  12. I believe both surgeries remove the hormone, but remember it will return. I seen it return faster w/ the sleeve. I started wanting the Sleeve but changed my mind after I finished my 6 month supervised visits. The Bypass was a better option for me. Have you tried speaking to your surgeon? What is his recommendation?

  16. I agree I only wanted to do the WLS once and the Bypass have a better long-term successful rate. Now I would say if I could do it again I would probably go with the DS. The rate is even better and I like the malabsorptive part of it.
  17. I'm almost a year out and I'm still only eating 1000 calories 40-55g carbs and 80-90g of protein per day. Since working out opens your appetite I usually up my protein on those days per my NUT. Have you been experiencing a stall? You could be eating too much but I would speak to your NUT for advise.
  18. My team cannot provide a reason for the hair loss. It varies, but I agree check your levels or just try taking another supplement for the hair loss.
  19. I don't think vitamins have anything to do with it. I have been taking my vitamins daily and protein since day 1 and my hair still thinned out.
  20. Was 169 your GW or was that the GW your surgeon recommended? I'm 177 now but feel like I have to get down to 160 to at least explore plastics. I feel like I haven't lost enough yet.
  21. No I'm old school I'm good with a joint or blunt. I still smoke and had no problems since. I gave it a break to be sure I completely healed after surgery and no my doctor team does not know. I told the I smoked cigarettes, which I have never touched in my life. Not a fan.
  22. Hi Existentialfatty, I'm almost 11 months out and I am also a recreational smoker. I took a break post-of for 2 months.
  23. It can vary for each individual, but yes dumping can be in the form of diarrhea, vomiting, shakes, sweats, cramping/pain, rapid heartbeat, etc. It happened to me a few times when I had some hot chocolate. Now I try to dilute with water and drink only half of the cup.

  25. Did they give you a belly button?
  26. Congrats! I also want the panni done but I want to wait till I reach goal.
  27. I agree, I also went back and forth but ultimately went with Bypass. I wanted to lose as much as possible and it is gold standard. I seen too many issues w/ the sleevers along with the revisions.

  30. I've been single for over 5 years now and never really thought about dating. I am pretty content but people has been asking and I'm wondering if maybe I should give it a shot.
