Ok folks, about this gall bladder stuff, what kind of pains do you get or shall I ask what are the symptoms? Right at this minute for past two hours I have had pain come and go on my right side underneath my chest.

thank you guys... I appreciate and respect your comments... its true, its sad to see a life end for any reason... but because of what ppl are going to say.... senseless... ppl are going to talk about you anyway...big or small... I hope my weight loss does encourage others... that is very important to me...

I love seeing the long term success! Congrats

I am 10 years out.. I've stayed at 150 for 10 years... If I had to do this journey all over again... I'd do it in a minute... I don't push the surgery on anyone... it is a very personal decision. I've only approached 3 women in 10 years to look into it... there complaint: I would rather do it myself... the right way... all had families all had babies... found out a couple of years ago... all three women died... all heart attacks.. this surgery is not a cure for obesity... it is not a cheat either... its a tool.. this surgery saved my life... I promise, I am a very up beat person... but I've been holding this in for such a long time... it feels sooo good just to release it...

Hello y'all, my surgery date was on 09/09/2013 and I am down 50 pounds and hate to exercise but I started two weeks ago on treadmill only. I tried Zumba but I couldn't keep up with them because of my left knee. Ugh, but oh well, I will keep on trying the treadmill at least 3x a week. So I still have problems throwing up and now I can't stomach tomatoes and spicy food. I used to love spicy food. Not no more!!! But I am still thankful to Our God for loosing fifty pounds.
Start weight: 282
Surgery weight: 272
Current: 222

Thank you for extending this invitation to the BariatricPal community! I hope your event this Saturday is a huge success!

Hello I had mine on September 9 and doing pretty good. Every now and then I eat to fast or little too much and then get qweasy. I learn my lesson every time. I weighed at 272 when I got out of hospital and now as of 11/01/2013 I weigh at 238. I feel great. I was diabetic before surgery now I am diabetic free, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol, no sleep apnea. I wish I could get rid of the arthritis but at least diabetes is not with me anymore and I am losing weight without exercise slowly but surely. Good luck to everyone and God bless.

Water aerobics takes the pressure off your joints if you can find a spot in the pool where thou are chest deep in water during your work out you are between %85-90 weightless. Less weight less pursue on the joints its a great way to exercise for people with mobility or joint problems. And always go at your pace no matter how fast or slow the instructor or class is going.

I had surgery the 4th also. My doc cleared me to eat regular food already. I haven't had any problems as long as its not dry meat.< /p>

I went from 286 to 253, and I can't see a difference...
