    Holy Hair Loss Batman!!

    I'm 3 and a half months out and I'm losing handfuls of hair each day. It's so depressing! I watch it just get thinner and thinner every day and wonder when it will stop, or if I'm going to end up bald...
  2. So, I've never tried blogging before, but ive had complications from surgery and so I decided to give blogging a try as an outlet....so here it is https://wlsjourneysite.wordpress.com

    How fast can you return to work ?

    I got the rny not the sleeve on December 12th. I had planned to return to work January 3rd, but I got a pretty bad infection in one of the incision sites and just returned to work yesterday. My suggestion would be to hope for two weeks but plan for a month to six weeks if there are complications. I still have to pack the incision site twice daily! Good luck on your surgery!

    Does anyone regret surgery

    I had surgery 12/12/16 and im having some regrets. Mine are primarily because of the infection I got afterwards and am still dealing with. Also I've been stuck at same weight for a week now and it's bugging the crap outta me. Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

    Post-op Drain Tube

    I had my surgery dec 12th and im supposed to get mine out on jan 4th. Its been a huge pain in the rear! Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
  10. I had my surgery on the 12th (bypass, not sleeve), and yesterday when i went to change my dressing (the one that has to be packed), out flowed a river of pus and blood. Went to the ER and was told this was "normal" at this point past surgery, was called a seroma, and to expect it to continue to drain. Never had heard about this when researching the surgery, has anyone else had an issue with this? Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

  13. I started my liquid diet on the 26th and im having a really hard time dealing with hunger. Mostly head hunger, i think. Seeing my hubby chow down on a big burger is emotionally painful. Surgery scheduled for December 12th, and still waiting for insurance approval. Stress hitting hard. Juat having a tough night... Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App
