allies journey

I have been thinking about trying the patches too.

I started using Biotin capsules at first when I had sleeve surgery 0ct of 2016,5,000 mg twice a day and my nails which were thin as paper got hard as nails then I stopped for a few weeks totally thinned out and tearing off.Back on it after RNY REVISION SURGERY 10,000 twice a day and so much better.

I was 287 when I had sleeve surgery 0ct 2016 went down to 199 and back up to 237.9 ,just had RNY revision surgery on July 16th due to severe reflux getting worse with the sleeve. I am 4 weeks post OP and I am down 24 lbs. You look awesome and I am wondering how you got rid of any excess skin and no batwing arms. Mine already flap in the wind and I just hate it. You look so happy and confident. Congratulations. Allie in SC

I have serious issues with not drinking while eating or right after. I have to leave my drink completely off the table or I forget. Such a hard habit to break. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Not sure what stones are compared to lbs. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had mine on July 16th and so far no reflux thankfully. But I will see once they take me off zegrid and Carafate. I no longer have to take zantac or GI cocktail. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Which surgery did you have sleeve surgery or bypass?? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon's office says not to look at calories just protein and fluids. I use premier protein shakes 2 a day.30 gram of protein in each shake and 160 calories. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

21 days Post OP here and can drink all I want. Just started my stage 3 menu ,I really have felt the change in being able to get down solid food and keep it down. I was concerned about the same thing you are but like everyone else seems to be normal. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck with your journey Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

That's awesome..congratulations

Omg your doing great. I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery and down 22 lbs. Are you exercising alot? I haven't started yet.One of my incision reopened so as soon as the infection is gone I want to start. Congratulations on your progress Allie in SC

Congratulations and hope you get the surgery date soon!! My surgery was 3 weeks ago and I haven't had much problem at all few minor things with weakness and dizziness, one of my incision started opening up after staples were taking up causing slight infection. Nothing major like some people have been having. Fixing to be on stage 3 menu thankfully. Lol can't wait to get to maintenance level. I have lost 22lbs since surgery. But I had gained 5 from fluids in the hospital. Good luck with your blood work, Allie in SC

So sorry to hear about the pain your having. I had my surgery 2 days before you and haven't had any of those kind of issues. I am slightly constipated and was very weak to the point of passing out. Some nausea but never to the point of vomiting. I can't possibly be dehydrated because I drink at least 6 ,16 oz bottles of water a day. If you keep feeling this way call your Dr. back. Hopefully you feel better soon. Allie
