Holy Hair Loss Batman!!
mmelissab replied to Mandybb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
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... -
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 ?
mmelissab replied to Natí Beesh's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
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!

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

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
