Try Lexapro. I take it, and have for years, with no weight gain. I have not lost as much as I wanted, but I am stable. I may go up a couple of pounds one week, but it goes back down. My dr does...

At the end of the day, you have to be able to respect yourself. Don't let anyone take that away from you. While the two of your talking is good, you still need to talk to someone else. Lots of...

My dr also used a size 40 bougie, it is what he prefers. I had a 7 month checkup last month, and am 76 pounds down. I am having issues with snacks, so am trying to keep "OK" stuff on hand. Deli...

Ann, you are right about older women being at less risk for low iron. I had 3 month blood work done, everything was fine, I am having 6 month done tomorrow. I always take B12, because I have...

I was sleeved in December 2014 and turned 59 in January 2015. I am now down 66 pounds and more than a few inches. I have no regrets, just wish I had done it sooner.

I don't know, but, I was watching a video on Youtube this morning about this very thing. I don't remember the name, but it was a dr in Mexico who specializes in weight loss surgery. He said that...

Try Lane Bryant. The same people who do bras for Victoria's Secret also make them for Lane Bryant.

I live in Pasadena.

I can't eat pasta or bread. It sits like a lump for hours.

I can understand. My husband did not really want me to do this, but I did. I explained to him it was not about him, it was about me and taking control of my life. Now, he does not want to talk...

I just turned 59, had surgery on December 17, and have lost fifty pounds.

Someone did not know what they were talking about.

ann

I don't know if you can request a surgeon or not, I didn't try. I was ok till I tried to take my liquid pain meds, and that started me throwing up and it just would not stop. It took a double...

I used the location downtown. My surgeon was Dr Christopher Rielly. How long it takes depends a lot on your insurance. I had to have four office visits, a psyc consultation, sleep apnea study,...

I have had pernicious anemia for several years. So far, I have been able to just take B12 by mouth to keep things going ok, next blood work will tell.

A few years ago, I found out my two year old...

Today, I had 756 calories and 51 grams of protein. I will try harder tomorrow to get protein up and calories down.

ann

I use the Unjury unflavored protein in soups. I really can't taste it. I also add some non fat cottage cheese to protein shakes. Right now, I have a 28oz glass with 1/2 packet of Crystal Lite...

Katrina, I am so sorry this did not go well for you. What has your dr suggested trying to improve things?

I do not regret doing this. I do struggle every day to get enough protein, I think I...

I know someone who did it, she was paid $5,000 per donation. Once, they gave her too many hormones, and she produced 49 eggs, they paid the same rate. She was also sick enough that time to never do...

I have not wanted coffee since surgery. Crazy thing is, I haven't wanted tea, either, and I was a huge tea drinker. I mentioned this to my dr, and told me "good, it isn't good for you anyhow. This...

I don't seem to be losing any yet, but I know it is going to happen. Thank goodness I have always had very thick hair. I am hoping this will be a good thing.


ann

Can they keep you for observation for 23 hours post surgery? I had mine inpatient, spent one night and a day, and went home. The next day I was back in the hospital throwing up and dehydrated, and...

Ann, I believe the style is balconette? It isn't a full cup design and seems to fit better.

ann

I also had Dr Reily, and I liked him a lot. I even asked how many of these procedures he had done, his complication rate, and he answered. Even one of the nurses talked about what a good dr he was....

Nectar Fuzzy Navel and Lemonade. I also add the Unjury unflavored to just about everything, I can't taste it.

My appointment is also Tuesday, at 8:15. I am eating eggs, fish, chicken, and soft vegetables in addition to all the stuff on the soft diet. I am taking a Centrum chewable, a B-12, and a vitamin D...
