    I am 10 weeks out. And not a single thing wrong. I am so greatful I had this surgery. My mom was the same way as your dad. I am now off all of my meds except synthroid but even that went from 150 down to 100. Good luck!

    But you're only 10 weeks and not single thing wrong YET! By week 16 you'll have polio, gout, and a touch of bird flu.

    lol has the male forum ever been the male forum?

    Well, I'm new here, and this was my first post. So I guess I'm discovering that it is apparently not. ;-)

    i've been lurking the guys room looking for the male perspective on weight loss surgery for a few years and believe me...NEVER

    LOL....that's women because I'm Polyamorous and actively practice Polyamory. And yes I have been told by a few partners that had me pre vs post surgery that they indeed noticed a difference.

    LOL......Only because I am a male, and I'm totally capable of getting multiple orgasms. Was able to do that pre-surgery and still can post surgery..........I guess not all men are created equally.

    Yes we do (bite me anyone who is offended, it is what is, you ladies get multiple orgasms, and that ticks me off, so unfair). Don't expect to see anything really substantial until month two. But that's when I went by a mirror at the mall, and flat out didn't recognize myself. That was a surreal moment.

    Lucky the woman in your life.....

    Fat stores hormones so as you lose weight it floods your system with them.

    Also all the Vitamins and other changes are a lot on your body.

    You can try this face scrub

    The facial wash and scrub, I couldn't find a picture of it alone. They have at Target's that stock a lot of products for African Americans.

    Wow that's crazy...I haven't felt much any hormone changes but my face is showing it

    Is this something that's going to last throughout the weight loss process or does the body catches up eventually?

    my face has been breaking out like crazy..i never had an issue with acne but have i struggled with shaving bumps in my younger days but figured out how to put all that behind me and recently i noticed bumps on the left side of my face only specifically

    i stopped shaving for a week and only use a facial washing product...i'm starting to chalk it up to sleeve lol...i'm two and a half months out

    has anyone else experienced this?

    Ok let's drama down a notch ....or two.

    Good suggestion.

    I remember a thread in which vets complained about newbies being "so overly sensitive". Some vets seem to be quite sensitive and easily offended, too, as I have noticed during the last weeks.

    It went from "tough love" to a dog pile

    Bacon is overrated anyway

    It's very normal to be indecisive about having a major surgery. It took me two years to make my decision. I've read the boards for a long time and decided to just go to a seminar since they are free and after that a consultation. I was convinced before that but actually starting the process clinched it. Two months later I was having surgery and two weeks later I'm making this post.

    Think about the long game. You're fortunate enough to not have any medical issues but being overweight increases the chances of them.

    I have BSBS fed. where did you see that they don't require the 90 day diet? Or is it different between Fed and non Fed?

    Thanks. Blue cross blue shield. They longer require the diet supervision so I got lucky there.

    It must be different because one of the first questions my surgeons office had me ask my insurance company was about the 90 day diet and they said that it was not required
