  1. I also have pain in my neck, back and shoulder. After I'm up for a little I get week in the knees and a little lightheaded. It does get a little better each day. I've noticed that a shower and getting dressed wears me out-- need a nap after. Also my feet are swollen (but getting better each day!) Good news though -- no heartburn/bile reflux and no hunger!
  2. I had mine Tuesday. The hernia was bad-- a prior surgery had come loose again and the mesh hadn't dissolved (lots of scar tissue). Hernia repair and RNY took 4.5 hours- I'm still extremely tired and not able to walk much but it gets better every day! Still taking pain meds. We should keep up with each other-- I also had mine for medical reasons (Bile Reflux). I was sleeved two years ago so I only need to lose about 35lbs to goal weight.

    Prilosec?

    Hi! I had sleeve done in 2013 and now my gerd/heartburn is out of control. I'm trying to get approved for the bypass but so far insurance has denied it. Any secrets you can share to getting approved?

    Labor day Challenge

    175-- I gained a lb-- but it's stopping there. I've been lax in exercising because of family visiting from out of town but that has to stop. Here's to a new week.

    4th of July Challenge

    Current weight 179 Goal weight 175 I have not lost weight in the last 6-8 wks--I am 5 months from surgery and starting to get concerned about this stall. Any good advice to jump start again? I've tried more water, different exercise, eating more, eating less-- it's exhausting worrying about it! I'm not close to my goal at all. I go from 179 to 180 to 178 back to 179 over and over. Bea, I'm so thankful for the challenges -- they are the only thing keeping me from giving up right now!

    Hi Everyone! This is going to be a great challenge, right? CW 180 Goal 175 I'm going to get this stall moving again --some how some way! Anyone have suggestions that have seemed to work in the past?

    Easter Challenge

    Final weight 180. I really hope this is a stall and not the end of my loss. I am almost 4 months post surgery but have another 30 lbs to go. I don't feel like I have changed my eating or anything so I am not giving up. Marching on!!!! Happy Resurrection day!
