Yeah last night it was hard to sleep because of the itching. It's all over, not at my incisions. I have no redness or swelling. The peeling was the weirdest part, it's fine now just itchy.

Just out of curiosity, how do I check on my surgeon?

Look up his state medical license online. It will tell you if he has had any insurance claims. His training and work history. -
Big drop in weight can increase risk for gall stiones
MandaPanda replied to BlessedBeyondMeasure2012's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I already had gallstones so insisted they take it out at the same time. He wasn't thrilled but did it anyways. I think it's because they can't bill for two separate surgeries, sad but true. -
I have a thyroid nodule. Not sure if that's the same thing. I just get an ultrasound every 6 months or so to keep an eye on it. Wasn't an issue for surgery.

Taco Bell Torture
MandaPanda replied to MandaPanda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't know. Fast food is an addiction for me so I am going to stay away from it all together. I am home now with my Jello and tomato soup. Feeling better now. -
Taco Bell Torture
MandaPanda replied to MandaPanda's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know. I was watching them eat it and trying to visualize all the calories and fat. My teenage son is naturally thin and can eat whatever he wants, it's crazy. -
Wow congrats!!! That is super awesome!!!! Pictures soon?? So am I right in understanding you lost 94 pounds in less than 5 months? Any tips to share with the newly sleeved? I am one week out. My highest weight is close to yours. How tall are you? So happy for you!!!
