Sorry I took so long to reply. I haven't really had any complications. I am iron deficient which is common. I also run very low on potasium so I take an extra one. I must admit that I do take the Optisource DAILY. I used the cream on the scars immediately and they are almost unable to be noticed. Remember to keep drinking water since you're body will dehydrate, be easy on yourself ... your body will be weak due to low calories at first, and exercise. It will help the muscles tighten up so the weight of the excess skin will not pull your back and hips out of alignment.

I hope this helps some and CONGRATS on you upcoming change!

I hope your appt goes well. The worst they may do is tack on another nut appointment before you see the dr. What insurance coverage do you have?
