Hannah_Johnson got a reaction from GreenTealael in Will my face and neck regain their appearance after rapid weight loss?I did gastric sleeve, and right after, I underwent rapid weight loss, appearing most conspicuously in my face and neck. Will I ever gain a fit look on my face and neck after such a rapid loss of weight following gastric sleeve?

Hannah_Johnson got a reaction from GreenTealael in Unhappy with bariatric surgery 1 year laterA year ago, I did gastric sleeve. My weight was originally 230 pounds. Now, it's 117 pounds. I feel pretty ecstatic that my weight has gone down. However, that's where the happy list ends.
I'm concerned with the direction my life is heading after the surgery. I suffer from the following problems:
Chronic constipation. I must take Dulcolax laxative every day for relief. Miralax powder doesn't work. My GI doctor performed a colonoscopy, but nothing malign was found. It's debilitating not to be able to get the relief I desperately need, and to feel dependent on medications when I thought this would be temporary. Increased appetite. It's becoming more difficult to control my eating habits. I'm constantly hungry. Excess skin and fat. It's impossible to look at myself naked without judging my body. Has anyone else been going through these problems? What has worked well and not so well for you?
