Hey...Hair loss is very common post surgery which is why it's extremely important to get your protein in...and don't forget those vitamins!!!

The dizzy spells could be due to dehydration or hypotension. I've been experiencing this for several months but found that once I up my water and sodium intake, I'm ok.

Although I check in from time to time, it's been over a year since my last post. I'd forgotten how inspiring and encouraging this site can be. I am down 103 pounds since my sleeve last April. There have been ups and downs and the feeling that I should have lost more at this point, nonetheless I remain committed to my decision to be sleeved. I have no regrets. I do need more discipline when it comes to exercise and am considering an arm lift for these wings
Stay encouraged pe... -
First off, congrats--wishing you continued success on this TOUGH journey. I found that my dizzy spells were the result of dehydration and hypotension. My doc suggested that I carry little packets of salt and of course, drink plenty of water-which I'm bad at.

Hello everyone. I am a new user, however, I have been reading the posts for a couple of weeks now. I, like some, have went back and forth with whether or not to undergo surgery for weight loss. After a visit to my doctor's office (I avoided him for a whole year), and finding that I was borderline diabetic and had hypertension, along with tipping the scales at 346 pounds, I decided enough was enough. I was sleeved on 4/23/12. Since I started my journey, I have lost 51 pounds My goal is 180-190 pounds, given I am 5'11". I am still struggling with my protein intake and I'm just incorporating semi solid foods into my diet. I realize I needed support from those who have gone through what I have and here I am I look forward to reading and sharing in everyone's success stories!!!

Thank you!!! Looking at your stats, you are doing terrific at only four months in! I agree re: this forum being a godsend. The support group meetings are inconvenient for me to get to and are only held once a month. Here, I feel I can get all the support I need, when I need it

They say to expect your stomach to be swollen for several days-mine was swollen for two weeks, so expect it to be swollen for some time. As far as gas goes, I see you posted six days ago. I'm hoping that by now you have passed gas. VERY uncomfortable I know. Without taking anything, I passed gas on the third day. Good luck!
