With all of the excellent food choices that surround us, weight gain is a common occurrence. However, gaining weight after a plastic surgery procedure is a significant issue and has an extra set of consequences. Postoperative weight gain can occur for many reasons, including changes in hormonal levels and the stress of recovery. Let’s explore ...
Morning All! Happy HUMP DAY 🙂 Nothing new here. My PCR test came back negative, so I am just plain-old sick, as usual. You'd think my body would have figured out super-immunity by now, since I have worked in schools since 1993, but so be it... I am doomed to…
Queen JBMorning Gang! I shuffled through work yesterday still feeling a little blah but I made it though. But last night I was as tired as I have ever been, so by 7pm I called it, and just went up to bed. I had a few starts and stops but I…

Tell me it eventually STOPS.... I've lost two-thirds of my hair - thankfully I had a lot of hair to begin with but still losing - and am devastated .... My braid (one braid) is literally smaller than what I used to make THREE braids with - particularly around my…
selkiemMorning Gang, Happy Monday! My weekend was kind of rough. I woke up Saturday with a sinus infection, earache, and sore throat. I tested twice this weekend with rapid COVID tests at home and I am negative, thankfully, but I just felt crappy the whole time. I have another PCR…

This forum used to be really active. 2011 wen I had my RNY I was so thankful for this forum. I met my best friend who was a year out from me. Could not have done this without her. While I realize we most deal with FB groups. It is…

Queen JBGoooooood Morning! It's another snowy morning here. I am so over this winter already... it's been grey and snowy and freezing every day for months but just enough to be annoying and not enough to get a snow day 🙁 QOTD: Do you take your car in for regular maintenance?…

Hello OH family. Thank you so much for the kind words on my last post. It's been so mentally and physically difficult to maintain sanity lately.. but can't lose sight of those silver linings. This morning I got good and not-so-good news. I'll start with the not: I got my…

Today I celebrate the 5 year anniversary of having had surgery with Dr. Capella to remove excess skin that occurred after weight loss. (260 lb at my highest down to 169 lb.) I am at a good place in my life. I am grateful. But it was not easy. As…

For years I have always said that I'd never want to have weight loss surgery. I always said that if I couldn't lose the weight on my own then I'd just die as a plus sized woman. That all changed when I began having unexplained headaches since December 5, 2020.…

Desperately looking for answers…. Has anyone had complications after undergoing endoscopic suturing??? My endoscopic procedure was 9/16/2020 and I’ve been extremely sick since…. Not sure if it’s another health condition or if a complication from the surgery. I have been to numerous doctors, specialists, hospitals, and had several tests conducted……

Started the puréed/soft food phase. The post op/full liquids part was fairly easy. I’m not big on breakfast so my go-to is decaf coffee mixed with a protein shake. Not much pain from the surgery. All my incision sites are healed. I had a couple episodes of nausea in the…

I'm seriously considering a lapband revision to gastric sleeve, and I've been looking into having the procedure done in Mexico, just across the border from California. I looked into doing it here, but the out of pocket cost is astronomically high for me, running into roughly $15k, whereas in Tijuana…

I had second thoughts about writing today.. but I better do it so that I can remind myself how it is to pull myself out of a gigantic fucking-funk. I gained about 7 pounds (got up to 177#) and finally got around to losing it again. Man.. that was hard.…

As a nurse practitioner, I was highly impressed by Dr. Yadegar and his staff as well as the hospital staff before during and after my surgical procedure. One of the things I love the most is he takes the necessary time to educate the patient to ensure the best success…
Dr Yadegar and his staff are just amazing! I had surgery to lose weight (RNY) 10 years ago (and have kept it off) and I look forward to seeing him and his staff every year at my annual appointment! I have also had Dr Yadegar for 2 additional surgeries, and…
Great surgeon and amazing staff. 100% recommend.
Dr. Yadegar is amazing and so is his team. Very thoughtful and thorough, he explained everything and spent so much time addressing my concerns. His team has provided so much education and information, and I am truly blessed to be in their care! Thank you for being a part of…
In the past, I have attempted to get help from other Registered Dieticians to no avail. They were unable to break things down in a way that made sense to me and I ended up frustrated, feeling stupid, and that I would never understand how to be sure I was…
