharing these pics with the intention they encourage someone about the procedure.. I was sleeved August 22, 2012. I weighed 292 lbs at the age of 24. I was wearing a 3XL in shirts and 24 in pants. 5 1/2 months later, I weigh 209, wear a 10 in pants, and a medium in shirts! Tell me who wouldn't wanna look better and feel better. Tell me what y'all think.

OMG! You look amazing !!! Keep it up

Just a little encouragement for all you new sleevers.. I was sleeved August 22nd and have lost 60 lbs. I went from a 24 in pants to a 16. From a 3XL in shirts to a L

I have went from a 24 to a 16 In pants From a 3x to an XL in shirts and can wear a L in tshirts

Both of these are before These are after.. I was sleeve 8/22. Keep it up y'all! It's really worth it.

3 weeks post op 34 lbs down

I'm 2 weeks post op and my stomach makes crazy noises too. Matter of fact it's doing it now

I have never heard of truvia but I will look into that! Thanks for all the replies! I love this support group I'm 2 weeks post op and I've lost 24 lbs so far

I'm 2 weeks post op. I can't get down even half the amount of fluids required

I understand that I am not to have sugar and drink sweet tea. However, if I'm drinking 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweet tea, where's the harm? I need honest opinions bc that's the only thing I can keep down !

Vomiting is a sign of a leak. I would get with my surgeon immediately.
