So Many Medical Problems ignored, is it obesity prejudice?
GreenTealael replied to okayestmom's topic in Rants & Raves
Most of these issues are aggravated or appear by weight gain so weight loss is always the remedy. It may not be as simple as prejudice when a doctor gives you this advice ... It's annoying and it's just a hard pill to swallow when you're not ready to hear it (not you personally) You could have been borderline and not qualified for some tests like the sleep study, personally although necessary for my surgery I am left paying for mine because insurance loves to play games. -
Scared I won't be successful
GreenTealael replied to dreamingofasleeve's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was sooo afraid it just wasnt going to work just for my set of circumstances. I would be in the percent that fail. I had a lot going on health wise , paniciking daily and i kind of jumped right in. I had to take a chill pill. Trust your surgical team, commit to the process and you will do fine. -
I love them but they are sneaky sliders with high calories so weigh them to the gram and enjoy

Have you lost as much and as quickly as you thought you would after surgery?
GreenTealael replied to jrsone's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
VSG on 11/7/17 and i lost 60 something since surgery 75 since highest weight recorded at surgeons office, and almost 100 since my highest weight ever I had no clue how it would go, just glad its gone -
Going to be sleeved while in college, then studying abroad... input/advice?!
GreenTealael replied to brashleyy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not the same but i backpacked Europe 4 months post op. You may be too new for alcohol but ask your surgeon. I would focus more on cooking your own meals, carrying as little as possible, avoiding getting hit im the abdomen at the club and testing new foods out privately near a bathroom. Enjoy Prague! -
Belly fat :( aka Tina the talking tummy
GreenTealael replied to lex2287's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im also 6 months post op and im noticing that the shape you have prior to surgery is the shape you will have after just much smaller (generally) then the resculpting occurs in the gym and this is hard and takes alot of time and effort. Or plastics. Dont get discouraged you can do it! -
I did tons of research on telogen effluvium and hairloss regrowth and this one was promising , im not out of the woods yet but im hopeful that this is helping minimize loss (and prayer) so i tell everyone i can.

I just realized my original comment was not clear... I use LLsyine an amino acid supplement and so far minimal hair loss im 6 months post op
-
dont want to worry you but most people report loss starting 3 months out. Only a few lose immediately idk why and even fewer can claim no loss at all.
-
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE everyone google the research on LLysine I've put it in every thread about hair loss I could I have been taking it from the start and so far minimal hair loss (plus vitamin and protein levels all good) Don't know if this is what is doing it for sure or genetics or the combination but ...

Does anyone regret getting the sleeve?
GreenTealael replied to Kadidy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Nope I wish the offered the DS in my area I would have done that instead (but not the RNY) Love the sleeve -
I just realized no longer have to worry about accidentally collapsing my ladder under my weight. I bought it without knowing the weight limit until I got it home and was taking the risks every time I used it.

Dry skin and hair
GreenTealael replied to Sleeved36's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Use whichever oil you chose while showering. This will lock in the moisture. -
Today I actually looked small to myself! This is the lowest weight of my adult life... I cant even imagine being smaller. Only 20 lbs to goal 1 then re evaluate from there.
-
I remember that day myself, walking around outside waiting on wife at doctor and turned corner and saw myself in mirrored office window. Stopped me in my tracks cause i think that was the first time i really saw i was not the same size.

That must have felt amazing! Congrats! I certainly haven't felt "small" yet, but I did start seeing myself as more "normal" looking last week. I felt like I'd crossed the threshold of people seeing me and not immediately thinking "Wow, she's huge!"

Keto style diet drops weight quickly before surgery But balance is best long term

Starting a SHTF thread It's all fun and games until ... You see your RD & NUT in the same room and they tell you you HAVE to weigh yourself weekly. HW270 SW238 CW176 VSG11/7/17 [emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956][emoji956]

your fears are normal and while everyone is different at 6 months out I : Look 15 years younger lol Always locate bathrooms when first entering restaurants now because i did have a minor emergency once and i want to be prepared from now on Im actually afraid of getting food poisoning and then adversion to something i eat routinely like yogurt
