High B12 and AST and Alt levels at 2nd year post op visit?
Michele 2021 replied to Michele 2021's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
My doc advised me to cut back on my B-12 to once a week. The problem is I have several bottles of the bariatric pal one a day multivitamins that have 1000 bit B-12 included. I will need to take a different multivitamin. Does anyone have any suggestions on any bariatric vitamins that don’t have the B-12 included? I appreciate your feedback! 🙂 -

dIsLosingIt replied to WVJess2Less's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was there last week. I almost cried. Find a tv show, take a walk, eat a popsicle..it will pass. -
I am just curious.... I had VSG on 03/09/2023. This is supposed to be the HONEYMOON PHASE! But I am turtle losing. Doing all the right things. Eating my calorie limit, hitting water and protein goals. I have lost 21lbs since 03/09, seven of those pounds was the first week after surgery. Anyone else a turtle loser too?

Dr. Semeret Munie w/ Marshall Health & Cabell-Huntington Hospital
Cassiper posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had my surgery 10/4/2022 and my surgeon is amazing! The whole team at the office is great and very helpful. Dr. Semeret Munie was my surgeon and now I mostly see the nurse practitioner, Kelly Columbus-Kline who is amazing as well. Dr. Munie made all the right calls when it came to my care and helping me select the right surgery for me. I was approved for gastric bypass until my pre-op day the week before I was scheduled. At that appointment we chose to change my procedure to gastric sleeve because my iron levels were so low she was afraid I may become infusion dependent on iron. I'm glad she didn't go ahead with the bypass and paid attention to my bloodwork so closely! The person I've had the most contact with through classes, appointments, and support groups is the dietician, Marsha Copley. She has been SO helpful and has helped me feel less guilty about being human regarding some of the choices I've made and has definitely steered me in the right direction with her guidance. I love them all so much. I didn't see any posts about Dr. Munie on here so I wanted to write one so that people can find this information about them. -
Did anyone NOT have a 3 week stall?

I am sure there are people who didn't but I feel like the majority of us did stall between weeks 2-5. -
Looking for friends, just starting my journey!
Jaz&kar5 replied to mommaMel302's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I’m46 as of 5/5. I was just approved last Thursday and today I was given my surgery date of 6/5/2023. I have 4 kids also 28, 23, 18 and 15. And one grandson (6yrs). My process began 2/21/23. I admit I became a bit frustrated during the journey- all the test. The insurance requirements… the weight/wait…. But I’m finally able to see the finish line. I’m not scared but I have concerns about sagging skin. I weigh 250 and I’m5”3. I’ll post pics once I figure out how. Good luck to you all. I’m also on FB with pics there -
I will be sleeved 6/5/2023. Within the last year I gained over 50lbs. I contributed this to the pandemic (working from home) and the sudden loss of a very close family member. I’m worried of course about sagging skin. Anybody care to share pics or any information on if sagging skin was really bad, or how to make it better. I weigh 250 and I’m 5”3

Did anyone NOT have a 3 week stall?
longhaul68 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi- just wondering if you didn’t experience the infamous 3 week stall, when did it show up? And I’ve read it can last 1-3 weeks. Any variations on that out there? -
Manage Sleep Apnea
longhaul68 replied to dIsLosingIt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m 3 weeks post op for RNY and had moderate sleep apnea, using a cpap for 2-3 years. I no longer snore according to my light sleeping husband! It’s really odd but even my nasal breathing and air intake is smooth and silent. I still keep the machine in case but down 40 lbs since pre op diet and the apnea has vanished. What prompted me to remove my head gear one night was my discomfort from surgery and getting up to use the bathroom etc. one night I forgot to put the head gear back on and woke refreshed. I asked my husband if he’d heard me snore and he said no. The second night was an experiment- silent as the snow! - and I’ve not gone back to using it as long as I’m not snoring and waking feeling fresh. -
Looking for "shorties" that started around 200 lbs
pintsizedmallrat replied to greeneyedgirl79's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am 4'10" and my high weight was 245; I was 220 on the day of surgery. After six weeks I had lost about 40 pounds. It took me 13 months to reach my goal weight of 110; I am now attempting to maintain but apparently I am not eating enough because I've managed to shrink my way down to "nonederland" at 97 pounds, and I'd really like to gain about 8 pounds and get back to 105. The biggest period of loss I had outside the first 30 days was around the spring following my surgery as I finally had that "burst of energy" and became MUCH more active, mostly by riding my motorcycle which is a surprisingly good workout on the arms and core! I lost 50 pounds between May and October last year. -

