My Dr put me on a liquid diet for 3 days prior to surgery. I have read and seen so many variations of what's allowed post op. It's crazy how much they can vary from surgeon to surgeon. My surgeon...

I know I haven't posted here in a while, but I'm really hoping that my questions are welcome anyway.

I am just over 6 months post op. Feeling great, doing great, healthier and more active than...

Last time I flew I was around 300 lbs, and the seat belt did not fit around me. (Bought one seat) I was so embarrassed I did not ask for an extender. I kept me sweater over my wait like a blanket...

Congratulations on the upcoming surgery and good luck. My recovery went pretty well. I won't lie, the first few days post op were rough, and I found myself wondering more than once what I had gotten...

My surgeon said he likes to see an average of 4 lbs per week. I have yet to average that. I'm close, I'm at about a 3.5 lbs per week average. NOW.. that being said.. I love 12.6 the first week post...

And here I was feeling good about having lost 35 lbs since 2/22/12. Wow that's fantastic. Congrats to you.

Hubby is a full time comic book writer, he's wanting me to quit my job and work for him. However, we have to be responsible, I won't do it unless we can find a good, reasonably priced medical...

It's a big step, but I have yet to meet anyone who's ever regretted doing it. I'm almost 8 week post op. Best decision I've ever made. Good luck to you!

Well I'm going to be 40 this year, so I'm thinking my baby making years are over, but, my surgeon told me not for a year.

Having just self paid to have my surgery the end of February, (unfortunately I wasn't aware of Dr. Alvarez before I had my surgery so I paid $18,000.00) I won't be able to afford the trip. Not to...

I'm having a horribly stressful day at work so for the first time in a long while, I took a Xanex (I have an rx for it of course.) It's the smallest dosage they make .25. I took one, but OMG I feel...

I've wondered that too. My hubby asked me that the other day, "when you reach goal, how do you stop losing?" I couldn't answer him, told him I'd ask at my next post op appt. Would be curious to...

Never had that experience but I'm very sorry that you're going through it. Hang in there.
