  1. I had my surgery in Oct 2014. I get this weird pain that feels like a pulled muscle on my left side just below my ribs. At first I let it go because I was working out regularly with a personal trainer so I believed it was a strained muscle. Then it continued and I was eating a lot of peanuts so thought maybe I was having problems digesting the peanuts. Fast forward a few moths no peanuts, haven't been working out (I know I need to get back on that lol) and I still have this pain that comes and goes. Anyone else have this? Know what it could be?

  12. Yes it is. But remember when using professional products a little goes a long way. No reason a kit shouldn't last you 2 months unless you have massive amounts of hair.
  13. I myself am a cosmetologist The hair loss does come from a lack of protein on the inside. But I use nioxin 3 step kit to help. It creates a healthy environment for optimal hair growth. It will not stop it but can help prevent "fall".

  16. Dr Fernando Garcia with ready 4 a change. $4400. Absolutely wonderful experience. No major pain at all. Been very lucky.
  17. I do hair which is a physically demanding job. On your feet for hours at a time. I was back in 3 weeks. I have had an amazing experience.
  18. My Dr suggested 6 weeks. I was ready around 5 weeks.
  19. @@wannaBthinsoon They might not. I think giant eagle is a Pittsburgh based store.

  22. Mine lasted about 2 weeks. I told my myself before surgery that I knew I would fluctuate dailt as long as it wasn't more than 5lbs I would be just fine. Best advice I've ever given myself lol.
  23. You guys are in great hands. I was sleeved by Dr Garcia Oct 24 and I feel amazing! I have had no complications at all. Good luck!
  24. I was told by a nurse friend of mine people usually start noticing when you've lost about 20% of your original weight. Idk how true that is. People who know about my surgery notice but no one else has said anything to me but I've only lost about 30 lbs.
