Hello my fellow sleevers - I had 5 trigger point injections last month for rheumatoid arthritis. I have been eating all day for the past 3 weeks seemingly nonstop and can now eat and drink at the same time. Have I stretched my pouch, is this temporary, please help.

Hey friends,
What is the trick to getting the last 5 pounds off? My weight is moving back and forth between 133 and 135. I am walking at least 3 times per day but have not reached that mark. Any advice?

Hi all I am just under one year (March 1) of having the gastric sleeve surgery. I am happy with my weight loss especially since going from 227 to 135, but very disappointed with all the sagging skin on my arms, thighs, and stomach and not to mention my breasts look like two empty stockings. Any suggestions on surgery - mommy makeover or body lift?

I am six months postop and noticed the past few months that my naturally thin hair is thinning to the point it comes out in the comb and brush. I need desperately for someone to offer suggestions for getting this hair to growing again. I try to get in the recommended amount of protein but it is not helping.

I am having a hard time trying to figure out what I should be eating at this stage. Last week, the doctor said to begin soft diet and progress as tolerated. I have been eating soft fish (steamed Talapia, broccoli, okra, tomatoes, etc) and not seemingly getting in enough proteins and water. I seem to have also stalled on weight loss as i am not losing weekly... any suggestions?
