Doubtful phase - Need some advice

Normal nerves! If you could have done it, you would have already. Just do an internet search of diet success rates. My single regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. Ultimately, it’s up to you. I’d choose this again 1000x over. -

Balloon versus lapband versus ??
sammy246 replied to dengle's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Personally, I would not choose either. Too many complications with both. If you have that much to lose, I would consider sleeve or bypass! -

Hormones. I’m the same, PCOS and post surgery my cheeks are always flushed. Just wait until you’re further post-op and the libido kicks in HIGH gear. I have a “glow” all day. Pink cheeks. It’s almost embarrassing. LOL. And it does not matter if the rest of me is freezing either!

I slept on my stomach the first night in the hospital. Freaked my nurse out!

Melissa's story on my 600lb life is the reason I got surgery as well. My HW was only 290, but I could see myself in her story and never wanted to get there. It shows the real struggle, including the addiction and failure of the surgery. Sometimes I get SO angry at the people on the show until I put myself in their shoes and realize how hard it is to make the best choices (even after surgery.) whether you're 200lbs or 600, it's still a rotten, horrible feeling to be overweight and have a food addiction. Props to them for being real and brave enough to go on TV. -
When did everyone begin increasing their calories?

Almost 3 months post-op and hover around 600-700 per day. I don't want to stall out or ruin my metabolism going too low for too long! -
3 months post op and gained 3lbs
sammy246 replied to auttie101's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would be concerned if you gained 3lbs above your surgery day weight, but not if you have been losing and just fluctuated up a bit.! -
I just might give up caffeine for good
sammy246 replied to hmills653's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 2 months post op and only have a cup occasionally. I was tired of spending the money and having the addiction to caffeine. I enjoy a cup here or there but no frequent or daily use. And wow! It actually works when I do drink it. -

The nurse walked in and literally said "I don't think you can do that." She actually went and talked with the surgeon and then came back and said it wouldn't hurt anything and was fine if that's how I was comfortable. It was pretty funny.

Flushing in face and neck 4 days post op

Agreed you should call doc. It might be hormone related as well but better to be safe. -
Advice re Gastric Balloon vs. LapBand Surgery
sammy246 replied to rosedagal's topic in Gastric Balloon Forum
I literally would not pick either. It's like asking what complication I want more. Sorry to be blunt, but that is my opinion. -
Missing 1 Year of 3 Year Weight History

My insurance said they required 5 years, and then approved me without proof of a single one. Don't stress, these Bariatric centers are very skilled at getting approvals! -
