Roux2011-1

They always say the first six months is your window of opportunity but trust me we quickly loose it's going to come off and you guys will be happy I was in your shoes before and I used to get so so frustrated with myself but trust me now just remain positive and know that no matter what you're going to meet that goal as long as you exercise eat properly

Plateaus are very very normal ladies they comes all the time I'm four years post op and I still have the stupid plateaus you guys are both doing great hang in there

Oh sunshine, if I can only tell you how many times we've all done that before surgery but just kind of focus on what you feel like now and how healthy are going to be afterwords buyers remorse is one of the worst things but truly I can't speak for everyone but I've never wanted anything more than my surgery and I did everything in anything to get it the only thing that Saved my life if I only have one regret it would be that you were more discussions on The psychological physical and spiritual issues that come with surgery I'm not a doctor so don't quote me but I do know that when we are heavy for so long and you become thing in your whole world changes but you'll do great If you'd like to message me or talk feel free.

Thank you for this knowledge

Well my journey started in January 2011 I weighed 274 pounds at the time of my surgery I am currently 53 by July 2011 I had already lost 100 pounds and then by the end of 2011 I actually met my goal weight which was originally 140 but then six months later I finally reached 132.5 the journey hasn't been as easy as I thought I do believe they need to do a little bit more in-depth conversations regarding the mental health portion of the surgery and how it affects your entire you know mental and physical status I believe it that probably would've helped a little bit however I mean a lot of life changes within a short period of time after surgery so anyway as of today 2015 I'm fabulous I'm add a great weight my body is healthy as much as it can be I'm happy I don't really understand the whole single thing and being thin thing however I'm learning it was the best decision I've ever made even though it's been kind of traumatic to recover.

Oh thank goodness!! I have been reading these forums and I seem like the only one that has had surgery in January 2011 so I don't really have much in common but thankfully you know how it feels lost all your weight and so did I and I absolutely love life now but it did take a while I've got everything I ever wanted it was so hard to a custom myself

May I ask why? The Roux-en-y can be challenging but it's really a positive journey on the end

Yea speaking from experience our boobs are the first to go ;(

Thanks for the welcome. This support group is long overdue my surgery was in January 2011 and I've kind of gone off and on with support groups and I realize now is the time that I'm going to finally commit and share my story
