  2. After VSG,I had the diagnostic and every day got worse breakouts,nothing helps for almost 7 years(Humira,Otezla,etc).Recently,like 4 months ago,I stop the whey protein and dairy products,limited my carbs and sugar,start consuming pork and lard again(just the opposite of the Dermatologists advices)and suddenly I had no more flare-ups.Your testimonials bring me hopes.Thank you!

  5. Hi,these are my concerns:1-Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS),2-Gout,3-Knee pain.I'll appreciate any experiences about these comorbidities,after the weight loss.Thanks in advance!
  6. Just talking about gas,Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common gas used in laparoscopic surgery to inflate the patient's abdomen, or create pneumoperitoneum,in the case that you feel pain at any label in your left shoulder,specifically the rotator cuff,is a consequence of CO2;in that case you can contact an Sports Medicine Specialist Doctor and explain the situation or,don't waste time and resources and check in YouTube for excellent videos of simple excercises to resolve it.You are doing excellent,I wish you good luck again!
  7. Walking is the best,with or without any surgery;swimming is another good option.Start to enjoy your new life,you deserve it.

  9. Congratulations and I wish you a complete recovery soon!Plus,you are very lucky they removed your gallbladder,before it starts giving problems.In your case,witch common channel length was decided?I had the appointment with the surgeon today,he told me that the length of my common channel will be 275 cm(I 100% agree),when he start the surgery first check the sleeve and if necessary to resize he will do it.The surgery will be laparoscopic and will take 30 to 45 minutes.Tomorrow the patient advocate is going to call me for the next steps.Good luck!
  10.
