I was told you heese have to wait 6 months after your surgery.

I think I did but i would talk to a nurse to see if it's really not covered.

Here's a thought --- how about you CALM DOWN. I asked advice on a subject that is widely known about in the wls community that you obviously have no knowledge of, so why bother replying? I am doing exactly as my surgeon told me, he told me to lose the weight and I lost it. Thanks for your negative input, though. You must have had a really bad day.

I wanted the sleeve but because of acid reflux my Dr would only do bypass. I only needed to lose 80 lbs. I had the bypass October 11th I've lost 55 lbs do far. It got rid of my acid reflux and I don't have dumping but I had a really good doctor. I have lost hair and I've tried the Shampoo it doesn't work for me. Im going to try hair skin nails from it works (I sell it) next ill let you know if it works.

I was told very few people actually have dumping syndrome, it's a small percentage. If you still eat poorly you will gain weight.

Even though it's light I slept through the whole thing. You shouldn't be awake for it

My wardrobe over the past many years has been varying shades of black or gray (see last pic). I have been shopping thrift stores mainly until I get to a place where my weight stabilizes, but decided I could use a couple of new items, so I decided to splurge. I bought WHITE pants!!! LOL. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but let me tell you, it really is. I've always carried so much of my weight in my butt and thighs and always chose dark colors for skirts and pants. It felt so good to buy a nice pair of white pants for spring, lol. In a size 10 no less. Squeeee!!!! 5 months out and gone from a size 18/20 in pants to a size 10!!! I am doing a celebration dance over here! No regrets!

Had our first family dinner yesterday as well. Everyone else got to enjoy homemade pizza while I had about 4 oz of mashed sweet potatoes...lol. The pizza smelled good but I wasn't even that hungry to eat my sweet potatoes.

Note the cup on the plate...that's my dinner. Smelled good but didn't really miss the ribs and potatoes

Where in Texas are you? I have IT works wraps (I sell them) but they definitely help smooth and tone your skin. How long before your wedding.

So...4 months out and (almost) 4 stones down...the before and after photos are at 3 stone off, I look SO different again, just need to take a pic.

I have lost 12 inches off my waist and 14 off my 'mum tum' (its flabby flap has gone from 3 inches of sag to under 1/2)

I am lighter than my other half...therefore no longer the heaviest in the house *high 5*

I have lost the combined weight of my 4 year old, the cat and 2 of our hens

I buy a UK size 16 off the peg (previously a 22)

I have just applied for and got a job which I wouldn't have dreamed of even applying for 5 months ago...start tomorrow eek!

My 4 teens are super proud of my new look and (though they aren't consciously doing it) are actively spending more time with me around their friends...and my 4 year old is thrilled with my new energy levels.

I'm away to take climbing instruction and have joined 2 groups to learn that and ukulele...and am involved with sorting a 20yr reunion for my high school (a stark contrast from my previous very anti-social self)

I have legs...really nice ones...I have always totally viewed them as my worst asset and had no idea that these shapely beings existed beneath my previous tree trunks.

My boobs are no longer my best asset...this really worried me pre-op as I was massively defined by them...you know what??? I don't care (and neither does he)!

I can go buy vintage clothes...and they fit...and they look amazing (hand knitted 70s dress from a charity shop is my absolute favourite buy)

The skin looseness is nothing like I thought it would be

Learning that food is fuel and not enjoyable is hard and the mental process behind it isn't a nice one...but the feeling of accomplishment helps more than I could have ever believed!

I love yoga!

This is the best investment I have ever made in myself...I am just so, so happy! yes...there are negatives, but they are far outweighed by all the zillions of good stuff :D

I'm officially on the losers bench . Surgery went well yesterday and I feel great.

Had gastric sleeve nov 11, 2016! Hasn't been easy! I was in and out of the hospital with dehydration and stomach spasms causing me to vomit constantly! I'm doing much better now and these results make it seem worth it finally! Don't give up! You're gonna get to where you want to be! Have a blessed Friday!

is there a way to block someone from your feeds. frankly this line has disturbed me. I thought this was a safe place to say anything but in a kind supportive and non-judgemental way. this got nasty and defensive quick thanks

It's been one year today since I had my sleeve done. My life has changed in every aspect.
My start weight was 333.1lbs
My weight this morning was 137.8lbs
That's a total loss of 195.3lbs!!
I've also lost a total of 95 inches...I'm a size 6 now...used to be a size 30.
I have accomplished this by being very focused and strict with my eating and exercise.
I eat very low carb, and always get in my Protein, Vitamins and Water every day.
For all of you just starting out, just know that anything is possible, and if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything!!
