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

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

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

I decided to finally start going to gym. I'm a revision little over one year out. Been stuck for months with scale. Going to gym five days a week. I don't see dietician until July.

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

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

My doctor said after three months so I waited until then. I was scared to "ruin" anything Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

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. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App It was fast but I was fully awake and scared to death Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I was not sedated and cried until it past my throat then it was ok. Wish I was sedated. Congrats on 50 pound weight loss Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App

I'm notsix months yet but hair started falling out at two months and still coming out. I'm revision and get all my Protein in. I take Biotin and all Vitamins religiously and started nioxin pre revision. I think we all just need to ride out this phase sadly. When did your hair start coming back for those of you further out???
