Women should take Biotin. It helps prevent hair loss. The only suggestion I can give you is to stick to what your surgeon tells you to do. They are the expert. If you have issues dont be afraid to ask them. Dont force food down. Take small small bites and chew chew chew. Getting food stuck is not a good feeling. And most important' date=' enjoy your new life to the fullest[/quote']

Ty very much

Yes I've had one before. The pain was unbearable. I would say that at first it came and went and I ignored it. Then it became constant and so bad that I could barely stand and was crying (and I have a high tolerance for pain). I went to the ER and they gave me pain meds and it was like they were giving me tic tacs. They placed an ng tube in me and then the pain started to subside. If you suspect it, I would recommend going now. Don't wait because the pain could get worse.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
