Hi Parker, I also had my surgery in Tijuana March 24, 2015, so I'm a little past my 4-year surgerversary. I am beyond thrilled that I had this surgery and don't regret it for a second. I followed...

Hi, I probably wouldn't get Cool Sculpting because it's meant to work on Fat and pretty firm Fat at that. My Sister who is in amazing shape but has that pregnancy belly which is as firm as it gets...

I'm sure you are and believe me I know how hard it can be. Like I said I am just really surprised they allow real food to be pureed this early in the process because I wasn't allowed anything but...

Hi Michele, Congratulations on the start of your new you! Something In your post made me go Hmmm, I am a little shocked that your eating chicken salad already, pureed or not. If I am correct you just...

Oh My Gosh! Although I never go to Sonic, we just don't have one that's close but WOW 2000 calories for a shake! it just blows my mind when you actually see the numbers in writing. I remember the...

Have you ever taken Flexoral? I have really bad arthritis, bersistis sp? in my right shoulder which is also sprained from a fall I had. Whenever it flairs up I take a flexoral and it really helps,...

I really can't wrap my head around the fact that they are telling you that these are your only options but if I had to choose I would definitely go with the feeding tube solely because it's not...

I'm no Dr. and can't quite answer if this is normal or not but I do know that you are not the only one this has ever happened to. I would definitely continue to reach out to your Dr. and if you don't...

Ghost_ryder is correct, Katrina has been through hell and back with this topic so she would most likely be the best person to reach out to. With that said I am so sorry you are experiencing this and...

Hi Sharlene, I only told my immediate Family because I didn't want to hear it either. I started at 200lbs. so I knew if I told anyone they would be super judgemental and give me grief. The only thing...

You lost a really good amount of weight and that is absolutely fantastic. Remember that especially after 2 years we can eat sooooo much more that we could when we first started out. I also have...

That's great! I know it's scary but you'll be just fine I promise, just do everything you are told before and after and there shouldn't be any issues at all! Good Luck! Oh wow, I just noticed you...

So happy for you and your future! I had surgery with Dr. Almanza March 24, 2015 and I couldn't be any happier. They took great care of me especially Nurse Alex at the Hotel. The Hotel was very clean...

I eat much smaller amounts than I used to which is kind of the point and how I lost 10lbs. over my goal. The only times I have been nauseous and thrown up was when I took a large pill and gulped too...

All depends on weight, age and genetics. They do make under garments like Spanx for men that you could definitely wear under your swimsuit if that's your main issue. It would be like wearing a boxer...

Congratulations Steven, Sounds like your doing really well. The fact that you have a very smart partner that went out of their way to make you a spreadsheet to track everything shows that you have a...

Exactly what Pam G. said we need more information. Also if you are not getting your protein in and or water the first few months that could be it. If you've been drinking sugary drinks like orange...

Hi Jen, So first question is how old are you if you don't mind me asking. There may be more to the story than just the weight loss. I am 1 year and 8 months out and my very last period was the day...

For starters your not alone in saying to yourself "What the hell did I do to myself" many people feel this way at first. It also sounds as if you were not only not educated on what this surgery...

I flew 4 days post-op and had no issues

Hey there, you are so welcome and I'm so happy what I said helped you! It's a really great feeling getting recognized for giving good advice and knowing I made a difference. I am so happy to hear how...

How much do you weigh now though? I was 200 lbs. and 5'7" and dropped 70lbs. within 5 months. The thing is I would have been happy with a 50lb. weight loss but I bypassed that with no effort on my...

Troll or not if this is a real question then I am going to give my 2 cents and leave it at that. You need to understand that there honestly wouldn't be a respectable Dr. that would touch you with a...

I take 2 B12 Vitamins, 2 D Vitamins. 2 Multi Vitamins, 2 C Vitamins and 1 monthly B12 injection. The reason for 2 of each is well because that's what the bottle says to take. My level were checked...

Being scared is completely understandable I'm pretty sure we all were before out surgeries, you will be just fine. It doesn't say where your going or who your Dr. is but I'm sure you've done your...
