I was told you have to keep your Protein up to not lose your hair.

That was my fear too. I had six months of weight loss to show, psych and nutritionist evaluation. Once the surgeons coordinator had all the paperwork it took another 2 weeks and then scheduling. So two months between finishing appts and surgery.

I was allergic to the steri strips and removed them the following evening. Because of the reaction. I was showering the next day. I was told no baths.

Yes I have gone through it badly. I take dulcolax it has helped.

I used to never be cold but I am cold most of the time now.

My dr issued me a prescription for an antacid to take everyday. So I haven’t had that problem. But I do get full after a few bites. So I stop eating.

I broke out in a nasty rash from the steri strips. I am allergic to them. In my hospital bin I brought home was some soap, hibiclens. I washed with it twice a day for three days then once for a week. Instantly in calmed the itching, and tone the redness and inflammation. Of course I removed the steri strips. I cannot take Benadryl, it reacts badly with other medications take.

I had my surgery on Dec 29th. The first three weeks everything was going great. Now i have some light headedness and moments of feeling like all my energy has been sucked out of me. Has anyone else felt this?
