I realized I haven't been on here in awhile so I wanted to give an update. I just had my 6-month post op at the end of August and I have lost 76 lbs so far! I cannot be happier with my results and...

16 weeks after surgery and I have lost 57 lbs from my highest weight before surgery and 50 lbs since the day of surgery. I knew I would probably get under 200 sometime this week but I didn't expect...

The lap band has too many follow ups for adjustmens and it is a foreign body in your body, so many covert to the sleeve from the lap band.

I can eat just about anything 6 weeks out but in tiny portions. I feel sick if I have too much milk. I feel a hard ball in my chest bone if I eat too big a bite or too much. If I eat noodles I don't...

Jooa try some cream of wheat

I walked hunched over for days then my neck and back muscles hurt from overcompensating. I used a heating pad on the sore muscles but NOT on the incisions. Have you tried gasX strips to see if the...

My surgeon felt that people should have the gastric bypass if they are not extremely motivated with their food habits because the GB is the gold standard they compare everything too...it's been...

I couldn't be happier with my results so far, especially since I was only able to lose 6 lbs on my own before surgery. My jeans are all very loose and people are really starting to notice a big...

You can do whatever you feel most comfortable with.

I think it's Prilosec or omeprazole

Totally, I shake in bed and slept with my robe on one night recently, Lol

I did it to myself again, had a snack right before bed, 30 min later woke up to acid from my stomach in my throat, it burns and doesn't go away if you drink something. I took some TUMS chewables and...

I forgot to post that I had my post op appt (I am about 5 weeks out and it was 1 week ago that I could get back to the surgeon). I had a rash around every incision but he was not worried about it,...

So I decided to try some biotin as a suppliment and ended up getting hives everywhere. Not taking that again. Turns out I already had some in my multivitamin and didn't realize I bought the "High...

It is VERY common to need your gallbladder out after sudden weight loss. The pain of a galbladder attack is worse than surgery and can radiate to your back. To me, it felt like an alien wanting to...

Is it going to be that time of the month? Woman tend to get hungry during PMS and I read we crave an extra 100 calories per day during that time because our bodies burn it off.

great job, thanks for the update. I have lost about 30 since surgery 5 weeks ago so I like to hear what I MIGHT expect 3 and 6 months out as well.

My husband was allowed with my in the preop area until the second I left for surgery. If you have a child with you that most likely will not happen. My 5-year-old visited me, walked with me, and came...

Not at all, I couldn't believe it...I didn't even have so much as a tummy ache. No nausea, no vomiting, no gas pains. It didn't hurt to drink after unless you gulp a bunch down at once so just sip.

I was thinking heartburn or acid reflux, I have to look up what that is exactly.

Last night I ate a little cottage cheese before bedtime. I went to bed about 15 min later. I was asleep and I woke up to my throat burning like stomach acid shot up into my throat. What the heck was...

Proof it works, congratulations!

I felt the same, it was not as bad as I expected. Having my gallbladder out was way worse to me.

I ate too many Girl Scout cookies, but I still lost and I went back on track. I sneak into a bag of chips sometimes but I eat like 3 then stop myself. I thought I would have more self control but we...

We also still lose inches even when the scale doesn't add up. I put my jeans on after a week of no loss and they were looser than the first time. Do not be surprised if you go a week or more with no...
