It won’t let me correct it. I had bypass July 2015. Never had revision.

I am in Jacksonville but i just had surgery lol. Cant work out yet. hoping to try to ride my bicycle soon over in either fleming island or at the Baldwin Bike Trail off of I-295.

Vitamin E oil, Bio-Oil, or Mederma

I used bio oil. Worked well for me. Some people love the silicon scar tapes too.

Whose 5 years out or about? How are you doing?
I’m 5 years post op gastric bypass. Sitting at 150. Still wanting to lose the last few lbs. started at 402. Looking for some new friends. It’s been awhile since I’ve been on here. But it’s nice to have friends who understand this way of life. ❤️ shoot me a message or leave a comment. I’d love to hear your journey!

I have my five-year anniversary in four days!!
doing well. Initially got down to into the 130s but gained 15-20 lbs in year 3 (10 of which I was OK with - with my large frame and musculature, 130s was too light for me). I stabilized at 150 for a couple of years, but last fall I was abroad for a month, then came back in time of the holidays, and then the pandemic hit, so I managed to get up to 160. I'm working on getting back down to 150 as that's where I feel best. It's happening but S-L-O-W going. Who knew how hard it would be to lose a measly 10 lbs?
anyway, overall it's been a great success and I'd do it over again 1000 times... Shouldn't have waited so long to take the plunge!

I understand all of that, which is why I took the time to explain this to you. We can't have too many bari bloggers out there posting inspirational, HEALTHY, approaches to life after WLS, IMHO. I want you to succeed. (And FYI, the affiliate links are one of the way most bloggers make money. And in the beginning, it's quite small remuneration, but some big bloggers are making thousands. So it's not an insignificant source of income/advertising that you are trying to promote. Not totally altruistic. But you should not have to be altruistic. You should be able to make money from your experience and knowledge and help. You just need to "own it" and not make it appear like you're doing it from the goodness of your heart.)

Where is everyone from?? I’m looking for a friend!

Had RNY JULY 2015. :) I had surgery at Cleveland clinic of Florida but now live in Omaha Nebraska.