Looking for "shorties" that started around 200 lbs
greeneyedgirl79 replied to greeneyedgirl79's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ah, this is probably the difference. I'm on real foods and have been since week 5. I'm low carb, but I am on a regular diet. And yeah, I've got 20 years on ya, lol. -
Yep. Went through the same thing last week. It gets better, but man, it sucks in the middle of it. Communicate with your at home support. My husband had a hard time knowing how to respond. Plus, he was really overwhelmed already from the extra responsibility on his shoulders. We've since talked through it, and have come to a great understanding.

normal. Many women experience weird hormone-related things the first few weeks or months after surgery (screwed up menstrual cycles and emotional weirdnesses). This is supposedly because estrogen is stored in fat cells, and during rapid weight loss, that estrogen is released. It'll eventually stabilize and you'll be fine..

@irreverentgamer I understand where you are....but you will be fine & do great! I was the same way...and my BP showed it😳🤕 but now I am 1 week post surgery. Praying for you & can't wait to hear about your success.

May 2023 surgeries
CarolineLittle replied to WVJess2Less's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes! It's pretty normal I think. When I came home 3 days ago I was 149kgs, marginally higher than my final hospital weigh in. This morning I'm 147kg, which equates to 4.4 pounds. Our body is in recovery mode. I was pumped with IV fluids too! -
Syntrax Nectar Protein Supply Issue?
Alex Brecher replied to Esi's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
They brought manufacturing in-house and it’s been taking them longer to get things going. All flavors will be available within the next few weeks. -
Does anyone know when Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder will be available, specifically the roadside lemonade flavor. It has been out for several weeks, maybe a month or more? I noticed that other flavors are out, too. I am wondering if the company is having supply issues, or if it’s being discontinued.

I mostly use sports bras since I work from home. The old ones were too tight, 40H so they were good for 3 months, I then found a pair I was going to give away but forgot size 40DDD wireless and wore those for a couple of months, then had a 38DDD lying around for 1 month. I finally gave in and bought a few at One Hanes Place online, 5 bras for $89, got a 36DDD even though it said I should be wearing 38E and put an extender so I can get a few months out of it.

Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
omrhsn replied to chiquitatummy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I went to buy new shirts for work last week because the ones I bought two months ago became baggy and loose. I started with size "M" first which was still big and finally got size "S" slim fit shirts which fit me like a glove haha. I've never thought that this would be possible 🤣. Here is me in my new size "s" shirt and 31" pants. I need to lose some more weight from my thighs. -
How long should I expect my abdominal area to be swollen? I also find that it swells throughout the day. For example, I put on my jeans in the morning, and they fit great. By the afternoon, they are tight. Same with the band on my bra. My RNY was May 1st, so almost 2 weeks.

I definitely gained weight. When I left the hospital, I was still 5 pounds more than before surgery. With all the liquid.s they pumped into me, and being bloated like crazy, it was pretty obvious. But a week and a half later, I have lost almost 20 pounds from that point, and dropping fast.

Any March 2021 Sleeve Patients?
vhannah replied to LoveSimcha's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had my sleeve done on March 22. Also had a 3cm hiatal hernia repair at the same time. About 7-8 weeks out. Food tastes different sometimes and the vitamins make my stomach ache. -
