Hi! I always check for bariatric dating sites and /or just meet up groups here in Michigan and I am not really having any luck. I would love to get a group of people together who have all experienced this journey whether its pre op or post op. Let me know if you guys have any ideas!!

Good luck to everyone. Keep your chins up. I had the sleeve done Dec 2016. Start weight 392 day of surgery I am now 231. Well worth it but hate the extra skin!!

I am still losing and if I was actually motivated to exercise I would probably lose more. I found out that not dwelling on it makes it much easier and just going with the flow Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I lost a majority of the weight my first 8 months then I hit a 3 month stall then recently around April I went from 254 lbs to 240 today. I am not sure exactly how it kind of just happened. Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

My only advice is to not consume yourself with your surgery and results. Just take it day by day and trust me you will probably have stalls and your hair may thin and you may feel like crap but its just temporary! Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery date Dec 2016. I was around 388 to 392 lbs depending on fluids. I am now 242 yay! Size 26 and now I can fit into size 16! I hope everyone is well and stays positive. If you cheat do not beat yourself up... I am not innocent considering I just ate spaghetti o's lol. Take care! Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

If u read my posts i am a sleeve patient not RNY Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with Danny Pauls post..almost like I am reading my experience. I woke up extremely thirsty from the tube that was in my throat. I was up walking 2 or 3 hours after surgery from my bed to bathroom. The pain was there but not unbearable..the most pain throughout the weeks after was my biggest incision but heating pads and rest helped. Popsicles were a saving grace for dry mouth and liquid intake. I couldnt drink much of anything...fast forward 15 months and I am able to eat and drink whatever i want besides tuna lol..it now makes me gag. Best of luck to you..u will have good and bad days but in the end it will be worth it Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I get full but not like before surgery. If I over eat something my nose runs and depending on what it is I salivate more and sometimes hiccup. I am about 15 months post op and can eat about 4 oz of meat...its weird though because one day I can only eat about half of hamburger and other days i can almost finish it. I am also one of the few that doesnt get pain when I drink carbonated drinks...such as ICE brand flavored water and once in while i have some coke or ginger ale Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I can help with questions you may have. I am a year and 2 months post op. I got sleeved Dec 6 2016. Start weight 388 the day of surgery and today I am 250 Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

Great job. You can tell a difference. How much have you lost? Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I lost hair when I was about 5 months post op. It would come out on my brush and shower. I tried biotin and Rogaine for women. It didn't seem to make much difference. The hair loss lasted about 3 months. Everyone is different but not much u can do to completely stop the shedding besides wait it out. Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery at 830 pm due to an emergency my surgeon had before me. I remember going into the operating room and being strapped to the board table thingy lol then i was out like a light..oh i remember loud rock music being played in the OR lol. I woke up being extremely groggy and dry mouth!!! I was wheeled into my room and was up within a few hours asking to use the bathroom not a bed pan. It was a lot of pain but bearable. Mostly when I went from sitting or laying to standing. I was up and walking making laps around the hospital unit I was in around 10 am the night after surgery because I was determined to go home! I had surgery dec 6 2016 at 830 pm and was out of the hospital dec 7 around 3 pm. Everyone heals different and has different pain tolerance. My issue was nausea and i am over a year post op and still have little nausea in the morning. My only advice is keep your head up, there will be good and bad days but no regrets!!!
