Thank you!

Hey Everyone. I had a scary moment last week. To make a long story short, had abdominal pains which confirmed by ct scan ended up being a small bowel obstruction. I had surgery to remove the scar tissue that had wrapped around my small intestines. It wasn't alot but enough to cause the pain I was having. Not sure if it was related to my RNY. Everything in that area looked good in that area. The dr stated any surgery can cause scar tissue, which I've had laparoscopic surgeries in the past. I spent 5 days in the hospital but I'm better now. And out of the hospital! I hope everyone is continuing to do good.

I am a revision too from the lapband.

Hi Everyone, I go in for my 6 month check in next week. I've lost 52 since my revision from the lapband. It has been a slow process but I'm doing my best to be patient. I'm 191. The doctor's office expected me to be 180 in April. Maybe a miracle will happen and I will lose 11 pounds by next week..lol. I have lost alot of inches. I'm very pleased about that. I hope everyone else is doing good. I have 25 more pounds until goal!

Hi...I'm a Rny conversion too from the lapband. I had gas pains bad. Just walk as much as you can and use gas x strips.

I'm in the same boat. I've been between 195-197 the past 3 weeks. My goal is 165. When I had my last dr visit, they said I should be around 180 in April. I've been exercising more and getting my Protein in (80 grams a day). I'm hoping the weight loss picks back up soon...like really really soon!

I know how you feel. I was stalled for 3 weeks this last time. Before that, it was a 2 week stall a month after my surgery

Thank you....44 down...about 39 to go

I am finally 199 (again). I haven't seen that number since a year after I had the lapband surgery. Hopefully I will never see that number again nor anything over 200 lbs now that I've had gastric bypass. The lowest I got with the band was 189. My weight loss has been slow but steady. I have 39 more pounds to my goal weight. I hope everyone else is doing well!

Maybe this will help. I have used this in the past. [ATTACH]41364[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]41364[/ATTACH]

I think I am either going to cut it off or put braids back in my hair. It's so depressing to see how thin it is. I do have a spaces of misses hair too that I try to cover up as best as possible. I know it's just hair & I don't mind cutting it short but it's the thinness that makes it look so unhealthy. I am hoping that if I cut it, my hair will grow back thicker..??

Good question....mine is thinning.

Rice does not agree with me anymore. It's a good thing but yet I do miss eating it.

My hair is very thin now and not as long as it use to be. I am thinking about cutting my very short.
