Gotta say - you look great before too! I don't think people realize how hard it is to have style with so much less to choose from when u are bigger. What did you go back to hospital for? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My questions to the people reading this would be, after surgery were you in a lot of pain? - Yes, dear God. The pain was unbearable and so uncomfortable. It didn't wear off for about 3 weeks. I cried almost everyday. I literally and physically could not do anything! Did they weigh you in the pre-op area before surgery? - I have no idea. They gave me some happy calming pills before surgery. I can't remember much. What were you most surprised about after your surgery? I was surprised it hurt to laugh, cough and I could not twist / turn to wipe on the toilet. They leave that out in the books. What happened to you that you didn't expect after surgery? My period started the day after surgery which gave me more pain and cramping. I also got a uti and a kidney infection that didn't go away for over a month. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Well 3 pounds can come back off within a few days!! My husband is always forcing me to eat - is re-donk-culious!!! Not sure what he's scared of, I'm seriously 100 pounds from anything close to small. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I tried at 1 month, didn't work. 2 months, no luck!! Last week - almost 3 months I ate a bison salad from Ted, avacodos and tomatoes . I could only do a few bites Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I could not eat eggs! I was so shocked. I think I'll try again at 3 months. What is the best way for your pouch? Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Finally a updated picture!!! People are starting to say I look really thin, which is impossible cause I'm still over 200 pounds! I guess weight loss surgery doesn't apply to boobs. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I eat spinach a lot and it goes down well and does not make me sick. I sautee it in a pan with lil olive oil, garlic and can't believe it's not butter. I can almost eat it as a meal. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Oh no. I'm experiencing completely opposite. I've lost over 50 pounds and wearing the same bra- crazie!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I was on BCP and the day after my surgery my cycles started and pretty much refused to go away. Finally got NuvaRing and it's getting back to normal. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

The process depends on your insurance requirements as well as your doctor/Suregon. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I had to attends local group instead and have her sign off on papers. This is a great question. You may want to ask Alex of its possible to provide tangible proof of your participation. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Yeah. I'm almost 3 months and I'm starting to forget. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I have a hard time wearing a tanpon, but the Nuva ring fits like a charm. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Can someone with weight loss surgery successfully live with a unhealthy person / eater & smoker? I'm moving forward with wonderful new lifestyle changes, but my husband is not on board. I really see it to be impossible to both move forward in different directions. Ex: he drinks at least 6 cans of cokes a day, want to eat at a restaurant or fast food every chance he get and is a smoker. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I heard the arm implant was absorbed through stomach like the pill so it is not as effective. I'm trying Nuva ring first before the IUD. So far, Nuvaring is ok. Can't feel it and no Superbad side effects. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Great job john!! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hey, yes I've been diagnosed with both. The medication I was taking got stuck every single time! I'm almost 3 months out and so far I have not had any improvements. My back pain and migraies are really bad, but that could just be a part of the process. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
