    Incision Pain

    I'm over 3 weeks out and my largest incision still hurts when i move a certain way. I think it's getting worse. The pain is sort of spreading to my belly button. Sneezing is horrible. I've called my surgeons office twice and they said it was part of the healing but I'm concerned because it's not improving and sometimes it seems worse...

    Day 2 post op

    That's normal i was the same. They used gas to blow up your belly so they could see, or sux for like 3-4 days. Walking helps. It must stopped hurting to swallow my pills like yesterday, I'm almost 3 weeks out. I ended up in the hospital am extra day because i was retching when i tried to swallow anything. It sucked. It gets better. I hope sooner than later for you Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App *it, just Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

    "Sugar Free"

    The problem i have with sugar free is that artificial sugar makes you crave real sugar, also your body can't digest artificial sugar and i read a study that said substituting artificial sugar for regular sugar doesn't have any impact on ppl w. DM. I have been getting no sugar added or reduced sugar stuff and I'm happy with it Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

  13. You are putting you're life in there hands. If you are not 100% confident in the team or the process you absolutely need to go elsewhere. Surgery is a small part, you need structure and support, this seems to be lacking at your current clinic. This isn't a quick day surgery, this is a complete lifestyle change. You have every right to be fully informed and mentally prepared for this. It doesn't sound as if these people are concerned with anything but getting you in and getting your $$. Please do research and consider going elsewhere. Good luck to you! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

    My hair!

    I think it's because of the decrease in nutrients. We're essentially starving ourselves. I'm terrified about losing my hair. I love my hair! I've been taking Biotin from day one hoping it'll help. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
