Looking for hair loss recommendations
browneyez42 replied to Samantha1324's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Good evening. I guess I'm abnormal because I'm seven months post op and haven't suffered any hair loss. I've heard Biotin is good so I'd suggest to start there. Good luck and see you on the loser's bench Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 195 GW: 165 -
Suddenly Terrified
browneyez42 replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
All of us have had some type of fears. Turn it around and think of all the positive things this surgery will bring to your life... feeling better, less meds, smaller clothes and overall better health. Im 6.5 months post op and was fearful of hair loss. Guess what? Not one strand of hair has been lost.

Tell me about your immediate post-op recovery!
browneyez42 replied to BelleOfBatonRouge's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I must be abnormal [emoji4] . I woke up from surgery in very little pain. Once I was transferred to my room, I changed clothes, put on lip gloss (wanted to be cute) and started walking. I walked every hour until it was time to sleep. Three days after I was discharged, I was walking around Macy's (my favorite store). I had gas pains which subsided when I walked. Im now six months post op and am so very happy. I'm doing great with my weight loss and my only regret is that I didn't have the surgery sooner.

4 days post op and already concerned

I filled two ounce cups and sipped one every 15 minutes and then I'd walk. It'll get easier...trust me Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 197 GW: 165 -

Yes, it's normal. Over time, you'll be able to drink more. What helped me was to drink a few sips every 15 minutes. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 199 GW: 165 -
I had my "last supper" because I'd convinced myself that it was the last time I'd have those things. Well I was right and wrong. In December, 2017, i gave up bread, rice, pasta and potatoes...it was hard because I really loved bread. Im almost six months post op and down 62 pounds. I've had some sweets, but can only have a few bites. Your new sleeve will not hold much. What you're experiencing is normal. Most of us have been there. Trust me, when you start to lose weight, you'll look at foods differently. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 199 GW: 165

I had something similar. It felt like something (I described it as a piece of flesh) hanging in my throat. The doctors checked and said nothing was there, but I felt it. Four months later, it's finally gone. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 205 GW: 165

Back to work/school - what did you tell people?
browneyez42 replied to AEdoesRnY's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I told my coworkers that I started seeing a nutritionist who is helping me to eat healthier. I eat smaller portions and I've started an exercise program. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 205 GW: 165 -

Maybe eat a little more than protein bars... hope you figure it out. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 205 GW: 165
