Congratulations Alex! 11 years is a long time. Did you ever have any problems related to your WLS during those years?

This site you have created is amazing. So many people are finding the information and hope they need for their weight loss journey.

I would be honored if you would share some of your weight loss story on my web site that I am working on to offer information & inspiration to those who have either had WLS or considering it.

Thanks for your consideration and I hope you will share a bit of your story there.

Again congratulations!

Thank you so much to those of you who congratulated me on my 11-year surgiversary! I can hardly believe that it has been so long since my surgery! I am still grateful for what still feels like my new, healthy life that includes feeling good about myself, playing with my kids, and working out and loving it!

I really enjoy hearing your stories of how BariatricPal has made a positive difference in your lives. I am so glad to be able to provide this forum to support others in their weight loss journeys. It really is a privilege to be able to give back to the weight loss surgery community, and I thank you for all of your support.

Thank you Alex. My surgeon, his staff and the NUT were not there for us after surgery (they were great before surgery). Bariatric Pal was a life saver, thanks to you.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
