Weight Loss Surgery Directory

If you could trade one thing back in after surgery, what would it be?

I'm not complaining, but there is indeed one thing that I think I would like to give back since the surgery... It's the way too regular times of the month!!!  Wowsers.  I've complained about this before on here, but really this is so ridiculous.  I asked my doctor to put me on the 3-month pill so I wouldn't have to suffer every month.  That was three months ago, and every three weeks the stupid things comes back again!  And not just for a couple of days, but up to three weeks each time!

Argh!  That's my only gripe.  All the rest of it has been so worth it, but this really sucks.  I do want one last shot at trying to have kids, so the alternative is just not an option at the moment.  However, they weren't kidding when they said you're quite fertile when you lose weight.

Blah! Whine, whine, whine. 

Maybe my younger-looking face back...now there is deeper wrinkles, loose skin under my chin/eyes, and sunken-in temples. Whine, whine, whine. 

I want my boobs back. Now I have what appears to be two tennis balls in tube socks for boobs. :(

  

        

        

Lol, ditto!

THAT is funny!  I'm new at this (9 weeks) but I've already decided to change my bra size to a 38 LONG!

Honestly, not a thing. Every change I've had has been for the better. Even my hair has come back in looking healthier than before!

I'm so glad your hair has come back better Dee! I just got mine cut short because it is getting so thin right now. Can't wait for the hair loss to stop! 

  I believe in me...the best is yet to be!                        
Don't worry. It will! I wore my wigs while in transition. I'm finally now starting to wear my own hair out. Yay!

Being freezing cold all the time

        
                         

    

    

If I could trade one thing back it would be the reactive hypoglycemia. It is however, better than the obesity by FAR. (I did stop having periods before surgery so I don't have to deal with that!)

I fixed the lack of boobs which bothered me quite a bit. I'm also always freezing cold but I'm managing. 

Now sometimes I wish I could wake up in the morning and drink a hot cup of coffee with a tea biscuit at the same time. I miss that.

Definitely would like to give back the constant freezing.  I see so many whose body temperature eventually regulates, I wish.  I've never been one that was hot natured though so maybe that's why I stay cold.

When was your surgery? After about a year my cycle got back to normal. Hang in there.

Nothing I would change. Life is grand!!

July was when I had my surgery, so it looks like I'll have to suffer a few more months of irregular times of the month.  Oh well, small price to pay as I see myself literally shrink before my eyes.

Life is awesome!

only thing i hate is my ****yx/tailbone pain since i have no butt-padding.. but its more than a fair tradeoff lol

Hahahahaha....I have no butt either...but that was before and now.

    

That tailbone pain is bad.  I've reconciled myself to that forever.devil
