Hi everyone!! I had my vsg on sept 24th 2014 and I've had a total loss to date of 106 lbs! And I'm experiencing what I feel is extreme hairloss !! I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing ! Taking in all my protein and I just did a vitamin check and everything is fine and normal! I don't know what to do at this point and does it really grow back or am I just going to keep loosing more and more of my hair? Any advice given is a gift and thank you for your time ????

I'm 7 weeks out and this is my fourth period !! This is the second month I've had two periods each month! I'll get a week break but then it's back ! Any advise given is greatly appreciated! Thank you

OMG thank you lady's sooooo much! I don't feel alone in this!! LOL!! This experience just keeps getting better and better ???? lol!!!!

I had my first food melt down today i was sleeved on 9-24-14 and my husband eats out all the time it didn't bother me till today ! I cried a little and I don't know how to react !! I feel hungry but I'm scared to try new things I just stick to my protein pudding, jello, and soup /mushy foods . I just panicked today with my reaction and I don't know what to make of it ????

I completely agree!! I'm 7 weeks out and I feel AMAZING! The first 4 weeks suck but just push through and you will be able to taste what you have been craving and it won't be what you thought it would be!! Lol I'm able to have whatever I want but with one taste im good and move on to my fruits and veggis and foods with nutrition and REAL flavor! Lol I'm down from s/w-380 to 340 !!

Thank you every one! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in this battle!! Lol and yes these food demons need to be tamed they are wild !!! ???? I'm starting to explore more things the other day I had A very small bowl of Cheerios with milk and i did really well the cold milk felt AMAZING! And today I got daring and tried some of my mothers ground beef with cooked veggies I did really well with that as well , slowly but surely I'm learning what my new stomach can take ☺️

Lol!!! ???? omg i so would too if I smelled it !! I cried over a doughnut yesterday that's one thing I banned from my house because I'm a recovering doughnut addict AND my mother still brought some well after my melt down they went away really quick and an apology was soon after! Lol I to did not realize how much I loved food till after 10 days post op !

Thank you every one!! I really felt alone on this one . I really appreciate the support and your story's! ☺️ I got past it by watching a movie and going to sleep early! Lol (like 7:30) ???? I talked to my husband as well to let him know how hard it is for me and he said he won't bring it in the house anymore ,we'll see how long that last lol again thank you for taking the time to reply to my post it really made me feel much better!

I had an amazing experience as well!! I was expecting the absolute worst because of reading into it to much! I'm glad I did because now I'm appreciative of MY experience. I had the sleeve with duodenal switch on 9/24 and the only little pain I had was gas pain but once I got up to walk it started to go away , I did so well I was discharged from the hospital exactly 24 hours after surgery! And as of today I've lost 22 lbs!! It's nice to hear u had an amazing experience

Hi my name is Esther I was sleeved 6 days ago!! And I'm doing GREAT! I was really scared of pretty much the whole process but I just kept praying and going through the process step by step as my doctor instructed me and now I'm here !!! I was sooo relived and surprised as to how easy everything has been !!! From the moment I woke from surgery to now I haven't felt ANY pain besides the gas pain, I was supposed to stay at least two nights but I was doing all my walking and improving so well I was given the option to go home early! So 24 hours after surgery I was let home!! super excited all went well! And I feel amazing! If you have fears or worries don't! You will do FINE! It's SOO worth it! ????☺️

I'm just in awe of how much easier this is compared to when I was reading about it and questioning it!!!lol Just do as your told and everything will be perfectly fine! I'm already down 23 lbs and I feel really good! I found heaven today at target "sugar free kool aid"!!! Lol and thank you ????☺️
