Just wondering how often those that have had wls step on the scale? Why at that frequency? How do you feel when it has not moved or moved very little? What do you do in response?

Another Patient Death at A Lighter Me (ALM) with Dr. Jose Luis Curiel Marchena
maggieO replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
So Alex works for one of ALM competitor's... Who also happens to be the company exclusively promoted by this forum. It would be nice to hear the facts from someone with no skin in the game. As it stands both parties have a decent incentive to lie. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app -
Ok so how long were you off your medications after having the sleeve. When did you stop taking them and when did you restart taking them. Did pills bother you?

Anyone else going to be there during this time? I am going alone so im certain im going to be nervous!

I dont mind not taking them fpr a couple days. I dont want to vomit like you did, that had to suck. Im pretty certain i wont be able to take my anxity meds with the pain meds, although im thinking i might not need em. -

Dermatitis, post surgery?
maggieO replied to Just Rob's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Could be yeast... since its spreading it sounds like a likely possibility. However i am not in the medical field so its just speculation since I have heard of this happening to another lady. Check with your doctor. Or you could try an antifungal on areas away from your incisions, thats what i would do anyway. Again im not a doctor lol -

Get a fork and mash mash mash -
I would be extreamly cautious of alcohol... its irritating to the stomach and you wont know how you are going to tolerate it especially so soon after surgery. I know im a debbie downer lol BUT congrats on your wedding!!!

My advice, throw the chips in the trash. Its easier to avoid trigger foods if it means you have to make a shopping trip to get them. The family should be understanding.

OK Ladies, kinda embarrasing question for you all
maggieO replied to Adina's_Journey's topic in The Gals' Room
Im not sure why shaving is necessary even with a catheter... unless its the lower abdominal portion. I dont understand the medical necessity i guess. -
Sorry i thought this was a vsg post. Just noticed you are lap band.
-
It wont strech your stomach... however its just not good for you and if your still early in post op it will put stress on the staples. People can get leaks even 6 weeks out so i have heard.

May have nothing to do with your WLS. You should see a doctor though.
