I was sleeved 12/11/15. I had a rough time for the first few months with my breakup with food lol. It's been 5 1/2 months and I've only lost 50 lbs. I had a very bad wreck in 2006 and have health issues which limit my exercise abilities. On the upside I don't have alot of loose skin from rapid weight loss. It's still a learning process. Good luck to you all on your journey!

THAT'S A GREAT WEIGHTLESS csvanier. I'm losing at a rate of less than 10 lbs a month, so you're doing great! I had my surgery on 10/5/15 and have only lost 61. Can't let it get me down though I have to keep working at it. Keep doing what you're doing.

6 month check up
I went for my check up and the Dr says everything is good. I have officially lost 53.4 lbs. My weight at the hospital before surgery was 247.6 and my weight today was 194.2. At 5'10" that's pretty good. I feel so much better and I can get around much better. I'll update a pic when I reach 190. Wish me luck! Good luck to all of you! This is a tough journey but well worth it.

Hair Loss
To anyone preparing for bariatric surgery and concerned about hair loss. I wish someone would have given me this advise. Get Biotin 10,000 mcg softgels and start taking them as early as possible. After 5 months of losing handfuls of hair every day the pharmacist told me to use this. Good luck to all!
