Well' date=' I think it is an important topic to discuss.

Yes Jane,

It was an important topic...

I'm not sure how it deteriorated overnight.

But it's a shame that it did...

Yeah I'm not sure why someone would delete all of their postings when they could possibly be helpful to someone later on. The op originally sounded like he was trying to share some information, but clearly sharing was not the intention or the posts would not have been altered.

I agree!! I was really looking for information on this and wanted to get others opinions on the subject! I know that ultimately it's up to me and my dr but I want to be sure I have thought about every aspect before making any decisions about another surgery. And I haven't made my mind up. So I have experienced only a 5lbs weight loss for the last 2 months, that's not to say my body might kick back into gear and I may go on to lose weight. It's just scary when I'm still at 305lbs and I'm already slowing way down. I'm happy if I can keep losing, don't get me wrong, I just wanna be sure my body isn't preparing to quit losing all together. Because then yes I would feel like a failure.

There is a DS forum on obesity help. You might find answers there.

Yes, sadly, some people are very childish...better known as trolls.

My mom had the DS as a single procedure so I'm well versed in that as well as the sleeve. Feel free to pm me if you have anymore questions :)

Thank you! My dr wants me to get ds but i insisted i want the sleeve so he said i can do it in 2 parts... hopefully i have good weight loss w sleeve that i dont have to do the 2nd part... rerouting scares me.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
