Yes please let us know, too many with ulcers after this surgery , it's not mentioned in the things that can develop after and I really want to say something to my surgeon on my follow up visit

I am having the worse time getting out of the 150's. I bounce between 150 and 152. I think I am obsessed with the numbers, because I am currently wearing between a 4 and 6 and that is ok for me.

Wish I was in the 150's! I'm sure you look and feel great!

I asked my surgeon this many times as I had pre-cancerous erosions in my esophagus from reflux prior to surgery. He told me that it was one of the rarest but most stubborn post-op complications. He said that some people still have significant acid production that can reflux up through the Y and cause an ulcer at the point of the anastamosis between the pouch and the small intestines. Risk factors that can increase this are alcohol, smoking, NSAIDS or eating inappropriate foods all of which I had none of. It seems as if it boiled down to bad luck for me. I am still pretty weak and seem to have a great deal of pain after eating but I am hoping for more strength each day. My physician told me that 90% of them disappear on their own and only about 10% need surgical intervention. I am praying that I am in the 90%. I will keep you all informed. Thank you so much for your kind thoughts and prayers.

I went from a 38DD, to about a 34 B or C. At least I have way more bra options! I lost my butt as well, but I am just glad to be able to shop almost anywhere.

Thats true I went from a 40 dd to a small 36 d

I am so curious to know how I weigh 150lbs, yet wear a 4 or 6 at the most. I am not tall at 5'4". This doesn't seem to be the norm.
