Hi all - I'm 3 month out and down 28 pounds.... I'm a low bmi too and have been a slower loser... Just dropped under 30 bmi and now 'overweight' lol

Hi all - I've stalled through weeks 6-8, but I'm ok with it. I'm eating normal foods again. Just sticking with it, I'm sure it will move again soon! Feeling great being 11kgs down since op day, don't mind at all if the next 11 are slow, as long as I get there. Just about to join a gym as I haven't yet done any exercise, but I think that will help shake this stall up a bit! A tip- when you eventually try steak again, go very slowly... Tried it last night and thought I was having a heart attack ( took hours for the pain to pass.

6 weeks out and have lost a bit over 10 kgs (22 pounds?) from adelaide, australia

I've had pretty bad pain at my left side too! my surgeon told me that that was the side he did the most work through and that I have a short torso so there wasn't much room between my hip and the bottom of my ribs. I'm 2.5 weeks out now and not taking any pain meds. I still can't sleep on my left side comfortably, but it's definitely starting to get better

Surgery went well thanks... But developed pneumonia afterwards, so was in the hospital for a week and a half and now have been home for a week with a picc line in and nurses coming out daily to administer IV antibiotics. Hopefully the picc line comes out tomorrow. Had planned on being back at work today but just not ready yet so taking another few days off. Have done 2 weeks liquids and now onto purees but really don't have that much interest in food. Have lost 6 kilos in 2.5 weeks and feeling positive!

Thanks so much for all that information! Really helpful!! Fingers crossed I'm as successful as you are )

Well done!!! That's so inspirational for me. I had my Omega loop (revision from band then sleeve) just over 2 weeks ago and have lost 6kgs. So happy for you, thanks for updating us! Any tips on eating/habits/learnings?

Hi all I had my mini gastric bypass (omega loop) 7 days ago. Previously I had a sleeve and before that a lapband. Also had a hiatal hernia fixed and am still in hospital but that's because I developed a chest infection after surgery. MGB-wise though the pain wasn't too bad. My surgery took 3 hours, longer than expected, but my surgeon has only just started doing MGBs... And my stomach has been though a lot in the past since the lapband mangled it lol Looking forward to heading home tomorrow or the day after if this cough would clear up!

I'm 5'6, 94kgs (207) and hoping to get to 68 kgs (150) I'll let you know how the op goes

Hi sunnynyc, have you had your surgery yet? I'm going in for my mini gastric bypass (conversion from sleeve) on Monday!

Oh no pinklove!! That's shit I hope you can keep it under control until may. At least they have a game plan to manage it until then I suppose. How can they just change their mind like that?! Thanks for the vote of confidence. Here's hoping October is the start of a new chapter for me

I'm feeling ok. Somewhat embarrassed about it though I suppose (I haven't reached goal yet and this will be my 3rd weight loss surgery). But hey, everyone is walking their own road so I'm just trying to stay positive this might be my golden ticket. Hope your pre op went well!

Hi pinklove - I'm also a band to sleeve and now going in in October for a mini gastric bypass

Hi there! Great questions!! Following! I'd love to hear others responses too

Thanks thesupportedhalf! Well done on your weightloss so far... Thats awesome!! You've definitely given me hope that my 3rd time might be the charm
