You look fabulous! -
Sadly, nobody knows ahead of time if thwy will dump. I'm 7 months post op and can eat any amount of sweets with no problem. Thats a problem!

I agree, most of us have struggled when deciding which surgery to have. I dont think you can go wrong with either the sleeve or bypass. Whatever you surgery u decide on, make it work for YOU! Good luck and God bless!

Has anyone had the surgery alone?
patticake1448 replied to kathyhall's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have any close family (and no family on the island). Being in the hospital alone is no biggie because you are well-taken care of. Being home alone was a scary thought, but it was fine. I was even able to take care of my two kitties. Good luck and God Bless! -
No carbonation ever again?
patticake1448 replied to Loristi's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Im a former diet coke addict, and i remember my NUT telling us there was one lightly carbonated drink we could have. I couldnt remember what it was called so i emailed her. Her response.."get off the coke and try ICE!" Cracked me up...ICE ia lightly carbonated fruit drinks. Sams club carries them, and its a nice treat now and then. Still miss my diet coke 7 months post op:-( -
Yes, most of us feel like we are not losing enough, bur you are doing great!

How much time off work-office/desk job
patticake1448 replied to jodie1961's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took a week and a half off, but could have gone back in a week. I agree, it's better to ask for too much than too little. -
Congratulations! Now we have to make sure we stay here!
-
I agree, best to check with ur nut. That being said, i am 6 months out and was told 1200 caloriea per day. Sadly, i usually go over:-(

I'm six months post op, and i started losing hair three months ago. To me , it seems like a lot. Some people notice, some dont. I've been taking biotin since before my surgery and using nioxin products. Nothing seems to help, but maybe it would be worse if i didnt? Doc said it should stop soon. I hope so!

Congratulations! Sounds like ur doing great, enjoy!

Thanks so much for sharing ur story! Im only 6 months post op, but struggle with grazing as well. I was complaining about it to a friend, and she said "just stop it!" Easier said than done, but it made me laugh! Good luck!

Recovery Time - Band vs Bypass
patticake1448 replied to Kahuna's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hi kahuna! Im guessing ur from hawaii? If so, who is ur surgeon? I had rny done at castle six months ago. I originally wanted the lapband because rny seemed too drastic. Finally decided on rny and was off work for 10 days. Could have easily gone back in a week or less. Good luck! -
I miss my diet coke!
