Why did you have surgery just needing 50 lbs??? Ok a little bit angry there cause most of have this surgery needing to loose so much more. Your body will adjust so don't panic. Take in more...
I waited about two weeks. The sad part is my hair is still falling out but I keep taking it hoping that it will stop and start growing back. :-))
I have been trying small amounts (maybe 2 oz) since about 6 weeks out. I'm now 3 1/2 months and it still hasn't gotten much easier. I love steak so it sucks but it sits like rocks in my tummy for...
It's fairly slow but constant. I've lost at least 1/3 of my hair and this has been going on for a month now. I'm truly hoping it stops soon!!
I started loosing mine at 3-1/2 months and am still loosing it. I religiously took my vitamins, all my protein and biotin, still happened. From what my doc said and what I've read it is a very...
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience, but it sounds like you there was a chance your surgery couldn't take place. Maybe you should have done more research and selected a different doctor that...
Dr. Almanza did mine and I had a great experience. Can't beat $4500!!!
Its the lack of sugar and heavy carbs.
Yep it's the withdrawals from the sugar and caffeine. I had to do the two week pre-op diet also. Those first few days were the worst. All I could think about was food. I swore every commercial on...
You can remove your own stitches.
My best friend and I were sleeved Oct 26 by Dr. Almanza and are doing fabulous. I would highly recommend Dr. A, the clinic and his staff.
I don't know where he had his surgery but a lot of the people in his clinic had surgery also. He's so good because that's all he does. Six days a week with 3-6 surgeries a day gives a person a lot...
Just a quick post about the recovery house. Maybe something was different the two nights I stayed but they didn't cook 24/7. It was early morning and early afternoon. The cook was gone by 4. The...
Ok I must be a rebel cause I've been eating Romain lettuce since wk 3. My best friend on the other hand can't eat it yet. It's weird how two different stomachs can tolerate things differently.
I ate a few spoon fulls of mashed potatoes at 5 days post-op and did just fine. I ate a lot of soft noodle soups, yogurt and Popsicle.
Wow, good luck. You're in good hands. Just remember to not be afraid to ask for medication and to try and get up and walk every hour. I was never in true pain but the gas sure made me feel...
You should be able to. I'm going to.
I've used my cpap for 2 1/2 years. My machine was adjusted 6 months ago because I had gained weight. I used my machine the second night post-op and had no problems. Again the air goes into your...
The hospital and recovery house both have phone that u can make calls out. I don't know about calls coming in. I also called AT&T and added texting for Mexico for like $5.
I would also highly recommend the recovery house. The accommodations are nice and the nursing care is fabulous. I stayed in the larger room and there was three of us which I didn't mind at all. ...
Well my best friend and I are sitting here with our bellies exposed letting our stitches dry since having surgery Wednesday. Honestly looking at all the photos on line of the clinic and recovery...
The Kona Kai on the Island down by the marina.
Michelle, Becky and I are here in San Diego also. We are suppose to meet at the Jet Blue Terminal 2 at 9:00 am. See u in the morning!
Yes it is and I'm really shocked. I've dropped 17 lbs in 9 days, so it's possible.
