Going to the emergency room finally
They gave me fluids and sent me home, told me to just see my surgeon Monday because there was nothing they could do. I am so frustrated I am crying right now. I don't understand why anyone won't help me.

Going to the emergency room finally
I called my doctor again to let him know I threw up blood and he still said see him on Monday. Its time to disobey his orders. I'll keep you all posted. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Does anyone find they can tolerate things more after their surgery?
Not food but things like people, places and things? I'm just curious. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Anyone in Japan?
Honestly, it is not the best place to go for surgery. I had a friend go for surgery and she got a bad infection. You would probably just have to bite the bullet and have surgery either in your country, America or the UK. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App Seriously? First of all, I know how to do my research and that kind of attitude is not welcome. Thousands of people go to Mexico every year for surgery and don't have any problems. People get infections in the US too. Secondly, don't assume that everyone is from the UK or the US here, or are covered by insurance. First of all, please calm down because I never said you didn't know how to do your research. Second of all, I was replying to a question that was on this post. I know people get infections in the US too but I was just telling the person what happened to my friend. Third of all, I didn't assume everyone was covered by insurance, stop assuming I am assuming that. Fourth and for most: readjust your attitude and re read my pervious post. I am not being negative, just giving my honest opinion. Have a blessed day. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

What part of "no sales please" don't you understand?
So I have an Instagram and I post pictures of my weight loss accomplishments not for validation but just for myself and my family because I don't have a fb. So I racked up followers, that's find and dandy, but I put "NO SALES PLEASE" in my bio and what do I get day in and day out? "Hi my name is [insert basic name here] and I am an herbalife coach!" Or "have you tried shakeology? Its the best and since you had weight loss surgery, it would be good for you". And then you get those people who ask you to work for them and be a coach or a rep but....since when does working for someone mean you have to buy 300 dollars worth of stuff? Ugh, if I could I would block them all. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Update:
You see, this is all complicated because I originally had my surgery in Omaha Nebraska and I moved just one month after surgery due to family issues. While in Nebraska, I had troubles with dehydration and stomach cramps but nothing too major. Before I got down to Florida, I made a month stop in Georgia and got a job because I assumed we were going to live there. I worked with dogs, I had to lift and clean heavy things, including the dogs and I was only two months post opp but had no issues. Then we moved down to Florida and that is when I began having issues, putting on weight, bloody stool, fatigue, dehydration. I have the same insurance but the way the insurance works down here is so different from the Midwest, ie they move super slow and hardly take my insurance. I was supposed to have a endoscopy back in March but my surgeon's staff neglected to tell me I needed a referral. It took me literally months to find a doctor to give me one and, for a whole month, my symptoms stopped but they came back starting this month. The constipation and stomach cramps are new, though. I'm still waiting for my doctors office to send over a fax and its taking them forever. I told my new surgeon all of this and he still seemed like he was so nonchalant about it, even when I told him I can use the bathroom now but I'm still bleeding, no sense of urgency in his voice. I am so frustrated. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Tattoos?
Hi. I don't want to sound ignorant but if I don't ask, I'll never know. I was looking at getting a tattoo, a small one, some time between next month and December. I am worried about the tattoo shrinking and I don't know if I should wait until after I have skin removal surgery (if I ever get to that point) to get it. Does anyone have a tattoo? Did you get it before or after surgery? How did it look after losing weight? I'm sorry for so many questions but this tattoo is really important to me and its not just a sudden choice, been thinking about it since I was 18 but my weight has held me back.

Update:
Yes actually. My surgeon told me to come in on Monday as soon as I can. He also said if the blood turns from bright red to dark red, go to the ER. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

"Just 62 pounds?"
Hopefully but he literally said "62 is poor weight loss" and that made me feel like a failure. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Mexico is okay but sometimes they're sanitation isn't that great and sometimes they cut corners. I just want you to be safe but do whatever you think is best! Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

"Just 62 pounds?"
So when I called my new surgeon, he asked me how much weight I've lost since September. When I told him 62 pounds, he got queit and said "just 62...since September?" Is that not good? I know in December it will be 12 months, how much weight am I supposed to lose in the first 12 months anyway? Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

I don't live in Japan but I've stayed there for a year or two. I'd be best if you booked a surgery in the US or in the UK. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Protein powder?
Good morning (or afternoon) guy, I am going to buy some Protein powder today and was wondering, what Protein Powder do you use? What is a good recommendation? I heard whey protein is good but I know that whey is basically milk and some of us can't tolerate dairy. (I can though). Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App
