Topic: WLS magazines?
Hello everyone. I am 6 months post op as of August 9th. I have lost 77 pounds and I feel GREAT. I have had no complications (knock on wood) so far and all of my labs came back good. I am hoping that someone can help me out. I am interested in subscribing to a magazine for people who have had weight loss surgery. I know somewhere I saw it advertised but I can't remember where. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.Thanks, I hope everyone continues doing well with their weight loss. I love reading the messages from everyone. Angie

Topic: RE: Six Month Check-up!
Congrats Deb - I live in Utah and need exercise in the winter also. I don't mind walking outside in the winter but have joined a gym to get me through. I am using a tread mill and an exercise ball at home. The exercise ball has helped me to have a waist again. Walmart ($17). I sit on it about 15 minutes a day while I am on the computer. Seems to be working. Cardio and fat burning is something else. I also had my 6 month check up. I am ow on B12 shots but all else is within the norm. I have to have lipids and cholesteral drawn on Friday. I will let you know how it comes out. Good luck. Sarah

Hi Tavia (cool name),
Welcome to the board. I have found so much experience, strength and hope on this board that it helps me get through the day. I am so sorry that you had such a horrible experience - boy am I lucky. Your husband sounds committed to you and supportive. You have had terrific weight loss. Keep up the good work and keep us posted on how you are.

Topic: RE: Can anyone help???
I had the same as Pam - the doctor had me take an antacid and a benzodiazapene (zanax) due to a spasm in my stomach. I have had it a couple times since the surgery. Please call your doctor. Keep us posted. Hugs, Sarah
Topic: RE: Hey! Have you seen my hair anywhere?
I went to the hair dresser at 4 months due to losing my hair. He gave me special shampoo and creme rinse for folks who lose their hair during cancer tx (can't remember the name either). I'm at work. I also take a vitamin called Hair Care From Within sold by Avon which seems to help. I am like Dorthe and cut my hair off. It was down to my waist and now is to my shoulders. I have also let it go grey. Good news though. My hair has stopped falling out and my surger was 02/17. I'm not sure if it is the vitamin, shampoo or if it has run its course. Whatever, it is done for now. Good Luck - Oh and it is coming back in now on the top.

Congratulations - You have lost a lot of weight. I am staying at 192 and can't budge (3 weeks now). I have increased the protien and water and exercise so should see something soon. Great for you Steph.
