  1. It could be that you are detoxing from sugar and processed foods. Sugar feeds yeast in our gut and when it is no longer being fed, the yeast dies off. Your feet and hands have more pores than the rest of your skin. When your body is expelling toxins, it can cause severe itching. It can go away for awhile and then come back the longer you stay away from the toxic culprits. Look up yeast detox. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App
  2. I had my surgery in Juarez. Great care! My insurance did not pay for bariatric surgery. I went back and forth between RNY and the mini bypass. They are very similar but the mini is less invasive. If you google the images for mini gastric bypass, they have diagrams to show you the difference. The results of both bypasses are equivalent.

  3. I told my family and a few close friends before my mini but now that it's done, I dont have a problem telling people. I didnt want the emotional "dont do it" before surgery and I don't want the "maybe it's drugs" or whatever other crazy talk people can come up with. Like you, I wasn't sure if I wanted people to know but I have found that when I have talked about it, people are pretty supportive. It seems everyone knows someone who has had it done. Hope this helps. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
  4. I'm in Anderson, IN and had a mini gastric bypass on 7/8/2016. Almost 2 weeks down. I had very little pain and have felt no hunger. I'm very glad to be on the other side! I hope all goes well for you! Let me know if I can be of any help! Karie Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
  5. I order it from Amazon. It is the best price. (2) 1 liter bottles for $32. The Shampoo and conditioner have a minty feel on the scalp. I have seen it at Walgreens but it is very overpriced. You can also find it at beauty supply stores. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

  7. I use Nioxxin hair products to help with preventing hair loss. It was designed to help cancer patients regrow their hair after chemo. Once I started using it, my hair stopped falling out and my hair grew back healthy. I continue using it now even though my hair is stable just to keep healthy what I have.
