Hi all!! I'm 6 months post-op today! Down 83.5 pounds and feeling pretty great! I've even gotten off many meds I was on before for pcos, high blood pressure! Very excited about my surgery!

I am gettin to the point that I have lots of extra skin! :-( problem areas are upper arms, tummy, and boobs! I've lost a lot of my boobs sadly lol. Anyways from the start I've used lots of lotion, mostly firming. Recently, in the last month, I have really struggled with dry skin. Surgeon and pharmacist agree its a combo of the weight loss and all the Vitamins I take so I switched over to a body cream which they suggested as well as tree tea mint Shampoo (dry scalp and hair loss!). Anyways, does anyone have any helpful suggestions for helping with this loose skin? I know it's inevitable but I am in a wedding in July so it would be great if I could get some of this under control! Thanks!! :-)

  Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed. I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

  Two months out from hiatal hernia repair. Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end. That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

    As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
