Good news all my blood work came back great! The Patches are working, I've been on them for two months ! I'm so happy because it's one last thing to worry about! I just had my 6 month check up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Coming up on the 6 month mark and feeling great! I'm down 73lbs! I have a lot of new found energy and have been working out like crazy. I'm been using the new Patches Vitamins because I am not good with them orally. And the gummies are too sweet. Is anyone using the patches, I go in two weeks for 6month bloodwork so I'm hoping they are working! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I go for my results this Thursday so I will let everybody know if they have been working Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The Patches are a huge life saver and great for people who have had weight loss surgery because you guys know Vitamins are so important! I'm praying they are doing their job! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah I'm curious to know what insurance covered because I want to look into a tummy tuck because that is where most of my excess skin is because that's where I carried all my weight? I know some of the info was conflicting with what insurance will pay and what I will have to cover. @@Djmohr who ever did your arms did an amazing job those will heal very nicely !!

You look amazing after your arm lift!!! Yeah most of my weight was never really in my arms so they weren't hard to tone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am having the same issue, I've been doing weight training to help tone and Im slowly seeing results, I would also talk to your doctor because some insurance companies will cover skin removal surgery. I know you probably don't want to do another surgery I don't either but just an option ! Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am eight weeks post op and have been having a lot of issues, I feel like it's one thing after another. I couldn't eat a thing the last week so my Gastro wanted to do an endoscope yesterday and found an ulcer. I'm really upset because I am even more limited to food choices and can't seem to even keep down Protein shakes because of the location of the ulcer. Has anyone else experienced this ? Thank you !

Thecloude1: that's exactly how I felt, I was doing fine with introducing new foods and then one day I could barely have liquids without discomfort. If it doesn't get better in the next few days I would suggest you call your gastro and have them do an Endoscope. That's how they found mine and since being on Medicine I feel much better!

I had my surgery on Feb 29, and the first two weeks were really difficult because I had interior sutures and they were so painful not even painkillers helped. I wanted to see if anyone else had issues with pain. Everything else is going okay, the pain has gotten better but for that time it was unbearable. My mom is having the surgery but now she is terrified after seeing how much pain I had at 25 years old. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes I'm sure it wasn't gas pain because I was very good about taking the gas-x strips right after surgery and moving around. My doctor is the one who told me it was the sutures because there was a issue during surgery with my intestines and said they I would experience pain for 4-6 weeks from them.
