Hello, My name is Colleen. I recently had RNY surgery on Feburary 25th, 2013. I weighed in at 210lbs the day of surgery. At my largest I weighed 225. Im 5'1. All my life I have had issues with weight. At age 16 I got on birth control and I ended up gaining so much weight off of that. At 18 I was diagnosed with PCOS & HYPOTHYROIDISM. The past four years ive struggled with concieving. My body never ovulated and I had irregular cycles. On December 13th, 2012 I had my first consult with a bariatric surgeon. He told me my chances of concieving after surgery are very high. He felt I was a great canidate. Over the course of the next two months, I saw my physcologist, dietician, etc. I lost about 10lbs before going into surgery. Its been 22days since ive had surgery & im weighing in at 190lbs. I feel great & I can see and feel the changes happening to my body. This surgery saved me. Im so blessed!

You're doing awesome!!! Glad you've decided to take charge of your life. And be careful, you ARE more likely to get pregnant but it's safest to wait until your weight loss stabilizes. I know we have a couple ladies here that had tried for years to get pregnant and then got a surprise weeks after surgery!

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225.8

Congrats on your surgery! Be careful with conceiving after RNY. I've been trying for almost 13 years and got pregnant one week post op. I'm now 7 weeks post op and 6 weeks pregnant.

I having a semi-hard time with bleeding and the baby has a low heartbeat because my body is under stress due to the rapid weightloss but he's hanging on there and will hopefully make it.

Awesome. I was on the pill but this was a topic that was not discussed by my surgeon so I had no clue. It is best to wait and I wish you lots of luck in the future ????

      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...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
