Not sure if you ever got an answer, but Dr.Kelly did my sleeve over 10 years ago. No problems until this year and I have a hernia that now makes it so I need gastric bypass now. Going back to Mexico for it because my insurance won't pay.

I had mine out at time of surgery as Ihad , had 3 attacks before. I went to mexico so I just had to pay 500.00 more to do it then. My husband just had his out here in the states and it has cost about 5000.00.. I think I got a pretty good deal! Julie

I am soon2change on there. Julie

I went to Dr. Kelly... You won't be sorry . He is an excellent surgeon and has done MANY sleeves. July will be here before you know it! Julie

I haven't lost any hair. I have had many surgeries and not lost hair.. Who knows why?? I did lose some hair when I had my children many years ago. I am 6 mo. Out today and no hairloss so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Julie

I have to take my vitamins right after I have eaten with a small sip of water.. Found out the hard way that just a shake or empty stomach was NOT a good idea.. Julie

Are you taking all your vitamins..?? B-12 is super important. Julie

Soon2change on there! Julie

Lissa, if you go back a couple of posts they explain how to adjust your steps to be more accurate. Julie

I am 5 months out and in the same bras.. Mine were so tight before they hurt.. No they are getting big , but I am just going to hook them tighter for now. Julie

Greek yogurt some use for sour cream.. Not the same to me. But you can add some dry ranch dressing mix to both for some taste. Or sugarfree jam. Torani syrups. Julie

My name on there is soon2change if you add me as a friend you can see my daily food diary. Julie

How much did you lose pre-op??? If you lost a lot that makes a huge difference.. You could have hit your stall early.. There NO WAY that you won't lose weight. Just keep doing what you are doing and the scale will go down ...Promise!! Julie

I threw up for the first 24 hours.. Just keep sipping.. I had to stop the pain meds as that was what was making me sick.. Keep trying and hang in there. julie

Early out you really need to for a while.. At 5 month's out I don't drink any.. In the very beginning absolutely you should!!! I used permeir protien from costco -chocolate 30 grm. protien Julie
