Hi Katrina, just checking in to see if you had your tummy tuck yet? I'm seriously considering this myself. Just worry about getting the time off of work. -Mara

Hi Juney,

I can only speak for my situation. My process began in June. After clearance from my primary doctor I had my consult with the Bariatric department along with their necessary testing,...

We share a very similar history. I am from the SW suburbs of Chicago. I had my sleeve at University of Chicago last Sept. Best decision I have ever made, just wish I would have made it...

Hope all goes well. What is "toad froth'?

Awesome news Tamera! So happy for you :)

Good Day All,

Getting really tired of the "mammoth sized multivitamins". It feels like I have rocks in my tummy! Any suggestions on a multivitamin that is easier to swallow or chewable?

Congrats on your surgery! The best advice I could give would be to tighten your abdominal muscles (like you were holding in your stomach) when you would stand up, sit up or even roll over in bed....

Good morning and yes it has just started. Trying to eliminate blow drying but in the middle of winter its hard to avoid. Hopefully it won't last too long.

I am about 4 1/2 months out and I have starting loosing a lot of my hair....it is considerably thinner. Very concerned and sure hope this is temporary. I am getting in my vitamins, protein and...

You are looking fabulous my friend! Hope you are feeling just as good. Curious as to what your questions to the veterans might be. I too like reading the experiences from others. I am almost four...

Hi Dale,

You look fantastic!! I know your story all too well. I absolutely refused to let anyone take pictures of me. I hid behind that camera more than I can say. I hope some day that will be a thing of the...

Congrats on your surgery! I am from Homer Glen. Had my sleeve 9/28! Lots of great supportive members here. You will never feel alone. Good luck on your journey!

Hi There,

I think we all experience different emotions prior to surgery. For me it was more anxiety than anything, second guessing my decisions. But I kept the main goal in focus. I wanted to lose...

Hi,
I am in the same boat! Had my surgery 9/28 and I am having a very hard time getting soft foods down. I try to eat small bites very slowly. It almost hurts going down. Yogurt, sugar free...
