thanks for the great tips . obviously it's working for you! it definitely gives me some good ideas which I appreciate very much (= GSV surgery date 9/19/26

You'll be in good hands at Cedars. I was just there yesterday afternoon to see my endocrinologist, and have always had a positive experience. I had surgery in Mexico because my insurance wasn't going to cover any of the costs, but would have had it locally otherwise (though I had a terrific time in Mexico). I don't have any loose skin. Losing s l o w l y seemed to help the most in regards to my skin having time to adapt and minimizing hair loss. It's not as satisfying when you step on the scale and don't see the numbers changing as often, but it has its perks. I think your age, how long you've been at your current weight, and other factors contribute to whether you'll have loose skin, in addition to the rapidness of weight loss. One of my favorite places for low carb is Pampa's Grill in Culver City. We usually go after work and pick up dinner to have at home later. @@"Clementine sky" that's awesome that you don't really have loose skin. what's the secret to your success? are you working out?

I am also part of the 9/19 sleevers club~ the first few days I also felt like that mac truck hit me too. I just keep pushing through it, sipping my Water and Protein shakes. I've been able to walk in short durations each day and that helps with giving me more energy. I was advised by dr and hospital to crush/open capsules of pills and take that way. try that, it's helped me alot GSV surgery date 9/19/26
