I've been doing ibuprofen for the headaches before bed. I wake up fine but they creep back in around 2 pm lol

I live in Georgia, but I'm actually going to Mexico for my surgery, because the insurance wouldn't cover it. My doc is Dr. Illan, at Oasis of Hope hospital in Tijuana.< /p>

I did tea for the headaches but only for a few days then no caffeine. It has helped a lot along with Tylenol and ibprofen. I've heard some really great things about the folks that are having the surgeries in Mexico. It's very sad that the insurance companies do not recognize that this weight loss could save them so much money in the long run.

I agree. The insurance was the one thing I was so nervous about, but my husband agreed that if they didn't cover then Mexico it was. The whole fare w surgery and stay including flight is aprox 5 grand right? The day of we should tell share our weight, and goal weights and check in on each others progress

My pre-op diet start weight was 242.8lbs and my goal is 150. I will for sure share my weight on the day of surgery.

How was everyone's surgery?! Hester I felt like death, but today I feel a million times better! I have to say the worst part for me was the oxygen mask I had to wear after the surgery. I felt like I was suffocating!

How are y'all?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
