  10. I had lap band. It slipped and could not go back into place. It eroded and I had to have revision too much scarring. In 2009 I was so scared and elected band. I've not had one complication after bypass and am kicking myself that I didn't do that surgery first. I was miserable w band. Never was restricted if I was too tight I would regurgitate in sleep. Sorry just my story. I went in so often to take fluid in and out regardless of what you do make sure you choose surgeon near by. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app
  11. I couldn't get iud in due to cervical scarring. He originally said no BC pills but BC nexplanon making me bleed non stop he said to go on higher dose BC pill Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app
  12. I have had period for about six months with only two to three days in between seven to twelve day periods. Calling Tom. My bariatrics surgeon said to go on higher estrogen BC pills. What are others on? Having nexplanon removed can't take this anymore Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

  28. That's awesome and encouraging! When did it start growing back I'm eight months post oP and hair looks stringy and scalp is out:( Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App
  29. I had surgery April 19, a lot of hair has fallen out. I take Biotin and use Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and leave in. It seemed to have slowed but you can see my scalp and my once long hair just looks stringy:( I'm afraid to cut but when I go on 23rd I will. Anyone have any pics to share of their new do's? My Dr said I'm doing everything right but hair loss inevitable Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App
  30. My Dr said no it cannot be trusted so h made me switch to something not estrogen based. Longer story that I will spare you but iud wouldn't go in due to cervical scarring I have nexplanon in my arm no issues yet. That is progesterone Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

  33. Wow...Did not know that they performed endoscopy without sedation. I was sedated for mine and no issues after I woke up. It was also a pretty quick procedure.
