Best of luck to all you September sleevers! -
I am a Pisces: I am 10 on all, no issues whatsoever ( well other than some hair loss) I am 6 months out, 27 lbs from goal so I say I am doing pretty well!

I love spicy foods too and I havent had any issues since surgery....Good old trial and error is all you can do, crossing my fingers for you, I cant imagine no more spicy foods either!

Wow, sorry you had to go thru all that. Why didnt they take it out when they did your sleeve? Sure would have been easier on you! Best of luck for a speedy recovery! -
The Subject Of Food And Meals
kimmy*custis replied to luckylady131's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt the same way, I have to think more about food now than I did before! Sounds like you are on the right track. Your body will tell you when it is ready for a change, mine did. I really didnt have much of an issue getting into the good food routine, there are sooo many good choices out there if you really look. I am doing much better now, 6 months out. I can eat pretty much anything with no issues. Best of luck to you! -
When Do You Start Full Liquids?

I was able to have protein drinks the day I got home, a week later for thinned yogurts, soups etc -
Really Discouraged
kimmy*custis replied to MISSMEWITHIT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are doing great, that sounds about right. Keep up the good work and dont get discouraged, remember, slower weight loss means less loose skin! -
Mine was a computer assessment which took about 15 minutes and then a 15 minute talk with the nut, very simple process, just a bunch of questions , some were kinda stupid but....

That Hair Should Be One My Head...not In The Drain
kimmy*custis commented on tmorgan813's blog entry in A funny thing happend while I was loosing weight
Oh yes...started at 4 months...at 6 months now and still losing it. It is dryer than it was too...driving me crazy!!! I hope it stops soon...I have fine hair and I can reallly notice the difference. It does get better...but when? -
It is too hot here to do much. I have lots of yardwork to do, we have 3/4 of an acre, there is always something to do! Thinking of going to the coast, it is cooler there! Yardwork can wait!!!

Loose Skin/ Hair Loss/ &weight?
kimmy*custis replied to bbypdog's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
First of all...congrats on your weight loss, you are doing amazing! I am 6 months out and have the same issues, hair loss, sagging skin ( that is only on my arms and a little on the butt...lol) You are just where your body needs to be, everyone is different. Keep up the fantastic work! -
If You Had The Choice - Would You Do It Again?
kimmy*custis replied to Babysteppin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Without a doubt...I would do it all over again! I had absolutely no issues. I am 28 lbs from goal in 6 months. Everyone is different but in reading this forum, most had very little or no issues. I wasnt able to lose the weight before but now I am. I had high blood pressure...gone! I have my energy back, I can keep up with the kids now too! I eat what I want. I make healthier choices but I do not go without. Best of luck in your decision. -

Birth Control?... Possibly Tmi
kimmy*custis replied to wikdwich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the info, I will check and see if my prescription plan covers it, I never thought of that! -
Birth Control?... Possibly Tmi
kimmy*custis replied to wikdwich's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was told the same, using the dreaded condoms...grrr! I am thinking an IUD but my insurance doesnt cover it, weird huh? They cover weight loss surgery ( in full 100%) but not birth control like that, unbelievable! My husband is considering a vasectomy since we are 46 and 44, dont need any more kids! -
Sounds like acid reflux, call your doc to make sure. Best of luck to you.

You are doing fantastic, keep up the good work!

kimmy*custis replied to kimmy*custis's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Thanks CaliKat! Looks like you are doing fantastic too! -
I am nervous for some reason...how funny is that? I was thinking maybe I havent lost enough yet but I am down 62 since surgery, 77 total so I guess I shouldnt worry huh? Congrats to all my fellow Feb sleevers, keep up the good work!

Woo hoo! I am excited for you! You will have all the emotions but you will do just fine! Best of luck to you, keep us posted. My surgery went perfectly, no issues at all after other than being tired so hopefully yours will be the same!
