    Was it worth it?

    I'm 9 months post op, immaculate recovery, for me it was worth it but I had no complications. My motivation also was not looks. So every additional benefit was like icing in the cake. Health once lost or gained (regained) can change your life like you've never imagined.

    Back fat?

    Hey there you could double up on bras but if the front isn't the problem try a compression styled tank top. Super fitted , works wonders!!!!
  7. This is a very dangerous road to go down, but only you know if you are willing to do it. Making physical changes for someone else when you are not comfortable doing it is not a very good idea and can lead to more problems than resolutions. But i will say this strong and lasting marriages are not usually made or broken on bra size.

    Hunger pain

    Maybe but don't change anything until your team advises you to take the prescribed PPI ( if you were given one), push hydration to the Max (remember it doesn't ave to be just water ,just cal free sugar free and on your plan) and its really helpful to stick to a schedule to train your body and mind

    Eating Out and Travel

    I suggest eating the purest uncomplicated food from the menu, like lemon butter salmon, black bean soup and garlic and herb chicken ,etc. you can estimate what is in it. But things like any house pasta sauce, seafood stews and crab bisque and creamy saucy chicken dish ... Proceed with caution! They can vary by recipe and restaurant , ingredients will be hard to nail down . Eat at your own risk... I did (it was dessert) at a very fancy French restaurant and paid the price , I have a sleeve and unfortunately I can dump.

    Hunger pain

    Some people never like we the hunger sensation altogether. There are ways to reduce it. Sometimes stomach acid mimics hunger so make sure its not that first (take your PPI) , next make sure its not thirst (often feels like hunger) last make sure you are not eating things that prompt a hunger sensation, high sugar, high carb and even high vitamin b 12 ( found out from another member) Do a bit of research, check your routine and Speak with your team about ways to keep real hunger at bay.
  15. Hi, Congrats on everything so far!!! Meet with a surgeon for a consult but they will likely try for a conversion to either RNY or DS (SIPS) , VSG was originally intended to be a two part surgery for super morbidly obese patients with the first part being the VSG to reduce the weight enough to safely continue with DS. VSG worked so well many patients never needed part two. This may be something to discuss with your prior team or a new one but from what I hear it's rare to redo a VSG. SAFE JOURNEY AGAIN!!!

    Hair Loss

    Visit a dermatologist, it may have nothing to do with it , or fallout may have coincided with the end of your normal anagen cycle because although it will not prevent telogen effluvium it will delay it by elongating and promoting the growing cycle of hair -anagen, while delaying telogen phase indefinitely (as long as you use the product) BUT... I'm not a Dr. (Lol) just going by the info I received and researched. But monixidil is a long term commitment...
