Ugh..I went to my doctor for a referral she had on a pair of Nike and she advised me to never walk barefoot at home and wear comfort shoes...I am a bit pissed but I will deal with it for another week or so and then see her again.:-/

It's ok...when you discuss the surgery...you simply tell him Bypass...if he asks why .Tell him it's the procedure "You" want.All around me others were getting the sleeve.Thats great for them.I wanted bypass and I am 3 months post op and no problems .I still have my sleep apnea machine ...mainly because my sinuses and it helps me sleep but I am very happy with my decision.It's right for me.

Fantastic!!!!!You look great!

Incredible!!!!!Congratulations!

Congratulations you look great!

Fantastic! Hop to it!

I told my surgeon that bypass was what I wanted and that's it.They like to do the sleeve because it's easier.I have a lot of weight to lose and the band was the "IT" procedure at the time and it was a failure and messed up my stomach and other organs.I developed Gerd and Esophagus torture.I had the revision to the "Gold Standard" RNY on December 28,2015.I have not dumped once and my acid reflux is gone.I feel great.I take my vitamins and although I am a slow loser because of my PCOS and sluggish thyroid issues I have lost 40 pounds so far....and feel great.I made the right decision .Once the cut out 80% of your stomach.Thats it....By the way my friend had the sleeve and she has complications...vomiting and bad indigestion.Do what you know works.You don't want to have regrets later down the road.

OMG.I am experiencing this as well.Going to have a blood test.I must be deficient in something... Left side

I drink it faithfully.No problems and it is the best tasting drink so far.30 grams of protein

I get it from time to time...I have to watch spicy foods...and because I am eating very little carbs I have to be mindful to keep myself alkaline. Smoothies or protein shakes with coconut or almond milk helps

I am eating Paleo...I am following a ketone if diet...Mmm...I am constantly showering. Ketogenic diet

I am eating clean.Nothing processed.No sauces,No sugar ,healthy food.Eggs,fish,nuts,lean cuts of meat or chicken.Soups that I make are examples.

I had the lapband with her at the time 15 years ago .It was my decision to go with the band .She performs all WLS procedures.I just had a revision to RNY in December 2015 but with a new surgeon. Very competent Doctor

I am 3 months post op.I still smell it.

At the time she was at Lenox Hill then NYU medical center and I heard she now has her own practice.

She is fantastic.She is well known.She was my first surgeon 15 years ago.

It's happening to me and I am very depressed about it.

CowgirlJane,Jintycb Ahh both..I am post breast cancer...neuropathy...burning....yes and my left foot becomes an issue when I walk..plantar fasciitis .Sometime just laying in bed I get a stinging pain ...in my foot...thanks...it is a bit much coupled with hair loss and this special smell I have developed.Thanks...

I use coconut oil but the only way to get rid of the smell is to bathe or shower frequently.I moisturizer in coconut oil as well.

I revised to the Bypass....So happy!

Fantastic!!!Congratulations!!!

I am 3 month post up.All is fine except the fact that my feet .Burning and aching.It is constant.Anyone having this issue?

I am 3 month post op...I smell ...plain and simple.Its not a great smell .I "have to take showers at least 2 times a day.

Thanks...water is a struggle...will increase and buy bio oil as well.

I have PCOS and am losing slowly but I am so glad to see the scale going in the right direction instead of upwards for a change...patience is the key...cut out as much carbs as possible.
