I went with a different surgeon due to insurance issues. Had major GERD issues with Barrett’s esophagus, my GI had me maxed out on PPI’s and did PH monitoring, EGD, and Barium’s swallow tests. All of this is usually required by insurance companies before they will pay for the revision. Sometimes GERD is caused by a change in the anatomy of the original sleeve (which was not the case for me) my Dr told me if that is the case they can use a ballon to change it to what it should be or try to resleeve rather than a revision to RNY. It’s definitely worth a consult before such a major surgery. Wishing you all the best…

Goal weight for this challenge: 210

I'm in thanks..hopefully I'll meet my goal this time! Glad you're doing well after surgery

6/2 weigh in.. current weight 227

Current weight 229.6. Don't think I will reach my weight goal, but went to my endocrinologist today and she is thrilled. My PCOS is in remission, H-A1C is the lowest it's been in years, cholesterol is normal. So a NSV for me.

@dashofpixiedust8 - keep the faith, slow and steady wins the race. You are just in a nasty stall (which fixes itself) or you are having trouble sticking to plan, (which you can fix when you are ready to focus again.) Life never remains easy or hard, and your situation will change. Staying at a weight during a crisis is a HUGE victory.

Thanks dashofpixiedust. I didn't think I was going to get to goal but I kicked up the exercise. Thanks for your encouragement! You'll be in the "2's" any day now!!!

3/24/17 Current weight: 244.3. Yay!! Thank you dashofpixiedust for helping me stay accountable.

Something to think about with clothes. Call your local battered women's shelter and donate to them. Many of these women leave a situation with literally "the clothes on their back". Especially if you have nice clothes you wore for office work. Goodwill donations are good too.also if your community has a program that helps low income women dress for success. They could use the donations too. I know many big women really dress well. It would be nice to know your good clothes went to help someone else who was making a change in their life. I have clothes I bought but never wore, in 22,24. Sizes.....I just never felt comfortable in my clothes and I so look forward to the day that I do. [emoji4]

My weigh in for this week is 303.8! I almost cried on the scale! I thought I would never reach my challenge goal of 299 this time because I kept going up and down with all the traveling and not making great choices but I started meal planning again and measuring and tracking and going back to the gym and I lost almost 14 pounds this week! I'm so excited! I can NOT wait to see a 2 at the beginning of my weight!!

3/17/17 current weight: 247.7

You are beautiful, congratulations on your progress! Can you tell me what is your diet like now? How fast do you lose and what kind of exercise do you do if you don't mind me asking?
