I wouldn't be nervous about not getting a response. You can research DR on healthgrades.com, vitals.com, obesityhelp.com to name a few. You can also google to get the physician look up web address for TN, you can search any doctor check their education, experience, any complaints, etc. I don't live in TN but my state has a website for that so I'm sure other states do too.

Thanks!!!!! Good luck on your journey. Be blessed. It really is a blessing

Down 140lbs sleeved August 26, 2014

CONGRATS!!!!!

You are a Rock Star!!!!!

Great to hear everyone doing great!!!!! I'm doing great also 17 lbs down from month 6-9 but fought for every pound. Anyone have any strategies to speed weight loss?

Hi glad to here about your progress. HW 342 SW 300 CW 228 SD 08/26/14. I had a long stall too from December to early February. My labs were great at my 6 month check up. I am going on a work trip this week and I have a bunch of office attire that I bought years ago too small. I bought it too small with hopes of fitting them soon. They fit!!!!! From size 22/24 to 14/16 so far. I can't wait to see my colleagues that I haven't seen for a while. I am so glad I decided to improve my life. I Hope everyone else is doing great.

50lbs down since surgery couldn't be happier

Galaxy girl... I've been wearing alot of yoga pants lol. I think they will get me almost to goal

What is dh

Hi Karen... You may not need a psychologist but it couldn't hurt. They could give you some additional tools. Our sleeves help with the physical aspect, so if you do decide to talk to someone it will add to what you already have.

Ruskati the stall will break they always do

Sleepy time tea is great

Mine look good. If I touch it I feel the knots like Pat.

I'm now 2 1/2 weeks post op... My obsession has not stopped. I'm always on Facebook WLS groups and YouTube. Did you guys know there is an annual WLS conference in CA. And an east coast meet up every year, this year was Atlantic City. I don't know location for next year but I'm going!!!!!

Mskiesha... I kept dropping everything for like 2 weeks

Sleeved August 26. No issues. Going to start working out tomorrow. 14 lbs down. I'm hoping exercise will help.

Motherof5... If any of your kids are old enough put them on floor duty. I have s 13 year old she's my temporary maid through this process lol

You can add Mio liquid enhancers to greek yogurt... I haven't tried sugar free strawberry preserves, sounds good.

Had my one week follow up today, everything went great. Ordered a Ninja from qvc... Can't wait to use it. I have a Vitamix but the Ninja has those to go cups that make it convenient to make smaller portions. Been walking a lot but feeling tired today... I'm just gonna relax. How are you guys doing.

I'm pre op 7 days and all leg & ankle swelling gone also. I was curious if I may be dehydrated also. I did get a lot of fluids in the hospital & I am doing good with fluids at home. Reading all of these posts puts me at ease. I get the feeling we all will have to get accustomed to hearing good news in regards to our health!!!!!

Following

Hi Sandi... I don't think dehydration would cause a racing heart or the shakes. Dehydration symptoms include dark urine, head ache, muscle cramps, etc. You should call your doctor's office, I wouldn't self access so soon after surgery. May not be serious but better safe than sorry...

3K steps at the mall today based on my fitbit... Will try again tomorrow, one step at a time. What I have noticed already is that I am being patient with myself. Before surgery if I worked out I would only feel like I was making progress if I was doing something high impact like the elliptical or spin class, and my diet would be drastically low, then I would fall back into old habits anyway. After surgery I'm willing to take my time... Seems like their is less pressure...

I know exactly what you mean, I'm freezing. I think I'm gonna go to the mall today with my sister to walk. I'm getting stir crazy in the house. I go back to work 09/22 so I wanna heal ASAP so I can enjoy my time off.
