Wow! What a friend.

Looking good:)

Silastic Ring in Gastric Bypass The successful utilization of silastic gastric rings to control the stoma size in vertical banded gastroplasty, has led bariatric surgeons to use both silastic rings and Marlex bands in gastric bypass procedures, (eg. Fobi Pouch) to maintain the stoma size and reduce stretching. Ring circumference is typically larger than that provided for in primary bariatric procedures, so that their regulatory effect is only triggered after some degree of stretching of the pouch has occurred. A Silastic Ring Gastric Bypass with a 6.0 cm ring achieves equivalent weight loss to one with a 5.5 cm ring, but with better quality of eating, and less prospect of requiring ring removal. However, there remains a small proportion of patients in whom a 6.0 cm ring is poorly tolerated. For this reason a 6.5 cm ring should be tested.

Even those you see the hips you have curves now. I had curves but once my tummy went down I got more shapely.

Welcome to the group & protein shakes are recommended for the liquid diet.

I haven't had any complains. My husband have a sensitive nose so if I was smelly he would had mention it lmbo

Alright! Congrats on the weight lost. You done great!!!

Sexy legs are back alright! I use less shaving cream Lolz

Welcome to the group. Do you have a dietician? Do you still see your surgeon yearly for check up? What do they tell you? I'm 6 months post up. Never gain 1lb back I'm down 84lbs. I try to eat as healthy as possible. I'm lacking on exercise which I should kick my own ass for. Have you done the pouch test? I heard it works.

It has happen to me. One day one food falls good the next is like I ate a bomb.

I didn't see it but my friend text me this about 1hr ago. A guy shot 20 kids and 6 adults then killed him self. I gotta read it my self. This is so crazy. I feel sad for those poor ppl.

I quit like 1 year or more before thinking on WLS. The main reason why I quit was because at age 1 my son was autism. That was a shock for me. Before he turn 2 I decided to quit for him. I decided I want to always be there for him & help him & what good would I be if I was to get cancer & die he would be with out me & no one will love my son more then I do.

I did when I was having issues but now I don't. Best decision ever.

I feel so bad for you but sometimes you have to be on top of ppl in order to get things done. I was on top of everyone but I could be a pain but I just get pushy till I get what I want or need. Do the same. Try nice then get pushy then mean & demanding.

Ms. Mandy don't worry about the weight. Sometimes like mention above you lose inches & if your exercising muscle weights more. I'm at stall right now & I figure hey I can lose those last 2lbs before I go down 15lbs more,but it's been 2 weeks and nada happen. My size 4 pants are getting lose on me I feel my hip bone when I lay down. I'm not wearing the faja as often & it looks like I had a mini tummy tuck cuz you can't barely see my tummy. So the scale is frozen but I'm sure you are melting away just like me. You will be able to tell when your pants have room if you can fit 2 fingers in your pants your losing weight in inches not on the scale. If you take a photo now I'm sure your face is smaller then when you started. I didn't realize it till I took a photo & my face was smaller.

What happen?

That sucks! Go smack someone. Call them find out what happen. I hope it works out & it will.

Sounds good

How long you been feeling like this?
