Had my surgery on 9/5/12, it has been a long hard month. Filled with many trips to the ER, lots of Dr. appointments, pain and highs & lows. But as of 10/5/12 I am down 50lbs. Still have a long way to go and hoping it starts getting smoother.

Glad to get an update from you. 50 lbs gone is great! Keep at it I think it should be getting easier.

Awesome work - I hope you start feeling better and the rest of your WL journey is smooth. Keep up the good work !

I hope the hardest is behind you, congrats on the 50 pounds loss.

I too hope the hardest is behind you. So happy for the 50 pounds lost, but I know it hasn't been easy. Treat yourself well. Praying for continued healing.

AWESOME. I hope I loose that much or more in first 30 Days...

Hello and Congrats MommyHand, that's awesome news....I just got converted from Lapband to Gastric on Oct. 10th, and its going well so far. So if its not to personal, can you tell us what sort of problems did you have that caused you to go in and out of the hospital?

Surgery date October 10, 2012

Congrats! What a great beginning... it does get better. I think the first couple of months are the hardest in terms of adjusting and complications. After that you get to enjoy the ride, including all the up and downs and stalls.

You go girl, so happy for ya

Wow! Congratulations on the huge weight loss.!!!

I hope that it can blurr the memory of the trips to the hospital.

I also had the op ( revision) on the 5th sept!! And down 37 pounds ... And very happy

Hope the next month is a lot easier for you!

So I ended up in the hospital for several weeks. Couldn't keep anything down for weeks & weeks. I was eventually put on TPN/IV nutrition. Now I am not loosing weight. I have no feeling in my legs. Was told it was from severe malnutrition.

Omg! I sure hope you get better soon.

Get better soon! Keep us updated on your progress. We are all praying for you

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. Do they know why you were not able to keep anything down? It so scary.
