    I've been doing eyelash extensions for several years now and am always looking for the best tools for the job. I recently heard about stainless steel tweezers from Stacy Lash and want to know what my colleagues think. Have any of you used Stacy Lash tweezers before? How do they handle the precise and complex job of eyelash extensions? What are your impressions of their quality and ease of use? Please share your experience and recommendations. I will be very grateful for your feedback.

    Stomach flu recovery time?

    Hello all, I’m one year, two months out from surgery (SADI-S) and had my first case of a stomach flu this past Saturday. Bad diarrhea, and felt bad for two days, aches, cramps, etc… typical noro type virus. My issue is while the icky, sick feelings went away, the diarrhea has stayed. This is my first stomach flu since surgery and I’m wondering if the recovery time is longer because of my different plumbing? I don’t want to be an alarmist and run to the doctor if the recovery time is longer for bariatric patients? Maybe just takes longer to reestablish the Flora in the gut? I have tried modifying my diet as best I can along with Imodium A.D., but I just can’t firm things up, LOL. Any advice or experience would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

    February 2024 Surgery Buddies?

    I wake up at 3:30 am every morning. Work starts at 5 am. It's hard for me to go to bed at 9 pm. But I try anyway, only to toss and turn. I don't like taking meds to sleep. I may need a new sleep study just to see if I need the bipap. They did tell me that I may not need it after losing a lot of weight. They suggested that would be about a year out. As I mentioned in other posts, they warned me about exhaustion so that is definitely where I'm at. I hope it gets better soon. Being tired all the time isn't fun.

    Sadi is so lonely

    That is something that’s still in the back of my mind. I have heard mixed things about them though. I plan to speak with the surgeon about them before I make my final decision.

    It took me 10 days to be able to compartmentalize everything to explain what happened. It was a lot, to be sure. I'm just so glad it's over.

    I am wishing you all the best for your surgery! I have mine on the 14th so I will let you know how it goes and we can keep in touch if you like? I haven't had surgery since I was about 2-3 years old! I am DEFINITELY taking my crocs, and they will be put in sports-mode for my shuffles down the corridor haha. I second the no more back pain!

    Having second thoughts.

    Just wanted to update everybody. I did it! I did have some pain right after the surgery, but the nurses gave me something that really worked. I haven't had a ton of pain since. I'm doing good with my fluids and am now 411. I was 429 on the day of surgery. It's awesome!
