Did anyone NOT lose their hair after surgery?
Seela replied to Anothercasey's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im not at the falling out stage yet but as a hair stylist I have seen a lot of wls patients. I have never met one that didn't have significant hair loss however I have only met a few where the regrowth wasn't fantastic and I think those were the people who didn't take very good care of themselves. I think it's really important to take all of your vitamins and supplements every day and eat according to your plan. Eat enough good fat and stay really hydrated. -
Silly Question, How many times do you wear pants before washing?
Seela replied to Bronco0605's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Tim but I always do a sniff test before I rewear pants -
Traveling away from home, what do I need?
Seela replied to Ree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Another thing I always have on hand are the individual packs of tuna. They're in a foil envelope so you can keep them in your purse -

Busy stomach all the time! Is this normal ?
Seela replied to Sleevenit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
11 weeks out and my stomach is hilariously and embarrassingly LOUD a lot of the time. All you can do is laugh about it. -

Seela replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
You ladies all look totally amazing! Have you all had plastics? I have lost 48.2lbs and had an event to go to the other night that I really wanted to wear a dress to. I haven't worn a dress in years. I tried on several and some of them looked really great except for the tummy area. Just couldn't do it. I wore black slacks and a pretty red top and I felt great but I was disappointed that I didn't feel comfortable enough to wear a dress. -

HELP.. I need advise to get back on track!
Seela replied to jenn298's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not so sure going back to a post op liquid diet is such a good idea that far out. Check in the vets forum for 5:2 diet. Even if you don't go that rout you will get lots of good advice and support from the vets. <3 -
The first few days they say sip sip sip. What a joke! It's more like barely dipped your upper lip into the water = sip. Gets better (for most of us) pretty quickly though

Great! How are you doing?

I agree and disagree with the above posters. I do recommend this surgery but only if you do your research and understand all the risks first. And I certainly feel more confident now that ive lost 48lbs. As for waiting until your older and fatter with more health problems? Um.. what? I wish I could turn back the clock and do this ten years ago BEFORE I got old, fatter and unhealthy. If you're informed, and you feel you've tried to loose weight unsuccessfully through other means then I say go for it. Barring any unforseen difficulties you are young and should bounce back easily. Hopefully this will set you up for a lifetime of good habits instead of a lifetime of yoyo dieting and unhealthy weight fluctuating. Best of luck to you
