Just curious how we are holding up.

Hi, Jayson!

I'm losing a little hair, but it was really thick to begin with, so I don't mind too much :-). I love my new low/typical blood pressure, low cholesterol, low blood sugar, etc. I need to update my weight ticker - I'm at 157 with 29% body fat which I'm pleased with, too.

Hope you're doing great as well and that we hear from some other November 11 people:) !

I'm close - 11/14/13...

I'm doing OK - I'm down 44 since surgery, 62 total.

I'm losing a lot of hair - A LOT; I hope it stops soon.

I haven't found anything that bothers my stomach - that's a double edged sword

I feel great - lots of energy

I am feeling less and less like a weight loss surgery patient

How are you doing????

I'm still trying to reach goal weight of 165. I'm 183 now. I get bloodwork done tomorrow. Check my levels. But overall can't complain.

congrats!!!!!!!

11\12\13 here. Doing good off bp meds starting weight 275 day of surgery 260 now 194 I feel great.

Guess what I have to see a urologist cause of pain when I pee. They suspect there might be scar tissue from the sleeve surgery blocking.

I started my annual physical today and the subject came up of the pain. They ruled out my prostate which was mad uncomfortable if anybody had that done before knows what I mean. I don't have to test my blood sugar anymore. However I have a problem with my blood pressure during body movement. The medical doctor wants to consult with my sleeve surgeon. They suspect that they might have to add another meal daily. So that would mean 4 meals a day up from 3. I hope I don't need surgery again with this peeing problem.

Blood pressure during movement

I was sleeved on 11/13/13. Doing well down 59 lbs since surgery. Wanting to break into the 100's. I've been hovering between 200.2 and 201.8 all week. Doing fine but just found out I have a minor stricture that will be fixed endoscopically on Friday. I can only eat 1-2 ounces and get a little nauseous after I eat so doctor wanted it checked. I don't throw up but just feel kind of blah for about 1/2 hour after eating. Doc says opening the stricture will make a world of difference. I still supplement with two shakes a day to get enough protein. Hair is fine, no issues, taking 6000 mcg biotin daily along with all other vitamins. Best decision I've made for myself, want to lose another 30-40 lbs but can actually see it happening this year.
