Ten+ weeks out, and for the most part everything is going great! One weird sensation, though... I frequently feel like I have a hair, or several hairs stuck on my tongue. Mostly this is on the back on my tongue, but sometimes the feeling is on the side as well. But when I reach for the offending hair, I never find anything. It's phantom fuzz! I've tried brushing my tongue extra hard with my toothbrush, but nothing changes. It causes me to drink a lot of Fluid, so I guess that's one good aspect of it. But it's still pretty annoying. Has anyone else had this experience?

Do you have white Patches in your mouth? If so it may be thrush. I hope you get it figured out. I hate it when a wild hair gets in my mouth. Gross

When I was drinking Isopure I felt I had fuzz/hair in my mouth and tongue. First day I changed that and don't feel it anymore. Yours could be many things - might be a good idea to get your doctor to check it for you at next visit.

Thanks everyone! Jen, I think you may have nailed it. This morning I was telling a friend that it seems to begin when I drink my Protein shake in the morning, and it lasts all day. My shake box has a plastic film covering the opening. I used to think that a small piece of the film had come loose and gotten stuck in the back of my mouth. But since it has occurred pretty much every day since I started drinking the stuff, it must be a reaction of some sort. Don't know what I'm going to do, though, because this is the one brand I really like and I drink it every morning for Breakfast. 30 grams of Protein, Baby!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
