I'm 4 years post op. I had regained 35 lbs. Back in April I decided to get it off and I have. I'm at the lowest weight I've been at since my surgery. I'm going to try to lose about 10 more lbs. otherwise I'm happy where I am now.

I tried posting this in the powder room but it wouldn't let me. Lol
My 20th high school reunion is in a couple weeks. Which shoes do you think look best with this dress? I'm leaning towards the shoes in the top left hand corner as they are flats. Opinions welcomed.

I don't struggle during these holiday weekends any longer. I'm like Christinamo7, and usually don't eat enough on the weekends, versus the amount of activity I do on the weekends.

I'm 4 years post op. I stopped smoking one month before my surgery. I stayed not smoking for two more years following surgery. However I fell off the wagon and started smoking. Been smoking again for 2 years. No ulcer issues.

I also do intermittent fasting. I only eat between the hours of 12pm-8pm. Been doing it for a couple months now and I like it.
I am a firm believer the sleeve doesn't stretch

I'm excited, I weighed in at my lowest weight after surgery this morning. So, I've managed to take off my 35lb regain. I was aiming for 168 as my goal weight, but I've pushed it to 165 now. So 9lbs to go. I'll see how I feel about losing more when I get there.

Well, obviously this is not your case as you stated you get all your Protein in, but when I backslide on the types of food I'm eating, aka not enough Protein, I start losing my hair a lot. It still happens to me 4 years out.

That happens to women who haven't had surgery. They might even gain, due to Water retention. It's very common. Try to not let it stress you.
I've been stuck at the same weight for 7 days due to these reasons. I'm expecting a whoosh soon.

Unfortunately if you owe it, you owe it even if someone else made a mistake and didn't charge you prior to surgery.
My advice is to try to make payment arrangements with the hospital as to a monthly amount they want sent.
Good luck

I was self pay. My first appointment with the surgeon was April 24, my surgery was June 12. I was able to schedule it as soon as I had my finances in order. After my consultation, I started the loan process through my credit union. When I had the money, I called and set a date. I didn't have to jump through any of the usual hoops that insurance patients do. I just had the normal pre surgery blood work. I had a liquid diet for either 3-5 days before hand (it's been a long time ago, can't remember exactly.)

I never made it to my original goal either. Like I stated earlier I'm now 6lbs away from my lowest weight and 9 until goal weight, so I have 15lbs left to go. However, my overall weight I wanted to lose is 44lbs. I've lost 29 since April. It just took some discipline to get back into the habits I made that first year post op. I'm finding its like riding a bike though, and now that im back into the swing of things, it's become habit to weigh, measure and log my food.
Good luck to you, whatever you decide!
