Hi, I didn't get my surgery yet, but i have some questions. Has any of you guys who have had the surgery experienced facial hot flashes after the surgery, if so, have they gone away, or lasted? This is really important to me, as Im getting really scared of the hot flashes that i've heard ppl experience Thank you.

I know this is an old post but Im writing to see if i can be of any help @@Denni In oriental medicine, the internal organs provides balance to the body. the stomach helps regulate body temperature. without the stomach internal heat rises to your head ( thats why ur face flushes red and hair falls out). Without ur stomach heat cannot descend to your feet, so usually ppl get super cold feet and hot face after sleeve. i'm getting really worried about this. You might wanna check out a traditional chinese medicine doctor. they can usually help with stuff like this.

Dont take my post too seriously.. But in oriental medicine they say that the internal organs gives balance. From what I know , without the stomach to control heat (stomach controls heat in the body), body heat rises to the top of the body, (which causes flushing and hair loss and ice cold feed). I'm getting really worried that this will happen to me too.

Try going to an acupuncturist or traditional chinese medicine doctor. Western medicine does little with falling hair, but Asian medicine does wonders to hair loss. I have surgery in December and I'm flying back to Korea in november to get some oriental herbal teas for the hair loss. the herbal tonics cost 500 dollars a month, but i think it will b worth it for less hair loss

maybe going to mexico is an option?

as you start using bariatricpal more often, you will start getting to know the users who almost always have a mean sarcastic attitude. just gotta realize that they are like that to almost everyone. don't take it personally. I had my fair share of those users. lol! haha

my doctor doesn't require a pre-op so I reserved a buffet dinner at a five star hotel the night before my surgery hahaha

@@Inner Surfer Girl thanks so much! yea. i guess i gotta really work on that. *no hair loss fingers crossed* haha

Hi, I was just wondering, but 2-3 days after the surgery how much Fluid can you usually drink? about How much of a Protein shake can you drink when you are allowed to drink it? I am just scared that I will become nutrient deficient after the surgery (because I don't wanna lose any of my hair!!) So I wanna make sure that I am able to drink at least an ample amount of Protein Shake after the surgery Please let me know how many cups of liquid/protein drinks you were able to drink following your surgery!! thanks for all the replies in advance!

@@Dairymary OH, and BTW, my band never slipped. Got an upper GI to confirm that. The drs at the ER thought it was odd that I had a lapband, but they understood cultural differences and my special circumstances with eating problems. If the nine US doctors that I saw at the ER were okay with me having a lapband, you should have NOTHING to say about that ? K?

@@Dairymary oh wow. You have already become an expert in my life biography. Seems like you know me better than how I know me. Its just kinda ironic that you have never even met me or even seen my face lol and btw, if you were truly concerned about my health, there was no need to talk in that nasty tone that you wrote your posts in in my last thread. I had read plenty of caring and sincere advice from people who were actually NICE! If you even wanted something to perhaps "click" with me, why don't you first try by being NICE? If you aren't gunna be NICE then GO AWAY. Life is already full of problems as it is in an imperfect world. Don't need another internet troll just blasting their own negativities at an innocent poster. I don't like you. I don't like how mean and nasty you are when you post on my threads. so GO AWAY. if you truly are concerned? LEAVE and hope that a nice poster will give me some good advice. Okay? THANKS

@@Dairymary you are not saying these things because you are sincerely concerned about my health at all. you just say those things because you are a bitter person who enjoys minding other ppl's businesses. I don't need any of your comments so do not reply on any of my posts. so much negative energy from you all the time lol I don't need or want ANY of your thoughts @@Dairymary so just go and mind your OWN business! THANKS

I recommend Dr. Shayani from synchrony chicago weight loss! Hes located in both bolingbrooke and oak brook. You will NOT regret visiting him. Seriously, hands down, the most caring, genuine, and sincere doctors that I ever met. When i told him that I couldn't afford some of the things, he was so understanding and tried to accommodate me as much as possible. ahh. Great doctor.

do you drink constantly throughout the day like as on a mission to get 50 grams in? @ragdollarchild or are you purposely trying to drink as little as possible? I'm just scared about hair loss so i wanna get in enough protein asap after the surgery. thanks!

