It is hard to believe that no one will come on here and look!! I saw this and came right away!!!! I would LOVE to have something in Tarrant County. DFW is a nice way to say where we are.. but I am FROM Fort Worth!

I was sleeved in Feb of 2014 and the lowest I've been was 242. I crept back up and thought.. Hmmm.. Something is not right. No matter what I did. So I scheduled with a surgeon here Fort Worth, TX who is an affiliate of True Results. I just had my EGD done on April 19 and learned that.. I have an enlarged sleeve, 3cm hiatus hernia, and an irritation of the throat from chronic acid reflux. This makes me soo incredibly unhappy as well as the surgeon. He told me that my previous surgeon uses a 40 to determine the sleeve size as his standard. Where as other surgeons use a smaller one. I guess I am venting but also would like to know if anyone else has ever experienced this. I am hoping to have revision surgery to get back on track.

Having someone not be there for you like you were for her, is very upsetting and disheartening. I would say find a new circle of friends but still be her friend. She will see that you are not trying to "One up" her. If you were trying that, you would have done it a long time ago.
I some what agree that she does not want you to lose weight. She might feel you will be better at it, progress better and find a better way of life. She asked if you were going to stay the same because she knows SHE did not stay the same. SHE changed.

Well I was sleeved May 2014, my deciding factor was severe GERDS which actually completely stopped my weight loss from ever taking place... My sleeve was basically none functioning, I vomited in my sleep every night sometimes during the day this went on for nine months before I decided to start the process of having the revision since none of the meds worked. Since having the revision the GERDS is completely gone and that's a great feeling. I can definitely feel that my stomach is very small and I'm progressing nicely and I'm losing about a pound a day since the day of surgery

Has this helped you with on your journey?? I will check it out, too!! Cheesiness is hard to get past when you seem to always find either annoying or funny! LOL

I'm just wondering when was the first time you became aware of being fat.
I think we all can remember a moment when you realized that your size was a problem or that you were different from normal weight people.
For me, I remember being about 8 and having a teacher tell me that I shouldn't have another piece of cake. I later overheard her talking to a mom who volunteered at our class parties. She told the mom to keep an eye on me because I eat too much and she felt it was her duty to make me lose weight. I was shocked because until that moment, being fat hadn't occurred to me. I just really liked cake.
I began my journey at 42, HW 275 CW 252. Surgery date: 3/31/16. I'm just thinking a lot about food issues and my beliefs about my weight. Hoping to get a handle on things before surgery.
