I'm sorry this happened to you - and to Itonya77 - they are inserting a stent into her sleeve to keep it open. I will be thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way

I'm 2 days away and still nervous, but as I told my husband. I think I am more afraid of what will happen if I don't have this surgery and get this weight under control.
My post op instructions are suggesting Zinc once every 3 days for hair loss
It was my therapist that kept telling me I was "too small" for surgery. God knows I have spent years learning how to camoflauge my body. But seriously, all my weight is belly fat, I look...
That is an NSV that is right up my alley!! Aging better than the ex - is the best!! I've always wanted to live better, look better, and feel better than any of my exes, and I mean even the ones...
My surgery is Tues. and I am pretty sure I won't be pain free - I will admit to being a wuss about pain though. I think what everyone seems to forget is that this is major surgery. Yes, you only...
Have you had your Thyroid levels checked?
Hey Msvetrn,
I love your after photos of your surgeries, you should get kickbacks from your plastic surgeon!! He did a fantastic job on those arms. I think you should come with me when I get...
Talk to your surgeon, like Hev said they are all different. I'm sure your activity level pre-surg, your age, your joint issues, etc. all have something to do with it
I'm sorry about your sister, but i've got a brother - so you don't need to say more. Hopefully, you'll be one of the ones who fly through it. But, the other ladies are right, just get as prepared...
That would be a biggie for me too, so congratulations on your BMI NSV - enjoy!!
You said that your sister is a nurse and she has "stories". You may need a little help after surgery, what about your sister, the nurse. I have read stories on here about people that have no pain,...
That was really interesting, I had heard the 60% avg - but I intend to try for more
5 miles at 2 weeks out, you're still recovering. Have you tried a whey protein 42g "bullet"? I guess you can get them at Wal-Mart. They are about 3.8 ozs. and very syruppee and sweet, I mix a 1/4...
Kori - Congratulations for getting through your 1st smoke - free day!!! I quit 6 weeks ago tomorrow and I will say that what got me to this point was the e-cig. I get cartridges with no nicotine,...
Congrats on your NSV!
Welcome, you're in the right place
Wow!! You have done great! Keep us updated on the plastics
Just to let you know, everyone has lived through the liquid diet and the surgery!
Glad to hear you're fine!!
That's a nasty rumor!! You can dye your hair, it just may fall out!!
Thank god for thick hair. The loss of hair is temporary, and it will grow back.
Don't do it!! It takes 14 days for your sleeve to heal.
I'm sorry that your birthday "opened the floodgates" to carbs - but we all have food issues. As we all have been taught, the sleeve is a tool. It makes your stomach smaller, it doesn't address the...
I would consider that a victory!! Maybe it just took a little while for your "gremlins" to get the message!
