Hey, my October crew!! We are hanging in there! I'm officially down 101lbs from my high weight and 68lbs down from my surgery date. Amazing!!

WORK IT OUT! I'm so happy for you!

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

Looking fab Barb!!

Ren- I'm really sorry to hear about your complications. I hope everything gets resolved quickly and you have a speedy recovery!
