I was sleeved on 2-13-13... Start Weight - 375 Surgery Date - 358 Today's Weight - 315 Total Weight lost 60lbs!!!

I read that it can take up to two years for your skin to fit to your new body... It's also important to keep hydrated, use vitamin E oil, exfoliating skin daily will help promote circulation to the skin which is said to help as well! Just give it some time!

I had my surgery at wise regional medical center in Decatur it was about 40 mins from my house but well worth the drive everyone in the office is great and the whole hospital staff was amazing! He has an office in Dallas, Decatur and Keller! I use the Keller office for all my appts now!

I am from the DFW area and I used Dr Scott Stowers he is amazing!!!! Mybariatricsolutions.com

I am 8 weeks post op as of Wednesday and I have noticed over the past week or so a few minutes after I eat I get pretty dizzy... Has anyone else experienced this??

About 2 week after I was sleeved I got an itchy rash all over my stomach & back... It was REALLY dry skin!!! I started using cetephil bar soap and lotion and it cleared up in about a week! Hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks to everyone for the input! I have some pain meds left from after surgery I will use those for now!

Hello everyone! I am 5 weeks post op and I threw my back out a few days ago, I have been to the chiropractor, taken Tylenol, Ice, used Bengay the whole nine yards.... Nothing seems to be helping! Does anyone know if I can ever take Advil or a type of anti inflammatory? I put a call in to my surgeon but I am awaiting a call back!! Thanks

They made me have one before I could leave the hospital! (Had to have a suppository to make it happen) but things have been good since then! I am 4 weeks out tomorrow!

I am a stomach sleeper as well... I asked my surgeon before surgery cause I knew it would be a struggle for me... He said I could do it as soon as I would like but that it would probably not feel good right away! He was right I tried it on day 3 and it wasn't happening but by day 6 I was good to go! Good Luck

My Dr told me to wait until I was 1 week out! And wait until soft foods to take the calcium chews!
