Vomiting post gastric bypass surgery
The only time I vomited post revision was when I had a stricture. It was after every meal and I wasn’t over eating so that was a big clue that something was not right. Are you over capacity when this happens, just certain foods or every time?

Recap of positives and negatives one year after gastric surgery
It’s unfortunate you are experiencing some issues! D Mannose works well for UTIs and is available in almost every vitamin sections in stores. For the skin issues, have you considered a specialized soap? Also you can keep reinfecting yourself through clothing that is infected. Definitely see a dermatologist if you can. You said you are in remission now but your fasting issues may be connected to your diabetes. Do you monitor you blood glucose levels while fasting? I can still dry fast for over 24 hrs with no issues and wet fast for over 36hrs but I don’t have diabetes. Everyone is different so take that with a grain of salt. Some things may improve for you the further out from surgery you get or with continued weightloss. Good Luck!

When did you get your ring resized?
Weighing in: I’ve lost around 100 lbs and my ring size has gone from 10 to 8, so I am in fact big boned lol ! But to answer your original question, I never resized my (various) rings, I just wear them on different fingers now.

Totally not worth it ? I couldn’t always tolerate bread (and I still don’t eat soft breads) but over time it’s become easier. I like cucumbers soaked in sesame oil and lime

How to pick the right plastic surgeon!
From my understanding is pretty common in Miami. These surgeons will require a lot of clearances because there is no prior established history. But my surgeon required clearances every single time like we were strangers ? These were my requirements

How to pick the right plastic surgeon!
I was completely self pay and needed sign off from my primary physician (along with other testing that proved I was healthy enough for a long procedure) and I had to get the same authorizations for each surgery so it might be common.

My bestfriend is taking tirzepatide and phentermine at the same time!!!
In some circles it’s commonly know as stacking. Her telehealth doctor who is prescribing the compound tirzepetide may actually know about her being on both meds. It may be for a short period of time. In researching I found minimal contraindications between the two medications. There are a few studies in progress that are researching combination therapies with more in development https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667368122000092#sec6 You are a good friend IMHO because you are being supportive while tactfully telling her your concerns and presenting her with research based evidence. That’s more than enough. Now let her chose how to proceed.
