I had hair loss around that time too. It gradually slowed down. I'm just over one year post op and I am not having any problems with "shedding". I get vit B12 injections and eat healthy. Hang in...

Hi, I'm over a year post op sleeve and I too was sick (nauseated) for several weeks. I had a lot of internal swelling and I remember having to stay a few extra days before leaving Mexico. By the...

Congrats Jamie, I know how excited you are! I'm 8 days post op and I am so happy, I can't wait until next summer it will be my first time wearing a bikini! Keep us posted :) We are all cheering...

I think it's mainly excess skin - your stomach looks exactly like how mine did. Mine is flat now though. :) I didn't have skin infections (yet) but the more weight I lost, the more hang I got. As...

Hi Dee :) It may take me a few days to get back to questions but I don't mind answering any questions people have. Just paying it forward :cool:

Ok, try this link for the Dr S discussion...

Hey Dee, I'm not sure how long he's been practicing off the top of my head; I knew that info last october, but I have since forgotten.....You can email him and he will gladly send you info/proof or...

I know it seems like a lot of work, but that is pretty much a typical surgery day for him. You undergo "twilight sedation" so you are breathing all on your own. I woke up feeling great, not...

Thank you :) I'm doing really well; I keep thinking I should be in more pain than this.....don't get me wrong, it hurts but it is totally manageable pain. Yes, I will be posting my pics on my blog...

This is the link to the prices on DR Sauceda's website:

He no longer works with the financing companies because they take a huge percentage off him. ...

I had my arms done (arm pit to elbow), breast reduction and lift, large tummy tuck, large thigh life (inner knee to groin) and lipo on my arms, back, stomach and thighs.

I haven't posted in a very long time, but am happy to announce that I am having plastic surgery in Monterrey, Mexico on July 31st. I am having surgery with Dr. Sauceda whom I feel is an excellent...

You look great, honestly. It's hard to post these pictures but that body is the past now. Rock on with your bad new self!!!!!!

I only have it once in a while....just something I noticed is all, it's weird. I wonder if our stomachs don't absorb the full amount of alcohol? Thanks for the responses everyone.

K, kinda weird question. Before surgery I couldn't handle alcohol - 1 or 2 drinks and I was feel pretty sick. I really didn't like to drink because I always ended up feeling like I was going to...

It's never to late to share your story! I'm glad that you found this forum. You will find this an awesome place to be. I look forward to reading about your successes through your journey. ...

This is the reason that I decided to do self-pay. I live in Canada so our medical system is somewhat different but similar. My GP told me no doubt I would qualify for surgery, however I would have...

Congrats!!!! :)

I never really had anything to "get over" either. I work in the medical field and I'm sure that affects the way I think about things. I watched a video of the procedure and didn't think much of it...

Congrats you are doing awesome!!!! :)

Congrats you are doing awesome!!!! :)

This was a hard one for me too. I was conditioned to "clean" my plate by mother as she was by her mother. When my Grandma was growing up there wasn't a lot of food around and did without at times;...

You are doing awesome!! Too bad about your friends.

So sorry to hear of all of these complications, I am praying for you both.

I think when you have less to lose or if your BMI is lower, the weight tends to come off slower....but I could be wrong.

Josh, you look fantastic! I love reading your posts. Keep up the great work :)
