I'm 4 years post op gastric sleeve. I've traveled via airplane this week for the first time since I had surgery. When I left Thursday I had to be patted down due to an anomaly showing up on the scanner. The same thing happened to me today going through security a little while ago. I'm not wearing the same clothes as I was on Thursday so that's out. The tsa agent patting me down asked if I had ever had any abdominal surgeries. I told them I had. Anyone else experience this? It kind of surprised me. I got to see the area in question both days and it's the exact same area on my body both times. Before anyone asked about surgeries, I was starting to feel this could be due to my sleeve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried posting this in the powder room but it wouldn't let me. Lol My 20th high school reunion is in a couple weeks. Which shoes do you think look best with this dress? I'm leaning towards the shoes in the top left hand corner as they are flats. Opinions welcomed. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't struggle during these holiday weekends any longer. I'm like Christinamo7, and usually don't eat enough on the weekends, versus the amount of activity I do on the weekends. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm 4 years post op. I stopped smoking one month before my surgery. I stayed not smoking for two more years following surgery. However I fell off the wagon and started smoking. Been smoking again for 2 years. No ulcer issues. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also do intermittent fasting. I only eat between the hours of 12pm-8pm. Been doing it for a couple months now and I like it. I am a firm believer the sleeve doesn't stretch Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any of y'all upgrade to the VIP membership ? Is it worth it? What do you like about it? I've been thinking about it, wanted some input. Thanks Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Oh my goodness it's been awhile since I've been here! I only see a few names I recognize! I had my sleeve on 06/12/12. I lost 102 lbs. unfortunately I have gained 35lbs within the last two years. About a month ago, I started weighing and logging my food on mfp again. I started gaining when I stopped logging my food and making myself accountable. Since I started logging again I've lost 14lbs. So now I'm 21lbs away from my lowest weight and 27 away from my original goal weight. I'm going to do this. The good thing about my sleeve is even though I fell off the wagon, it's still here to help me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm excited, I weighed in at my lowest weight after surgery this morning. So, I've managed to take off my 35lb regain. I was aiming for 168 as my goal weight, but I've pushed it to 165 now. So 9lbs to go. I'll see how I feel about losing more when I get there. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Well, obviously this is not your case as you stated you get all your Protein in, but when I backslide on the types of food I'm eating, aka not enough protein, I start losing my hair a lot. It still happens to me 4 years out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That happens to women who haven't had surgery. They might even gain, due to Water retention. It's very common. Try to not let it stress you. I've been stuck at the same weight for 7 days due to these reasons. I'm expecting a whoosh soon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
