Nerve damage
Alexandria Hashagen replied to crazedteacher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Probably about 5 weeks until it completely went away. -
Nerve damage
Alexandria Hashagen replied to crazedteacher's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had that same burning feeling. My surgeon said it was normal. That's where most of the work was done. It does go away with time. -

Women and Hormones...
Alexandria Hashagen replied to sleevemeup's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was pretty emotional for the first week. I cried about everything. I'm only 2 weeks out but it's better. My face has cleared up. I was breaking out all the time. Now I have no pimples at all. I haven't noticed any smells. I hope I don't smell. -
I've been on Phentermine several times and each time I did get moody and very emotional. I was able to lose weight on them, but as soon as I went of them and the appetite returned I gained again. How long have you been on them?

Alexandria Hashagen replied to droppingitlikeitshot75's topic in Food and Nutrition
I'm going to try this. Sounds so good. -
I had my surgery on Jan 16th and I would say about 3-4 weeks. I am almost 2 weeks out and still very sore.

If One More Person!
Alexandria Hashagen replied to libra_lisa's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have heard all of this as well. I was 212 when I went for my consult. So I heard and still hear that this was not necessary, and if I had just set my mind to it and worked hard I wouldn't have had to take the "easy way out" I have stopped trying to defend my decision. I just tell people it's not their business. -

St. Lukes Hospital In Allentown Pa Anyone?
Alexandria Hashagen replied to vbgirl264's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had mine done at Geisinger in Danville PA. A friend of my moms had hers done at St Lukes and said the care was excellent. -
Why RNY and not the sleeve?
Alexandria Hashagen replied to lisaarellano's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I was interested in the sleeve, but I have issues with reflux, and my Dr told me that it would get worse with the sleeve. Also there is a higher success rate with RNY. So that's why I chose to have the RNY. -
3 days post-op: How do I get everything in?
Alexandria Hashagen replied to Catgyrl68's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was Jan 16th and I'm having a hard time getting my protein and water in too. I sip all day and still just can't seem to get it all in. -
Stomach growling
Alexandria Hashagen replied to cmbd's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 4 days post op and my stomach is so loud. My kids think it's hysterical. -
Any one have surgery with a starting bmi around 35
Alexandria Hashagen replied to marypip's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My bmi was about 37 the day of surgery. Insurance covered it because I also have sleep apnea. -
January 16 nervous and excited!????
Alexandria Hashagen replied to tsxo821's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My date is the 16th as well. I'm nervous and excited. I can't wait. -
My name is Alexandria. I'm scheduled for surgery on Jan 16th. I'm really excited but a little nervous as well. I started my liquid diet today. I didn't have any problems with hunger. Hopefully the next 2 weeks will go as well. Looking forward to talking to everyone!

I am selfish...possibly for the first time in my life.
Alexandria Hashagen replied to douchewafflebear's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have said that 2013 was MY year. I chose to have this surgery for ME as well. And being a mom of 3 and a wife, and always doing for someone else, I deserve to do something just for me. -

Who are you telling before surgery?
Alexandria Hashagen replied to BustedBeauty's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told my sister, my mom and my 2 close friend, and of course my husband. Everyone is very supportive with the exception of my mom. She knows someone who had it done and 'it didn't work' for her. Well I also know this person and she doesnt follow her post op diet do she gained a lot of weight back. -
So I have a question.
Alexandria Hashagen replied to Ab1986's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told no lifting for 2-4 weeks.