For me in making my decision with this surgery I had to come to terms with myself with the fact that "you have to let some things go to gain what you want". Be sure you know what you want for yourself. You know yourself better than anyone; don't let anyone persuade you into getting this surgery. I am choosing this surgery for myself because I am focused and intent on what I want for myself and for my life.

darn people are mean here lol... I guess it wasn't just me that you were mean to. I almost took it personally on my post hahaha @lipsticklady

are you the person who made a youtube video about hair loss? I feel like i saw your video

I am no longer going to reply or post anymore things under this account. so don't expect a response if you wanna say anything else to try and provoke me.

i say I say one mean thing, and everyone is after me. I have been patient post after post after post, apologizing and telling ppl that if they didn't wanna read that they could move on. Those who are posting negative comments are the ones who need to grow up. are you guys trying to test me? how much you guys have to provoke me so that I'll actually get mad? Yes i am mad now. I am mad that people who don't leave advice at all say nasty things about my parents. yes it angers me. and yes when I get angry, I say mean things. so there you have it.

no. you can't have any of my money. stop being lazy and go out and make some for yourself. No wonder you gained all that weight. being lazy and begging others for their hard earned money LOL that my be the most outrageous statement you've made yet. Who's hard earned money?! Certainly not yours. You have a mommy and daddy paying for everything while you jet set around the world wasting your GRANDPARENTS hard earned money to indulge your surgical whims. BTW I've had a job since I was 14 years old and have never once taken a single penny of welfare, social security, or unemployment. I Worked three jobs to put myself through college. Raised 2 children, and put them through college (and one through medical school) by working 14+ hours/day. I paid for my OWN surgery with money I EARNED. I own my own house and well over a million dollars of equipment, land and livestock. I earned this by working for it....nothing was given to me for free. Have you ever even supported yourself for a day? I knew that ppl would get offended at my comment. but seriously did u read what the other person said as well? don't think that i'm the only one at fault. if you can't be nice, then don't expect to hear nice things from the other person as well.

Do you have a good therapist? Have you talked this through with a professional who works with people with eating disorders? to be honest i went through therapy couple years back but it did not help. I have not talked this through with a professional who specifically deals with eating disorders. but trust me, i did EVERYTHING that i could think of doing to try to solve my eating problem with no avail. Saying that the vsg is my choice of last resort is an understatement.

Okay folks, for those who know how. PLEASE tell me how i can delete this entire thread, if possible. I would love to do that. it was never my intention to create such a negative, controversial thread. and by the way please, don't discriminate against me just because i am "thin" I am the same as ya'll trying to get my crazy eating habits under some control. I'm sure a lot of you know what it feels like to have crazy eating patterns. it makes life suck.

again, my goal is not to lose weight from a vsg. I want to reduce the size of my stomach so that I can have more control over my portions. My endoscopy results from years back show that my stomach is much larger than the size of an average person's stomach. which is the reason why I am able to eat such large volumes of food. I am planning on gaining at least 30 pounds before my surgery because otherwise it would be extremely unhealthy for me to lose weight at my current weight right now. Reading other peoples posts losing 30 pounds seemed like nothing for the first few months...

I don't want to be underweight. my goal would be around 115, which is a healthy weight for my height.

"Wow, you might be the most misinformed, psychologically disturbed individual I have ever met in the WLS world. (Probably from drinking all that nasty organic milk). But unfortunately it Sounds like your mind is made up and you will learn the hard way just how wrong you are about VSG surgery curing your eating disorder. Too bad your unethical surgeon and your mother is enabling you. If she really cared she'd get you the help you really need. but still, As long shes throwing money away, can I have some? I'll even tell you all the warm fuzzy lies about bariatric surgery you want." no. you can't have any of my money. stop being lazy and go out and make some for yourself. stop being lazy and begging others for their hard earned money
