Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. I had Gastric Sleeve surgery July 23, 2018. Starting weight 238....current weight 171.6.

Surgery recovery was very easy for me. Hardest part I think is changing the way I think about food and bad eating habits. Everyday I have to work on that mentally to change the way I think about food

Only negative from the surgery I would say is the Hair loss. Still with that I have no regrets and am very happy with the results this far and the direction I'm headed.

Does anyone have a lot of hair loss after surgery?

Hi !!!

If you use the search tool you will find a lot of threads about Hair loss on the site. Youll be able to read years and years of stories. The easiest way to search is by topic. Hope that helps!

It will depend on the platform. Mobile, app (Android iOS) web browser are all different and where you edit is all different. Which are you using?

If you are using the app it will be under account- profile tab, if you are using a web browser life safari it will be the three lines at the top that will open the menu -account-profile

If that doesn't work, you may need to sit down at a computer.

Hope that helps!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
