Having to put safety pins between the buttons of my dress shirt. So annoying...

Maybe it was skipping your protien. Remember every little bit counts!

If you are feeling to bad, you should call in sick. Good luck sweetie!

Hi! I have not been sleeved yet, but I have lost a lot of weight before to the point that my hair was falling out. At that time, I took the theraputic dose lf Biotin (from GNC) and that helped A LOT. My surgery is on Feb. 11 and I already started taking it. Also, I read on here that Visical was very good. Also, hairloss is also triggered by stress. The more you stress, the more hair will fall out. Try not to think about it. For every thought of hairloss I have, I tell myself "I declare my hair will remain healthy as my body becomes healthy" Hope this helps!

-Dreading the thought of a swimsuit -Being the "fat one" -Not being able to buy at the cool stores -not being able to use heels -being "chubby but cute"

Is the Viviscal chewable? I still havent had surgery, but I want to prevent hairloss. Should I start taking it? Surgery is next week...

Good luck! Best wishes

Awesome!!! Looking FAB

Hi all! I am scheduled for surgery on Feb. 5. I am having the surgery here in my native DR. Even though we are a 3rd world country, I am having my procedure done with the best of the best, and am totally confident in my doctor. I think this is the kind of procedure that you dont look for deals with. The only thing that kind of scares me is the drainage tube they leave in after surgery. YIKES. I hope to be of support to all of you!

Glad you are leak free!

You will loose from your calves. No doubt. Just be patient!

Hi Frye. Glad to hear you are ok. 82 lbs. is a lot and I am not surprised that it would take a toll on you. It broke my heart that you were feeling dumb in the ER, and no doctor should make you feel that way. That is their job and they are doing you no favors. So if you are ever in a similar position again ( and I really hope you wont) remember that doctors have to CARE for you. Warm wishes for you!

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Guess I win furthest traveled

Thanks for sharing! You look AWESOME

Hi! I added you tonight. Im Loremi from the Santo Domingo, DR. I am not nervous at all. Just a bit worried about the drainage tube they leave in for a couple of days :/

I am very confident in him. I also have a few friends that have gotten sleeved by him and all have positive feedback. How has your expirience with your sleeve been?

Well, any questions you have just let me know. There is another doctor that was recommended to me. His mame is Dr. Betances and he is just as good. I did A LOT of research on both, and even consulted with both doctors.

Hi ljperez! Congratulations on 22yrs of marriage! I am from Santo Domingo as well. Im having the procedure done at Abel Gonzalez. I am very excited. I just keep thinking about the moment AFTER the tube is removed. I also LOVE Samana. I try to go to las terrenas every year. Thanks so much for the support!

Get the negative out of your head! You will do GREAT. Its a new start for you! Embrace it

Im on a need-to-know basis. Immediate family, close friends. I think eventually everyone will ask you how you lost the weight...

Hi Jason, Fear not! It sounds like you have an active social life. That means you have friends. They will most likely be in support of you getting healthy. You will learn to handle these situations... What works, what doesnt. I think that many of us (myself included) have placed such importance on food in social gatherings. Its about being SOCIAL. You would be the odd duck if you sat with your friends and said nothing during an entire night. I think as long as you hold a glass of something (water), and you are your regular self, you will do great. So go to MX, party it up and have fun!

From a 24 to a 16?! That is AMAZING. slow and steady wins the race! Good luck!
