Things are doing well. I'm still a little sore around the port area. I think I may have been doing too much bending, so Dr. Burry told me to take it easy for. A few more days. He said there was still too much swelling to tell if I messed up anything, but he said he should be able to tell when I go back for my first fill. By then he said the swelling would be gone. I see him again on Nov. 8th for my first fill. What I'm really looking forward to is mashed/puréed foods in 8 days. This liquid diet stuff is killing me, but the upside is I've lost 20#s in the last 3 weeks because of it.?

I guess it is, got my answer. I had my surgery about 4 years ago, it has gone well, except lately, I am having Hair loss problems. Seems it is from Vitamin deficiency, any comments, same symptoms? Does it come back with adequate vit replacement?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
