I have intractable vomiting after my sleeve surgery. I vomit 10-20 times a day, every day for nearly 5 years. I have had 4 years of being rejected by surgeons for any type of surgical fix due to complications of my previous sleeve- including a stroke caused by severe dehydration. all surgeons report bypass is my only fix but no one has wanted to touch me. I have finally found a surgeon willing to try to fix me. has anyone else had similar issues and did bypass help resolve them?

My hairstylist did recommend the Biotin and not the shampoos. But she said that the biotin makes ALL your hair grow, not just the hair on your head. So be prepared. I am doing a lot of plucking and tweezing, for starters.

OMG. I'm so glad I'm not the only one with the pre op jitters. Good luck to all the upcoming surgeries. I'm a much better nurse than patient. If one more skinny person tells me I should "try" eating less and exercising more instead of having surgery- I just may scream.

I can't believe that June 23rd has come so fast. I am ready, but still a good amount of nerves have set in.
I have had SO little in the way of calories and nutrients over the past week. My appetite has just completely vanished on the 2 wk pre-op diet and it has been very hard to intake anything. I've had mostly shakes, and now I"m hoping I haven't ingested so little that i will be in trouble. Good news is today I get to have REGULAR juices, popcicles, etc to carry my blood sugar through tomorrow.
I know that there is a religious board, but there is very little activity on there. I would like to ask those who are so inclined to keep me in your thoughts, prayers and such over the next few days.
I will see everyone over on the post-op board!!!!!
