I spoke with the DR about that yesterday. She said that we hit platues after fast weightloss to allow our body shape to catch up with the loss. Measure your body weekly and see where the inches are coming off. 219 was mine for 3 weeks but I lost so many inches it was crazy. Also muscle wieghs more so as you tone your weight might become stagnant. Oh and he said that our goals and our bodies goals are different! No that made me plum mad. He told me that as I may want to be 120 my body may say no.. 140 is where we are staying!! But I do say that 140 is sooo much better then 259!!! Amen....

I am 14 weeks post op and have dyed my hair twice. No problems here. But I only wash my hair and blow dry it 2x a week because of the hair loss. My stylest recommend getting ot professionall washed 2x a month at least bercause the vigorous washing stimulated the scalp and new hair growth. Dr said absolutley correct. So I treat myself! I am lucky that my hair is not oily.

I had similar issues but it passes. You feel like hell but it does get better.

It actually depends on your Doc and insurance. I had BCBS and they tested me 2-3 weeks prior to surgery for nicotine and cotine. Cotine stays in your system for 3-4 weeks. I smoked for 30 years and did not want to quit so I studied it. I am happy to say that I am now smokefree since October! Good luck!

I am 8 weeks out and can not find anything to help my funk! It is horrible!! Has anyone else had this problem. I have been avoiding my husband for a month without showering first and finally came clean lastnight. He says he does not notice it. Well I do!!!

How funny I bought the same ones last night and tried them this morning. OMG Yuck! I could only get down half. I figure at 42g I will keep trying! LOL

I had my LabBand in 2008, my kids were 9 and 10. I told them once the surgery ws scheduled and explained the benefits. They were so excited to have a healthier me that the morning of the surgery they kissed me and said by old mommy and I can't wait to meet new mommy. Now the RNY is riskier but I still would have told them right away. It gives them time to think of questions and time for you to answer and reassure them. Good luck!! and Congrats!!!
