    Bariatricpal scared me shitless

    I certainly worried myself sick about complications, but bravely went ahead! I'm 6 weeks out and doing great! Couldn't be happier! You can do this!

    Swimming post-op

    I was allowed to get back in the pool at 2 weeks. No drain for me either. I had no problems.

    Hair loss

    I am only 2 weeks post op so I haven't experienced this yet. But was told to expect it. I was told the hair loss is due to the fact that we are basically on a starvation diet. It is our bodies response to slow the growth of hair to conserve energy.

    Before and During Pics!

    Great idea to document with photos! You're doing great. I've also heard we should measure.

    Scar healing

    Hopefully it is just scar tissue! Thanks for the input.
  7. I had surgery on the 15th also. I gained 8 lbs. when I got out of surgery. That finally came off and yesterday morning I got up and had lost 6 lbs. overnight! I am down 2 more lbs this morning. Be patient! It's gonna happen for you soon. I have heard from my local support group it takes a couple of weeks to kick in, and then it takes off!
  8. Hi. I had surgery 7/15/14. Doing great. But I have a question, I have a round lump under and around the 3 inch incision site. I'm afraid it could be a hernia. Anyone else experiencing this?

    exercise

    I know my doctors recommend 30 minutes of exercise 4-5 days a week. And you should be able to carry on a conversation while exercising, don't get winded. They say if you over exercise it can slow your weight loss.
