You look great. You also look super happy. Can't wait to be at that stage of this process.

Okay and as requested. It's not the best photo ever, but in comparison to my before photo - I can see a difference! This was taken on the 23rd Feb. 60.38% of my excess weight lost. 23lbs to go! If this stall ever bloody ends, I might just get there!!!! Before: Now:
Hot momma. You look Fabulous!!!!

The same thing is happening to me as well. I'm 5 months post-op and had virtually no periods to speak of prior to surgery. In February I had a light, but steady period for the entire month. I'm actually going for an ultrasound tomorrow to make sure the Mirena is in the right spot. My GYN nurse practitioner said this is not abnormal with the rapid weight loss. Hopefully it will go back to no periods.

I have 5 bras with matching panties size 44D or 42DD and most panties are 22/24. One is 14/16 (because that's all they had at the time).
There are 2 other bras nude and black--no panties.
Make an offer or if you're in desperate need, I'd probably just give them away for the cost of postage. Send me a private message if interested; haven't been on here much due to my work/school schedule , but I'd like to pass these on to a fellow wt loss person because they're practically new.

I used to take Questran years ago after I had my gallbladder removed too. I couldn't stand that gritty powder & just started taking Immodium when I was going to eat in public.
I mentioned this to my current doctor. She told me there is a med out in pill form that does the same as questran. It's call Welchol. It's very expensive, but it's worth a try if you have insurance that will cover it. Seemed to work for me..when I remembered to take it.

I have to agree with everyone who says they don't see the rolls. You look amazing. You and the hubs are doing amazing. I hope to make so much progress by 3 months.

Soooo I have been involved in a Bariatric Center of Excellence since August. They do a ton of testing and have lots of mandatory meetings, which is fine. I have learned a lot. Last month my upper GI showed signs of reflux. Due to that, they then wanted an upper endoscopy. Yesterday I had a meeting with the surgeon. She was amazing! Talked to my husband and I for over and hour. Bottom line is this: I cannot have the "regular" bypass due to Crohn's disease. She is apprehensive about doing the sleeve because of my reflux. She said if I then have severe problems with the reflux after, they do not have a back-up plan. They cannot go back and do the gastric. She said it could be a horrible, awful way to live - very painful, could lead to Barratts /cancer or a feeding tube! OR - I could end up fine with no problems! She is not taking it lightly and said neither should I. As it stands now, she wants me to give this surgery a lot more thought and she is going to talk with my GI specialist. Then we will meet again next Wednesday. I was so upset. I thought i already had my decision made! Guess not, now knowing all of these possibilities! I feel like I cannot make a decision until they both talk as they are the experts. Soooo I am wondering if ANYONE else has been in this situation? I cannot believe how much i have learned from all of the generous people on this site! I pray one day i am able to give back!
On a side note... I made "weight" for my surgery! Down 29 pounds in 11 weeks!
Thank you everyone!
Did your doctor mention a procedure called a Nissen if your reflux gets worse? I'm guessing that is a concern to her as well. The procedure involves wrapping the stomach around the esophagus to prevent the acid from going back up. I'm not sure if you'd be able to get that procedure if you were sleeved. I haven't run into that scenario at work so maybe ask about that.
