Hello everyone! Just wanted to throw in my updated info. Took me forever to get back on this site. I'm not a fan of the new layout etc. Anyways, I'm glad I made it back! Surgery was 8/14/13 HW 261 CW 173 TL 88 No more migraines, back aches, restless legs or depression. I have already done (2) 5Ks since Dec. mostly jogging/fast walking. I'm preparing for a 10k in April at The Cooper River Bridge Run in Charleston, SC. Life is good!!!!! LOVE MY SLEEVE

Well,apparently they cause Migraines in people who suffer with migraines. I took these pre & now taking them post. I have a long history of severe migraines (31 yrs now). Biotin has not caused any migraines for me. Never heard that about Biotin before now. -
6 weeks out and can only get in about 900 calories a day
SmilinNC replied to slthompson's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Im 6 wks out & never can come close to my calorie or protein goals. 500 is about my avg calorie & 50 is about my protein avg. :-/ -
I am having this same problem but not my belly button one. It is the incision on my right side (over my Liver area). I am 6 wks post-op & just now starting to close. I cleanse the area each morning in my shower. Pat dry, blow dry the area on cool setting, do my morning routine etc & then put small gauze/tape over it. No Neosporin. ( Neosporin keeps the hole moist & delays healing). Once home & settled I take off the gauze to air the wound. Just prior to bed I put new gauze/tape on to catch any drainage during the night. This is common to happen to some folks. Slow to heal. Healing from inside outward. Your pic looks great (I'm a nurse) & will eventually close. Just keep it clean & dry as much as possible.

I am a stomach sleeper. Couldn't sleep on my stomach until 4 wks post-op. It felt sooooooo good to get back on my stomach. Finally able to sleep all through the night now

Hi "family" :-) I am 5 weeks post-op today. Weight is slowly but steady coming off. Getting used to the "new way of life." I do NOT regret having the sleeve! My partner is my biggest supporter & my biggest fan. She rocks!!! -

I'm 3 was out & still have it
-
I can't wait either. It has really been stinging/pain this past week! Hoping it will pop SOON!!!
-
Just checking in. How was the wedding & those floors?
-
Sounds like surgery induced. Hormones & anesthesia. It will end soon.

Not sure what you are asking but I'm going to take a guess Do I take a psi or do I have reflux at 2 weeks out? No psi & no reflux.
