You look great!!!! Congrats!!!!! (Love your adult big wheel )

Thank you everyone for the compliments!!!!! You all are amazing!!!!!

Hi sleeve sister! I'm experiencing the same thing. I just got my hair trimmed up last week so it won't look so noticeable. From what I have read and been told, there is nothing really we can do to stop the hair loss but it should only go on for a few months. Try not to use freeze hair spray or pull your hair back. I found that it comes out faster when I do that. I take Biotin (I think it's 5 mg) it won't stop the hair from coming out, but it helps with regrowth and I also started drinking a Protein drink every day to get 40 more grams and it seems to help some. Best of luck to you!!!! - Tiffany

I haven't heard of that brand! I will definitely keep a look out! Thank you!!! Have you tried Yoplait's greek yogurt, in particular the honey vanilla. That is the only brand that I have found doesn't give me an after taste.

Thank you everyone!!!! You all are just amazing and words can't express how much each and every one of you means to me!!!! I couldn't have gone this far without your words of encouragement and help!!!! Thank you with love!!!!!! - Tiffany

Congrats and welcome to the other side!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!! Awesome Job!!!!

Sap Soon, I used Dr. Nirmal Jayaseelan at Medical City. I highly recommend him. He answered all of my questions prior to surgery. Calmed my nerves right before surgery and now post-op I have my follow up visits with his nurse, but if he sees me in the hall or waiting to be seen by his nurse, he always asks how I'm doing. Overall a great experience.

Congrats on your new sleeve and WOW 6 days out and your doctor allows you to take pills? My doc wouldn't let me take a pill until I was at least 6 weeks out. I too had a hard time with multi-vitamins! I tried chewable wafers, liquids and powders and they all pretty much made me gag. But I did find a chewable that works great for me and it's Flinstones Complete (I take 2 with no problems). Good luck Bryn!!!!!

Need your opinion!!!! I'm now 4 months out and starting to have hair loss!!!! I will say shedding sucks, but I've lost a total of 82 lbs and have absolutely no regrets!! So for those of you who have experienced some hair loss, have you colored your hair??? And if so, did you find yourself losing more hair afterwards?? Also, how long did you have hair loss? I have a hair appointment on Wednesday morning and I am debating on having my hair colored too. Thanks for all your help!!!! Tiffany

Congrats... Congrats... Congrats on the weight loss and the Adult Big Wheel Fern!!!!!!! The bike looks like it would be alot of fun!!!!! Can't wait to see pics!!!

Call your doctor and let him/her know so they can prescribe you some nausea medicine, but I agree with Tiffany you could be experiencing a lactose intolerance. Hope you get better soon!

Congrats!!!! You look amazing!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!! So happy for you!!!!!!

So this morning I got on the scale and I'm 199!!!!! yay!!!!! I have thus far lost 79lbs on this incredible journey and wouldn't change a thing. I've gone from a size 22 to a comfortable 16 and couldn't be happier!!!! I'm gonna try to post some pictures tonight of my progress!!!! I am sooo loving my sleeve!!!! Cheers - Tiffany

you look absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I had the same problem early on. I tried several different multi-vitamins, even a liquid that was highly recommended and they all pretty much made me gag. The only one that tastes good to me and I've had absolutely no problem with is the Flinstone Complete (Chewable).

I had my gyno come in and tie my tubes right after i was sleeved.... no prob!

I'm sorry, but I am no longer emailing out the booklet.

You look amazing!!! Congrats!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that your doctor is being that way. I use to have a doctor like that and it's hard to change doctors but you need to do what is right for you. You need a doctor that is supportive and encouraging, not one that holds you back. I agree with Margaret, see your surgeon and ask his opinion. There are a lot of doctors out there that will not only back-up your decision, but will be there for you through your journey ahead. Good luck sweetheart!!

I weighed 258 on the day of my surgery, I'm 10 weeks out and have lost 43 lbs! woot!

Congrats and welcome to the losers bench!!! When I was in the hospital the nurses let me gargle Water until I was able to swallow. Good luck!!!!!
