Take it easy. You are only 1 week post op. You really should weight 6 weeks to do anything more strenuous. Your body is not healed yet and doing more strenuous activity puts your healing at risk. Good Luck

Hey There!! I am in MA too!! Congrats on your decision. It is a big one but a great one. I am five months out and couldn't be happier that I did this. It has not been all smooth sailing but I would do it all over again. I feel 10 years younger and the healthiest I have felt in years. Good luch...

HI Guys, So I think I can finally say the hair loss has slowed down if not stopped. I am getting between 60-70 grams of protein a day (surgeons recommendation), taking my vitamins and the hair, nails and skin supplement from BJs. Finally there is not a huge ball of hair at the bottom of the...

Thank you all for your posts. I picked up the supplement from BJs yesterday. Hopefully it will help. Never considered myself a vain person but losing all this hair was really starting to freak me out. Even at my heaviest I always got compliments on my hair. So losing it so much of it really is...

Well I am now 6 weeks post op... time to go back to work on Friday. Cannot believe it! Have to admit I am nervous to go back to my overnight shifts. Walking 2-3 miles every other day to get myself used to being on my feet for 8-12 hours. Any one have any tips for me?? Would love some insight on...

HI There, You are absolutely normal to be scared. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and it was the hardest, but best thing I have ever done. I have been in the healthcare field for 12 years and therefore knew all the things that could go wrong (and some of them did) and I still would do it again if...

Hi there, I am 34, married with a 7 and 5 year old. I am 3 weeks post op and brand new to this website. Would love to connect on here. Good luck!
