The only con that I have had is constipation even after eating my fruits and vegies and I have to take some a couple of times a week. I am 9 months post op but I have no regrets. Only wish I did it sooner. Sent from my SM-G900I using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor suggested eating a pear once a day as it has the best natural fibre. I thought whatever but it has made a huge difference. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

If I have not opened my boweks for two days this what I take at 3pm in the afternoon to pass a soft stool about 8am the next morning. It is what my doctor recommended. Tgey are gentle on your stomach. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

I could write a book in how badly I was treated while overweight. People post things on Facebook shaming overweight people all the time. I no longer scroll through my newsfeed, limit the amount of time on Facebook and only check out people's profiles that I am close to. I have found this the best way to deal with the nasty things I see on Facebook about overweight people. People show their true colours on this journey. I look at them as being uneducated. My family liked it when I was overweight as they had control over me. My family no longer speaks to me and it really hurts. Chin up honey. You have put the work in. Any gutless person can write a message like that but it takes effect to do what you have done. BE PROUD! Sent from my SM-G900I using BariatricPal mobile app

Thankyou smg. I never knew you could get powders to help dry it out. I have been using a hair dryer which is not working. I will go to the chemist in the morning and get some powder. Thank you very much. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone else had skin infections with their loose skin? I started antibodics two days ago. Any advise please. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

I am 4 months post op. I lost 18kgs over the 6 months before the sleeve and have lost a total of 45kgs. I was going swimming and was very carefull to make sure the skin under my stomach, arms and backside was dry. All of a sudden I got sore on the inside of the top of my leg. I went to my gp who has put me on strong antibodics as it is infected. I have been using a rolled up facewasher where the infection is to catch the leakage and also using a hair dryer but it is extremely painfull to even walk. I am amazed at how quickly this happened. Looking in the mirror I could not even see the sore until it was painfull. I have only been on antibodics for two days. Has anyone else had problems like this? Please tell me it gets better.

I have been in this situation with 4 different women before. The only way I could sort it out was being blunt to their face when no one else was away. It was 2 work mates and 2 sister in laws. Trust me they are not so smart when they are spoken to firmly on their own. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App
