I started out at 306 lbs. 6 months supervised diet ended at 280. 2 weeks of Fluid took off 10 more lbs!!! Surgery was 9-21-15. Gastric bypass. I'm now 202. I'm very happy with my progress but I'm really aware of my neck. I have much more weight to lose (I'm 5'2")... As you get closer to goal does the neck skin get any better? I'm much happier with hanging skin than a triple chin but just wanted to ask for others experiences. Thank you Sent from my HTC One_M8 using the BariatricPal App

Today I saw my primary doctor. The nurse taking my vitals used a standard Size blood pressure cuff on me!!! That's never happened in my adult life.... Always had the larger size cuff!!! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using the BariatricPal App

I'm not sure what caused the stricture. My surgeon did tell Me that sometimes they have to do a stricture repair twice... But the first one fixed me right up!! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using BariatricPal

Oh I feel so bad for you two. Do you mind telling me what they think caused your stricture, and what they did to help you, and what will help you now since you still have some issues? Thank you. I'm going to go read up on this now, I've only glossed over it. This certainly should help the OP get back to the dr for this check up. I am so sorry for both of you! =( I am 5 months post op now and after my stricture repair I have been good. Every now and then certain foods make me a little sick but I think that's just something we all go thru. With the stricture repair what they did for me was do an egd.... They inflated a little balloon to open the stricture up. That's it. I was asleep thru the process and I just had a little gas when I woke up but felt so much better!!

At 8 weeks out... One day I threw up my Protein shake!!! I didnt think too much about it but as the day went on I started noticing that I couldnt drink as much Water as I had been. Later that day it was time for my next Protein shake... I couldnt finish it or keep it down!!! Next day I woke up and tried to start over .... Same Thing. Called my surgeons office and they wanted to get me in the hospital for egd. It took 3 days before my egd and I was so afraid I was going to dehydrate because I was barely drinking anything. Turns out it was a structure... Once that fixed me up I have had no trouble w my water or protein but every now and then ill try something new and up it comes. The zofram did not help my nausea at all while I had the stricture. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using BariatricPal

My rny was sept 20. Highest weight was 306. Lost to 280 during 6 months supervised diet. Lost 10 lbs during liquid diet (2 weeks). Surgery weight 270. Today I'm at 220. My loss has slowed down a lot since January but I'm happy!!

Goodbye stall!!!! 220.

The only thing I wished I had taken with me was a longer cord to charge my phone.

I posted this yesterday but on the wrong thread!!! Oops!!! 224.... Still in a stall. I'm doing my best to embrace it but I tell ya when you are going thru a stall you feel like it's never going to end!!! You do get a lil disappointed! I no I'm doing everything right and I know I won't b in this stall forever but I was sure hoping to make my goal since this is the first challenge I have participated in. Hopefully next time I will!

224.... Still. I'm in a stall that doesn't want to end. I know I should be "embrassing the stall" but to be honest it is hard. This is the first challenge I have ever been in and to not meet my goal does make me a little sad. I know I will get there but stalls are tough!!! While you are going thru them... you feel like it will never end.
