  14. Hey guys! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. I'm at 163. Total of 62lbs lost and 43 more to go till I reach my goal weight. I've had struggles and stalls but trying to stay motivated. Really hard with schedule to get enough exercise in. And to remember to take my vitamins. Hopefully it will get easier. Going through the hair loss stage right now too. Glad to see everyone on here. You guys keep me going!
  15. I'm in! I will post weight and goal on the 22nd.

  17. Down two pant sizes , watch is loose and had to size down my wedding ring!
  18. My B12 level was really high too but it's probably because I'm taking two B12 vitamins a day. NP told me I can cut back if I want to. It was my choice but definitely need to up my Vitamin D.

  21. I just had my two month post op on Thursday. I'm down 45 pounds and vitamin levels look good except for my vitamin D. Have to up that like a lot! I can't see the difference in the mirror but can tell in the way clothes fit. I am down two pant sizes which is great. I have about 55-60 pounds left to go until I reach my ideal weight. Glad to see that everyone else is doing well. ????
  22. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Down 40 lbs and feeling great. Been busy at work and home. How is everyone else doing?
  23. I was tired for 2 weeks post op but once I started my vitamins, all I want to do is work out. I am 1 month post op now. Hope things work out well for you. Good luck!

  26. Thanks for your response! Honestly- when I compare RNY to the sleeve, there's not a huge difference in severity. If anything- I feel more at ease not having 85% of an organ completely removed from my body. My biggest concern about RNY was pregnancy. I suffer from infertility which is caused by my PCOS- but my surgeon reassured me today that pregnancy is still safe after 18 months and nothing for me to fret over. The rerouting of my intestines is a little nerve wracking as well. He also said the recovery times were the same. How long were you out of work? I was originally anticipating 2 weeks for the sleeve. My employer is a gem and has been incredibly supportive of my journey so far, but I would hate to tell him I need more time off. BUT- I'm 27 years old and I need to get my life together before it's too late. When discussing my family medical history with my surgeon today, he was absolutely flabbergasted at the amount of heart disease. My father alone had 3 heart attacks which required 5 bypasses with his last one. He basically told me that with my genetics, I've been set up for failure. Lol. I laugh- but it's really not funny. It scares the heck out of me..I am 1 month post-op and I am very happy with my decision. I am down 30lbs! I researched for months before deciding to go with the RNY. Not going to lie, you are sore like after any surgery but I was back to work after 2 weeks. Good luck to you! Let us know when you are scheduled.
