  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?

    What shampoo do you use?

    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.

    What shampoo do you use?

    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".

  13. 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.

    DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA

    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!
  15. 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.

    So discouraged

    You have to think of it this way. Your body has basically been "starving" the last few weeks. Now that it is getting some fuel it's going to hold on to it for a little bit. You know in case of another fuel shortage.
  22. My doctor in Mexico put me on nexium tablets not capsules

    Juarez or Tijuana?

    I went to TJ. Had a very nice experience. Felt safe the whole time. Although I wasn't alone. One girl in our group was and we just took her in with us so she wasn't alone

    Citerra Financing- whoa!

    Can you get a co signer? I used the same company and didn't have the $2000 fee. They actually let me have 2 cosigners.
  25. Walk walk walk. I found swaying back and forth like I was hold going a baby helped better than walking sometimes
