Hello Dr. I had my surgery a year ago and I did very well. But now I am gaining some weight back. Can I take diet pills?

I wouldn't have thought roid cream would work on the neck area.... i know women use it for dark circles and bags under the eye......
It'll be interesting to see how it all works out for ya....
Btw i havent seen your before n after pics... great work... you look awesome

I was recently having a discussion with a Personal Trainer (PT) mate of mine.
He was asking me about the changes I'd noticed with my body since losing my 230 lbs (so far)..
I told him about my 'deflated balloon belly'...
He laughed...
I told him about the 'bat-flaps' of skin under my upper arms that slap against me sometimes when I move...
He laughed...
I told him about my two sizes smaller feet...
He laughed..
The I told him about what was REALLY p*ssing me off...
My 'turkey neck'...
You see, I had a great big bullfrog type head...
Neck really...
I was one puffed-up-canetoad lookin' dude...
I mean, have a look at this -
As you can see, I've kept the beard in an effort to cover up the under-chin carry on...
Actually, that pic on the right was in October last year, so I've lost a little more from there now...
I'm in a new job now, so I'm decidedly more 'neat and tidy'..
Anyway, back to the 'roid cream thing...
My PT mate was telling me that a lot of the female body builders he knows use the 'roid cream to smooth their bits (no, not THOSE bits) when it comes to comp time...
He reckoned that if I grab a tube or two and have a crack at applying it regularly, it may just smooth and tighten my biggest uncovered embarrassment...
So, here's the sh*t -
Beginning Monday, I'll be applying the Doot Cream twice a day...
It'll be post shower in the morning and evening...
Over the weekend, I'll try to take a decent pic of the affected area...
If I can do so, I'll post it on Monday, then each Monday after I'll post updated pics to see if there's any difference...
I'll also be trying some 'neck yoga sh*t' that I just stumbled on when I googled "wobbly neck skin"...
I hope to be able to shave the beard off (or some of it) by my birthday in July (18th for all those planning gifts)...
So, if anyone is interested, stay tuned and we'll see how we go...
Of course, if anyone has already tried this, please feel free to chime in and let me know how you went...
Thanx for reading all the way to the end...
Assuming you did...

Enjoy the slow and steady loss...less skin issues. Look at @@Babbs pictures (heck blow them up on your computer screen). You will notice little noticeable lose skin.
Now look carefully at this pic...
Notice my thighs? I'm testing out at 19% body fat. Those "chubby" thighs are just excess skin that I will have to pay thousands of dollars to get removed. So better slow loss, lots of Water, Protein, stay out of hot Water and tanning beds and your skin will love you.

Well...you might like them, but...hot dogs are not considered any where near good nutrition! I know it is "American" to eat hot dogs and sugar and white flour/bread, but...this is also why Americans are so obese!
My suggestion is to select nutritious food that fuels your body in the most effective way. Go with a mostly plant-based diet! Don't be over concerned with not being able to eat unhealthy food, concentrate on eating a diet full of nutrient rich plant-based foods. Even though you've been sleeved, you can still eat junk food and you can gain weight. I think a better option is to take advantage of your awesome tool and fuel yourself with good nutrition.
That's my two cents.

I am just 4.5 weeks out. The idea of eating a hotdog again (season ticket holder for the Texas Rangers) makes me want to cry. Right now, as you guys know, there are no sandwhiches or hot dogs.
Glad to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - or better yet, a hotdog with my name on it.
GO RANGERS!
