hey dude people at a heavier starting weight tend to loose a lot of weight at the beginning of their journey, will slow down a little as time passes, but will do great it's mind boggling to me that you or anyone can loose 64 lbs in 2 weeks not sure about that - but..... ok, that's great!!! continued good luck, health and happiness☺️ kathy

@bajankat you've gone through helll, and your NOT back yet. hopefully, gradually things will start to go your way. i am hugging you, trying to get rid of your pain? take care, feel better soon good luck kathy

@CrystalV What @Sheribear68 said above^ ^^- very true - same feelings from me when i read a post about regrets (possibly because they now can't eat food well, or someone had physical complication PO) i feel bad for them, i feel guilty (sounds silly) probably because i never had any prob - pre and PO continuing these past 7+ years with my sleeve. I see you are now 3 months PO - how have things been going? i hope you are doing and feeling ok. good luck☺️ your bud kathy

@funky_monkey800 nice to see you again☺️ a couple of OP have also offered me "extra" food - esp. goodies. Some peep might think their being nice by pushing the food. not true, but their thoughts Orrrrr, some people want YOU to eat because they are heavy - and they want company with their eating hope all is well bud kathy

@Caela88 yes, i knew someone she had the lapband for a few years - erosion, then sleeve - heartburn - revision to RNY haven't seen her in quite awhile - hopefully all is well. i don't know how often this happens, but for the above reasons it's sad, but understandable is a 3rd revision in your future? hope all goes well whatever you do☺️ good luck kathy

@Frustr8 you have gone through ups and downs these past couple of years looking great now we want pictures, pictures, pictures and more pictures!!! or maybe you are a figment of my imagination? kathy

@marissa welcome newbie many OP were quiet, shy for a bit - but once the "leader" started talking, everything went smoothly - and people asked questions, she responded - back and forth. All went well, and i was a better person afterwards? good luck kathy

Greetings from Syracuse, NY happily sleeved 7+ years ago "maintaining" GOAL 105 lbs down - fluctuating by 8 lbs 65 yrs YOUNG? kathy

OMG you've been through the ringer. I can only imagine what you've been dealing with. when was your surgery? Who is helping/treating you now. you've lost a lot of weight, but you are too sick to enjoy your weight loss. Eating only small spoonfuls, yet continuing to lose too much weight the wrong way. i have had no complications over the past 7+ years - i am so sorry for your problems Venting is good and therapeutic - vent away sending you healing thoughts❤️ get well soon good luck kathy

@Tralynn222 sorry your PCP is giving you a hard time, find another doc that will give you the OK don't let her thoughts sway you. You'll be so happy w/WLS - your new life is right in front of your eyes. ☺️ for financial reasons, many OP go to Mexico Many many many OP have great success in Mexico - complications can happen anywhere, USA or Mexico. good luck bud Kathy

@50coupe332 yeah, being approved - wonderful!! your new exciting life is right in front of your nose get a jump start pre-op - shakes, watch your portions - many water rules to get used to such as no drinking w/meals and not drinking for 30-45 minutes after you eat? (whatever your NUT will tell you) good luck - work hard - you will do great!! kathy
