Dr . Salzberg is an awesome doctor! Just follow everything he and his staff say and you will be fine! Good luck to you! It's an exciting journey.

Congratulations! It's a lifestyle change. Well worth it. Good luck to you and have a safe and speedy recovery

Thank you all! Yeah, I'm losing inches for sure. I was a size 18 and now I'm a 14. I bought the size 14 last week and they're already getting loose. I do need to stop weighing myself every morning. Maybe I will give the scale to one of my kids to hide lol

I am 2 months out and my weight loss has stalled out. I haven't lost anything in 2 days. I don't know what's going on. I haven't changed anything. Is or has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you do to kick it back into gear?

I get asked "why are you being so bit**y?" I honestly can't answer that. I guess my body is angry because I'm not poisoning it anymore. It's part of detoxification I assume. It's extremely annoying and not my typical personality.

I have found since my bypass I have gradually become more "moody." Has anyone else experienced this?

Thank you all for the support. I have lost 42 pounds so far and I can really tell the difference in my clothing. None of it fits anymore. So to celebrate. I'm going to buy new jeans from the women's section not the plus size for the first time in 17 years!

Thank you both for the support. Now if I can only kick the insomnia. :-/

I waited almost 2 weeks before I heard back from my insurance. Every time my phone rang I jumped. After the phone call saying I was approved it was one week later I was in the operating room. Good Luck to you!

I had the pleasure of having this team on my side when I decided to take back control of my life. They were all very attentive and thorough. Doctor Salzberg was an outstanding surgeon. I highly recommend this team when it comes to getting your weight back on track. Has anyone else had him for a surgeon?

BEWARE OF DIET DRINKS!!! I have a few friends, as well as family members who drink diet sodas because they claim it's "not as bad as the full calorie brand." WRONG! If you're going to drink a soda, drink a soda. Diet drinks contain a chemical called aspartame. Aspartame is a manufactured chemical used to "sweeten" diet foods. Just because it states it's "DIET" does not mean is good for you. IN FACT...aspartame causes formaldehyde build up in the brain as well as frontal lobe inflammation. This leads to migraines and neurological problems. Aspartame causes aberrations in your vision and loss of bone density due to the phosphoric acid as well. Sadly, drinking these "diet drinks" you end up GAINING weight. The aspartame manufactures are no better than the cigarette industries. It's designed to get you addicted at any cost. DRINK WATER...it's natural...and free! (Mostly) haha

I had surgery a little over a month ago and I've lost 36 pounds. I don't know why, but it seems less than some. How much did you loose in the first month?

It's a lifestyle change. You will have to view food in a different aspect. I still socialize only I typically will not eat. I will sip on water with a twist of lemon. If you do eat, just educate yourself on food and make a healthy choice. Personally, I have never ate to much. I've received an extreme full feeling, but I've heard it can be extremely painful and damaging. Watch the documentary called "Hungry for Change" it is on Netflix. Good Luck on your journey.

Everyone is different. Each body requires different vitamins. I take 2 Flintstones Complete Vitamins twice a day, B12 once a day and calcium once a day. However, if your iron drops, they will add iron to the regiment. Or if any other "issues" occur, they will have to add to maintain health.
