I was told with the surgery it completely gets rid of it. But I wanted to hear this from someone who experienced it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also find myself doing this and I feel good about it.. Coming from the person who always wants friends. But now I can care less. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am a chronic sufferer of HS. And they are super painful.. They are very uncomfortable and they make me feel so uncomfortable to be around people. Has anybody who experience this have them go away after WLS? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm not dependent on it, I just use it when the pain is unbearable. It's quite fascinating to read. Thank you for tagging me in this!!! Tell your SO- I can so relate!

I had my consultation June 28th, and I'm scheduled for surgery in September... No date yet, I hope it's not on my 22nd birthday. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, my name is Arianna, I'm 21 years old. Soon I will be receiving the gastric sleeve in September. I am going on my final year of college, and I return to school in August. I have met my surgeon, and soon I have my psych and nutrition evaluation. As I stated before, I am scheduled to have the surgery in September. These are a few questions I was wondering, and wanted to know what your experience was and how did you handle it, as well as any advice. *Has anyone had the surgery that was around my age? *Has anyone gone through the surgery while they were in school? *How long will I be out of school/work? *What foods worked best for you, and what foods were horrible? *What Vitamins should I be taking? *What exercises are best? *How do I make sure I get my adequate amounts of Protein and Water? *Will I have loose skin? *Did any of your weight related problems go away? And any advice? Thank you all for you help and answers. I really appreciate it <3

I was wondering about this same thing. I have arthritis in my knee as well as an torn ACL, and I occasionally smoke marijuana when the pains come in my knee. I don't experience having the munchies, I usually eat one thing after and I am all set. What are your thoughts on this?
