I don't have RA but I have lupus another autoimmune disorder. Had surgery in Oct 12 I've been off my lupus meds since. My labs have been normal and lesser episodes of joint pain.. surgery or should I say weight loss helped control my lupus best thing I ever did..

Sleeved 10/12 down 76 lbs!! never been this happy!!!

Amen!!!

This is sad... my heart goes out to his family. May the Lord be with him family in this difficult time....

Premier protein shake for me!! taste good...all 3 flavors!

I have special k every once in a while with silk soy milk!

Had the same thing 1 month post op.. my doc said it was lack of water and protein...

Thanks! Just signed up...

Sounds like a boil or cellulitis/abscess developed. See ur doc asap.. hope it gets better soon...

That is sooo true!! If you notice they are the same people!!

Not doing it sooner.. 3 months out and 50 lbs down since surgery. i've had a smooth recovery. My sleeve doesn't like grease, spicy, and beef, banana, anything citrus.. other than that i can tolerate it. This procedure has been the greatest blessing for me

My pelvic bone!! Lol...

What a very informative post! Ever since after surgery i have not had a good night sleep without taking sleep aid thats OTC. If i dont i wake up every 2-3 hrs a night i dont want to take prescription sleeping pills... hopefully its gets better with time.

Sleeved Oct 10. Height 5'0, HW: 320, SW: 279, CW: 230. Top size XL from 3X, pant size 16/18 from a 24/26... getting my protein and fluids in... i have eaten some of the "bad stuff" fried food, cookies, sweets, etc... but over all i eat healthy and follow the diet. Don't really exercise extensively but i do walk for an hour every other day and do light weights... my hair is falling out though luckily i have long hair just started taking biotin this week so hopefully it works.. getting the sleeve is the best thing i ever did for myself...

Im so trying this tonight.. had the one from apple bees it was good but too greasy...
