I started to experience hair loss at 3 months and I’m now at 4 months Post op. My Nut said it could last 6-8 month but then it will stop falling out. When I brush my hair lost come out each time. It’s kind of nerve racking. In addition I wasn’t getting my 60grams of protein in. So now I’m making sure I’m getting it in and taking biotin. Hopefully it will help.

You’re not supposed to have any carbonated drinks ever again!! It will expand your pouch. Not worth the risk. HW-248 CW-226 GW-140 Sleeved 1/25/18

Drink drink drink and walk. It will start to feel better after 4-5 days. I remember the misery... HW-248 CW-226 GW-140 Sleeved 1/25/18

I had mine done at Westchester Medical Center Ny. -
Hum I wouldn’t say any of the cons would have stopped me from having surgery. I would do it all over again. Here are some cons I have experienced. I’m 17 days post op. 1- I hate eating. Takes forever to eat and if you don’t eat slow and chew good, it hurts going down. 2- getting all the water in is a challenge and stressful for me. 3-No foods appeal to me anymore ( I guess that could be a good thing). 4- I hate taking vitamins. I liked them before the surgery now I hate how they taste. Those are my cons so far but all of these complaints will get better with time. No regrets!

Time off work and telling co-workers?

I took one week off and went back. I work in a small office so I had no problem telling my co workers and my boss all of whom have been very supportive. -
Hi all. 17 days post op here and I seem to have pain on the left side. Mostly when I’m laying down and try to roll over. I feel excruciating pain for about 10 long seconds. Anyone experience this? Does it go away?
-
I have no interest in food. Everything I eat I feel like it’s gross and never want it again. I feel like if I never eat again, I’ll be ok with that. Does this feeling go away? Im 2 weeks post op.

Thanks good to know. I was thinking my stomach wasn’t cut small enough. I stress over everything...

Hi. I am 2 weeks post op and started on soft proteins I have 1 shake split up into 2 meals one for breakfast and one for lunch. Then tonight I had a 4oz piece of haddock and I was able to eat the entire 4oz. Shouldn’t I have gotten full before I finished all 4oz?

It should start to clear out. You’ll feel so much better in a few days.

It’s frustrating... I know it will pass but it’s a waste of time where I could be losing.
