I'm 5 1/2 months out and haven't lost any. Hope I'll be one of the lucky ones who gets a pass, but I'm not banking on it. I'm taking all the recommended supplements plus Biotin for regrowth. I'm also taking Biosil even though it's expensive because my hair stylist swears by it for recovery from hair loss/ trauma.

@brianajubert I know it probably sounds nasty but it's an old remedy, it worked for me after a couple shots, which was Castor Oil, Lemon juice and Honey.... I made the concoction in a shot glass, had about 2 or 3, works wonders!!!!

WALK.... WALK... WALK.... Did I say WALK again!!!! The gas has to be released, in order to do so you have to move around, trust me I know, everyone knows that they aren't a happy feeling. I would highly suggest Gas-X Strips, they work wonders, I'm only 1 month Post-Op and I faithfully keep them in my purse along with Zofran, have to stay prepared at all times.

Thanks so much, praying the same for you as well. No gas pains for me just some pains with the healing. Nothing major, my PA said get tired of doing a WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING for 2 weeks. Nothing more than nothing until she sees me in 2 weeks. So I'm doing just what the Dr.Ordered......NOTHING[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23], and staying hydrated.

I was discharged yesterday evening. Now I'm trying to walk around so I can get this gas on out of me. But I feel okay. Just want a healthy and speedy recovery for us both.

Please tell me how to get rid of this gas pain. 2 days post op and omg. I've been walking and burping but I want it all out now.
My surgery went well. Surgeon said I did great and he know I'll be a success story. I'm excited! But please what can I do to alleviate this gas real quick? Help!

I had my tubes tied 2 years ago and since then my cycle was always on time, light and lasted 3 days tops, I was sleeved on 1/20 and I had gotten my cycle the morning of.... BAH GEEZ!!!! However, I tell you I've had post-op bleeding (heavy) since then, which just stopped about 2 days ago. WHAT A RELIEF.... I'm just waiting to see how next month turns out :-))

@Lenamatie301 I know exactly how you feel, I've experienced this feeling multiple times but just after a few spoon fulls to be exact!!! The feeling is HORRIBLE, and I agree I rather not eat anything else.... What's helped me get past it if it continues to linger about 20-30 mins later is something warm, preferably a cup of tea!!!!

I am on the pureed food diet now. I was so afraid that I would know when to stop eating and I found out today after only a couple of onces of food! I had a knot in my chess and it felt so terrible I wanted NOTHING else to eat. This journey is truly amazing. I can't wait to see how how far I get. Is there anyone in this stage or have experienced this that can share their story with me? ]

It is now midnight and yesterday at 1:00 I was sleeved! I was beyond scared but I'm doing great now! I had gas pains in my chest making it hard to breath in, but I walked as soon as they would let me and after two walks and plenty of burping I have no more gas pain! I have been using my pain pump and have even been able to get some sleep. I have been sipping Water constantly with no issues. I wanted to thank everyone who helped pep me up and calm my worries. I don't think I could have done it without you all and my support system at home. Feeling awesome on the other side!

Okay so I called the insurance company this morning you know out of curiosity and they told me that they haven't received my paper work yet... SO I was a little bummed and went to lunch and got a slice of Chicken and Broccoli pizza. Well when I returned my cell phone was ringing I looked at the number and thought hmmm I don't want to talk to a teller marketer but my little angel on my shoulder said answer the phone Mia : ) And guess what! Yelp it was the insurance company!!! They said that they have approved everything and I have until the 2/02/2017 to have the procedure done or I'll need to resubmit!!! Should I call the Dr. Office??? I will need to start my liquid diet tomorrow!!!! Thank God I ate the pizza today : )

Filled mine out just now!!! Thanks

I just found out that if you go to the perky Jerky website, under the Contact Us They have a drop down for WLS/Bariatric Surgery patients. If you fill out the form, they will send you free samples! Just requested mine today.

@@zizi_tops I'm a Northern Girl myself, Connecticut to be exact!!! I was required to do a High Protein, Low Carb for two weeks then 2 or 3 days before surgery Clear liquid Diet... However, I'm probably do all Clear liquids starting Friday. I have my EGD scheduled on the 13th, so I figured since I can't eat or drink anything after midnight Thursday, what a better way to start off! When do you start your Pre-Op Diet?
