Hi everyone!

Out from my endoscopy just resting in the post op lounge. More bad news though :( they discovered polyps in my stomach which now have to be biopsied all that keeps flashing in my head is "Cancer!!!" Have to wait for the results before i can even think about surgery.......if he will do it now :(

I'm 32 years old and am feeling 100yrs old at the moment, no sure what else to write really.........feeling a bit sorry for myself right now.

Stay positive, keep us updated.

I'm sure it'll work out for the best.

Some Dr's don't even do an endoscopy so it's great that they've found out now and can get it sorted.

Keep your chin up, jump through all the hoops. I'm sure next year all these issues to overcome will be of no consequence.

The leak issue being a thing of the past must be a huge relief. Onwards and upwards! Deano

Hi All

I haven't checked in for a while and have just caught up on the thread - great to see everyone doing so well with their weight loss - i remember when i went from obese to overweight - i was so happy too.

The dreaded scales - I also had the weight watchers ones which packed it in quite quickly, my prior Bi-lo cheapo ones were great until my husband tripped over them and they shattered!

The ones I have now are great and seem to weigh the same as my doctors - so happy.

Mimz - sorry to here your news about the polyps - please try not to worry until you know what you are dealing with - easier said than done I know. The one positive is that they have found them now - if you hadn't been having the surgery you may never have known so I think this is a good thing. I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Let us know how you go.

Lila - that is fantastic news. We were all wishing that it would turn out well for you and I guess we all got our wishes. Onward and upward!!! ( or downward in our case!) Your must be so happy to get the all clear and to know that everything is back on track.

Aussie Girl - great to hear that you are dating! You are looking fantastic and still losing ( or should I say winning!)

Welcome all new people to our thread. Hope you enjoy the group of people on here - they have all been a wealth of support and advise for me since my op in July this year. My total weight loss is 33 kg - started at 102 when I was referred by my GP and weighed myself yesterday at 68.8 - BMI of 25 so in the healthy weight range and really happy about that. I am losing very slowly now but not worried about that. Any loss from now on is a bonus!

Thanks Lila

I am really looking forward to the day that I will be saying the same to you! You must be so happy with your own progress!

Isn't it fantastic that we all know that this weight loss is really going to happen for all of us and is no longer a dream that we hope is going to come true,

I think I have said this before but for me, this has been such a weight off my shoulders psychologically,. I never realised how much I worried about my health and weight on a daily even hourly basis until now. I still catch myself worrying before I remember that I am not over weight anymore!!! It is such a liberating feeling!

Good question, puppyphat! I never do resolutions, cause in the past it's always been about my weight. This year (thanks to my sleeve), I think my resolution will to be overweight (rather than super obese, which is where I started). Looking at the BMI chart, I've already gone from super obese, to morbidly obese to severely obese! And I am about 0.2 off moving into the obese range! Not bad for 3 months :) Anyway, if I can just be overweight that'd be great.

Its weird, for the first time in my life it is the first year I am not making a resolution to loose weight. Next years resoltuions will probably be something like this:

- Maintain my weight

- Get even fitter (including running 5km straight)

- Tone up

- Date (lots)..or find a right guy

- Go somewhere I havent been before

- Make sure I get lots and lots of hugs from my nephews

My new years resolution is to have surgery lol! Not looking good for me my friends, i am being investigated for barretts osephagus also :( apparently its a huge contradiction to the sleeve surgery i may be destined to live off lite n easy for the rest of my life. My follow up for results is 24th January, i have this feeling though i will be turned down for vsg.......

RNY would be the only other option and i dont think i want to go diwn that path.

Anyone doing anything spectacular for xmas?? Bbq at mums for our family this year.

Hi Mimz, I have everything crossed that your results do not show Barrett's Oesophagus but if they are positive for this condition, why are you reluctant to have a 'Bypass' (RNY)?

Here's to the results that you want in January.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
