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 am so sorry for you!! i don't have words just want to give you a hug... I am sure he didn't mean it to be mean,,,but it came off that way...he should have said things differently. Not standing up for him by any means!! Take care of yourself and don't starve yourself... You know what to do to lose ..Remember you have lost 150 freakin pounds...You have what it takes!!! Noiw you just have to believe it!! Julie

I don't see how that is possible.. this surgery has been used for years with people that have had stomach cancer... It's not new by any means! Julie

You look so much younger!!! Julie

When I had my surgery with Dr. Kelly he was revising someone from the gastric bypass with the band to a sleeve. She rode in the van with me. She said Dr. Kelly is the only one she trusted.. My sleeve surgery with Dr. Kelly was awesome. He is highly skilled at the sleeve.. Julie

I eat salad all the time . I will be 4 months out on the 10th. Julie

I am 4 mo. out soon ad can eat 3oz. meat. easily. Julie

I would do 2 shakes a day plus a healthy meal of protien and veggie for a couple of weeks . It shrinks the liver and that way you won't have to worry about your liver being to large. Julie

I do hair and nails and right after surgery my smeller was on overdrive.. I could tell you which customers ate garlic the night before from about 2 feet away. It has gotten back to normal now. Julie

I loved Trish , but understand there are isssues when using a coordinator. Dr. Kelly is worth going the extra mile. Book Right with him . You will not be sorry!!!!! Can't say that enoguh!! Julie

I am 5'6" and day of surgery I was 259 wearing a size 20 jeans. I am now 229 wearing a 18 , but soon to be 16. Julie

Everyone is differnet. I am a hairdresser and own my own salon . I had surgery on a Thursday and was back to work the following Thursday. I only did Part time, but really couldn't have been gone too much longer. Customers thought I only had my gall bladder out. Which I did , but along with my sleeve. Julie

I thought so too but no gain!! Good luck! Julie

EASAdvantage makes a strawberry ready to drink that tastes like a shake. You could put it in a blender with some berries and ice and I bet it would be very close to a shake. Julie

I had surgery 11/10 weighed 259 day of surgery today I weigh 242= -17 Julie

I go to the airport at 5:15 am to head for Mexico. Surgery will be at 3 pm. I want today to go by fast so I can't get there and get it done! Any prayers would be very welcomed! Thanks, Julie

From what I have heard you NEVER want to feel FULL just satisfied. Julie

I am having mine 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. So no Turkey for me this year... This will actually be the very fisrt holidays that I haven't gained weight!!!! My husband said I didn't have to cook Thanksgiving dinner , but Iwould not do that to my kids.. Just because I had surgery doesn't mean they should all go without. They have all offered to help me though I will be on full liquids by that time. I will be okay. By Christmas I should be on to more regg. food. Julie

I am going to dr. Kelly on the 10th..I will just miss you!! Julie

I start my pre-op this Thursday. It is protien shakes , cream Soups , Water, propel, Jello, popsicles, and one meal a day of protien and a veggie. No carbs . I am going to cut out coffee too so I don't have the withdrawl right after surgery. The last 3 days is Clear liquids only.. Julie

I have also been told to take thyroid meds on and empty stomach and NEVER with any thing else . supplements cancel out the synthroid.... Please ask your Dr. Julie

Congrats on your date!! Mine is Nov. 10th. They will be here before we know it Julie

How long (Weeks/Months) before your surgery did you stop drinking alcohol and caffiene???? Thanks for your responses! Julie

I am going on the 10th of nov. I am going alone also. Good question. I am only taking a backpack. Won't need much. Hope it isn't too heavy. Good luck!!! Julie
