Some can live with the loose skin. I can live with my flappy wings as I do not like sleeveless. I would like to have my thighs n but done, but can not see the expense and time.. Had stomach skin removed in Sept and it is a terrific improvement. In my ability to wear nice clothes and exercise and feel confident I waited 3…

almost 4 years out and i still do not do steak, pork. limited chicken, but lots of fish. you do what you need to do i still get 80 gms of protein daily in shakes, and 2=3 ounces of fish, yogurt, beans, ground meat, crock pot met

3 yrs out, bariatric advantage makes a capsule, 3 per day recommended, but one a day keeps my labs fine, plus calcium which i do not absorb well.

i miss motrin. check with doc, but some OTC topical creams give relief, as do heating pads, or ice on knees after exercise.

your doctor spoke with honesty and gave good advice, at 3 years out i know those 5-10 pounds to play with.

What is IKR?

I had the RNY in 2010. It put my diabetes in total remission , cured my sleep apnea. Gastric sleeve was not widely used in 2010, and RNY was considered the gold standard. I do miss NASIDS and it is true you should never use them again. I have only one malabsorption issue, and that is calcium, and that is not necessarily…

What i find awkward is meeting up with people who have regained it all and have given up. Usually happens in a social situation, as they are scarfing down huge quantities of high calorie food and beverage, an i am eating as i should. After 4 years, every bite of food at a party is a constant decision to eat or avoid,…

yes. there is a lot of swelling that takes time to go down.

i paid for mine as my insurance did not cover retirees it was way less than a new car. new cars lose value as soon as you leave the lot. this is the beginning of a new healty life. m minneapolis has many excellent surgery centers. St Paul Surgeons and Dr Peter Kelly was my surgeon. So impressed with him, that ai asked him…

all i can say is that i wish i had gone this route earlier. it is not defeat, it is making the best of medical technology that we have for morbid obesity. yes i was there for too many years, thinking i could do it by exercise and diet alone. go forward, start your changes now be happy that you have taken the first step…

If this persists, check with doctor. Sometimes big weight loss yields to gallbladder issues....... Gallbladder issues similar to dumping. As shakes have almost no fat, gallbladder symptoms should subside. What you may be thinking is sugar dumping, is really excess fat causing your gall bladder to become irritated, nausea,…

I use chia seeds I my protein shakes. I make sure the swell up before eating the by letting the shake Steian & Tarquin for several hours before drinking. I also use a little extra magnesium or a vitamin high in magnesium. Kale shakes also loosen things up:smooched:

Ditto, except she is young, and young skin shrinks..... Also who knows what scars lie under the clothing.

Listen to your doc! I am glad you get to do "part" or light duty work. If you feel restless, go for a walk. A long walk, a fast walk, as far as I know, there are no restrictions on walking. I waited 3 years after Bariatric surgery to make sure the pounds lost stayed off. In Oct, I had a tummy tuck to get rid of excess…

Ask your gynecologist. As you are losing weight, the hormones stored in fat are being relleased n irregular fashion. After belly fat gone, things should even ought

I had abdominoplasty, paniculectomy, and a little lipo on back waist area in oct. Wonderful results. Developed a hernia post tummy tuck. Had that repaired yesterday. Now back to gym. Plastic surgeon said I would not see final image for a year.

Concentrate on getting rid of kidney stones, be true to your. Previous food choices, obviously the work, and don't fret over surgeons feeling or opinions. Surgery is a tool, so use it. The surgeon is the tool grifter, he is glad to see you using your tool.

Concentrate on protein, high fiber veggies, cut out white products, sugar, flour, potatoe, rice and pasta. Follow a gastric bypass rule, no drinking with meals. Log your foods, , plan ahead, so fast food does not temp. Good luck, This happened to a friend, she lost 10 pounds before the revision was done. When she had her…
