I started at 200...BMI was 40.4. Now I'm 173...BMI is 34.9 I lost 20 lbs the month before my surgery. My goal BMI is 25. That puts my weight at 125. I'm 4'11" and I'm 62 years old.

First of all' date=' your doing great! I wish I was at 173!!!

My starting BMI was 47. I am 5'1

We're pretty much in the same boat. I'm 5 foot nothing and my bmi was, at my highest, 45.

What are digestive enzymes ?

You can find them at costco or health food stores or even grocery stores in the Vitamins. They are the enzymes that help you stomach properly use food and my clinic swears by them for weightloss. You take them when you eat.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
