Congrats back2barb - so close to your first goal!! <br><br> My weight loss has been a grand total of 0lb in the last ten days! I have really kicked up my exercise recently though so I'm hoping it is something to do with that. Otherwise I am just plodding along and hoping the scale starts moving again soon - I am down 76lb and hoping to lose another 40 or so

Good job on the loss. I totally understand about the stall I'm currently in one as well ARGH!

So I was sleeved October 7th, 2013 and down officially over 100 pounds since day of surgery. I am now just about 140 pounds. Turns out my stomach is 'twisting', and now five months out it is being discovered I may have to go in for another surgery, which have risks as any do, plus more. This is very , very uncommon. There are two procedures they can do, one of them doesn't even have a name which scares me and the second one would be to going through getting a Bypass. I'm VERY nervous and anxious. I will find out more on Wed. I go in for another endoscopy, this one I will be in the main operating room and put fully asleep, not local. If something needs to be done they will go to town if they feel it needs to be done immediately. My symptoms include (which I didn't find uncommon) excessive sensativity to foods and beverages as the main symptom. Really I thought it was normal. IF they have to do full bypass I am very much scared not only because it is the bypass but because I am already 20 pounds under my personal goal weight and my doctor says I have no excess body weight to lose as I have already exceeded that. I have included an updated picture. This is very uncommon and a lot of times there is little to no symptoms. Everyone is doing great, keep up the amazing work!

Thank you MWS, SuperK, Ren, and LTC7!! Our Oct people rock!!

Ren, I'm so sorry you're having trouble and have to have further surgery. Make sure to keep us updated. When did the food problems start? I'm definitely going to go for my EGD my doctor recommends 6-12 months post to check everything and make sure it's ok. I would've thought the food intolerances were normal too. I'm sorry :)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
