Hello! Great place you have here. I look forward to getting to know you awesome, brave, smart, good looking people! Lol:)

A little about me:

I had the roux-en-y many years ago, about 15ish?

Then a revision with limb lengething about 6 mo. Ago... That was working as far as weight loss, but I had a lot of symptoms, including intestinal issues. 24/7

So..... Last week I went in for a band over the whole she-bang! With a little shortening to get my tummy troubles under control. So far, so good. Yeah, I know. It's still early. But I'm optimimistic!

I'm in my mid 30s I would love to get to about 155 pounds. I just want to be really healthy so I can be more active and adventurous.

I couldn't agree with you more! When I had it done the first time is was a pretty uncommon procedure. I went out of town for it and had no follow up instructions. Times have changed so much, thank goodness!

I'm down 50+ pounds since the revision 6mo. Ago. things seem to be working for me. I love that there is so much experience and knowledge here in one place:)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
