I've always eaten lots of fiber, will I be able to eat fiber (ie bran muffins, fiber rich cereals, flax seed muffins) after surgery? I need the fiber because colon cancer runs in my family. Thanks, mary

As we are losing weight is there any creams that will help the skin rejuvinate some so it's not quite so saggy? I'm thinking on legs, arms, stomach and butt. Thanks, mary

Thanks for all the info. But, now I'm really concerned. After 7 months you have a leak? Is this something I have to worry about my whole life? I guess I thought the leaks only happened right at first. Mary

While I'm losing weight, I understand about eating 800 calories a day. But, once I hit maintenance, shouldn't I be upping my calories to about 1,500 a day or so (if I'm exercising). My question is how do you get all those calories into your sleeve during one day. If it only holds 4-6 ounces at a time. I just got approved and trying to figure out how this works once you get to maintenance. I want to eat fruits and vegetables and they are bulky. thanks, Mary
