Lost 30 lbs but didnt go down a size? Extra skin question
ElleG replied to Jenny's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here! I still fit the same clothes but my legs and arms are smaller my face is different. The weight is coming off from all over so it will just take some time. Congrats to you ALL! -
Starving and wondering how im gonna do this
ElleG replied to janel129's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleep as much as you can, it makes the time fly and your not thinking about food. DON'T allow people to cook around you or stay away from the kitchen if the family is cooking the sight and smell will get you. You CAN do this! -
2.5 hours until the rest of my life

Best Wishes!!! I'm sure it will all go smoothly! Plus they usually give you something to "relax" you, very soon you will have no worries! -
(HUGS) I understand. I felt myself going there, but I just started thinking about the new foods I love. I wanted a big burger so bad (watching Man v. Food) so I got a little burger with cheese lots of lettuce pickles and ketchup and no bun. I was in heaven. If I want something I will get the healtiest version of it I can find (EXCEPT anything Fried, w/ sugar, junk etc.) Hang in there, this too shall pass

I love this! I totally agree I was thinking what am I doing wrong and a RNY Buddy said drink more water and WAHHHHLAAAA I started moving. I also went to kickboxing class and ate lots and lots and lots of veggies. It's a process, but a beautiful one!

I'm glad u know what it is now...and hope the labs come back good

I try to wait a minimal of 30 minutes. It's hard because I always ate and drank togeather. Yes it washes the food out and your hungry again. They want the full feeling to last so your eating less

I would get in with the PCP they can test your blood and check your levels to see if that's the issue. I hope you get to feeling better soon, but limit your driving just in case so it doesn't happen while you on the road. How is your blood pressure are you on meds?

I have Blue Care Network... They always sent me a copy of the "bill" that they pay. I can also look online to see what has been submitted to them for payment, what they paid and what they rejected

Congrats!!! And Good Luck!

when was everyones first stall?
ElleG replied to askinnyme1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stalled between weeks 4 and 5. So I guess it is true it happens to everyone. We just have to ride them out! Good Luck Everyone! -
I didn't tell anyone, but JESUS. My mom kinda knows and I say kinda because she drove me to the hospital but she doesn't really know what I did. I rather just keep it to myself. Good luck to you

Congrats Ladies!!!!

I was in extreme pain from the revision, BUT that doesn't mean it will happen to u. The pain meds weren't helping it was horrible, Again that was just my experience I have had a lot of surgeries that was worse than getting my gallbladder out, BUT I survived the pain is gone and praise God! I'm losing weight.
-
I am too, just my face. My skin is so rough and it burns at times. I haven't had any issues since I was a teenager so I just thought it was all the meds we take all the crap they pumped in. I hope it's temporary, but for right now I walk around smelling like A & D ointment that is the only thing that doesn’t irritate me LOL
-
Thankfully I was able to have my done at the same time out with the old in with the new! That surgery was a doozy for me so I don't wan to be touched for several years LOL

New here but happy to be here!
ElleG replied to ajustice's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Congrats!!! Just hink the best is yet to come! -
I would have a very serios talk with the doctor. You should not be treated that way and his staff is paid to keep things organized so no excuses The doctor should address it, trust me if they are that bad your not the only patient with a issue. My previous PCP I had the same issue. I spoke with the doc, then I kind of felt bad for the staff he started to crack the Whip. I was in a room waiting for a EKG and he came back, the test still was not done and the nurse was coming he just shook his head and said "good help is hard to find". I didn't see her anymore. Sometimes the staff belong to the "office" maybe they have a office manager, but definately talk to the doctor. This procedure is for you, your life, your family. Don't let that foolishness stop you... Get it done while you can before you loose the benefits!! Best Wishes

I'm glad I only have one, it's the size of a quarter and very thick. I have to chew it. It makes me want to puke, but I'm glad it's just one LOL
