My surgery weight was 320lbs

I had to deal with major complications/ 4mm stricture and ended up with a feeding tube in my old stomach for 3 months. I am fighting to keep my weight at 160lbs now. My surgery date was 2/26/14 a bit over 7months out now. Has anyone out there had to deal with a situation like this?

I am just getting started but I am curious what does your doctor say?

I started out at 332 pounds. I am a 5'2", 49 year old woman. I this morning I weighed 123 pounds. My surgery was on 7/25/2013, so I am approaching my 16 month anniversary. Currently my BMI is in the 'normal' range, so the doctors are not concerned. However, I am being very careful not to lose any more weight. I have A LOT of excess skin. I think my true weight if I had the skin removed would put me closer to the 100 - 110 pound range (I have excess skin on my belly, arms and legs). This would put me in an "underweight" BMI. I have had no complications at all, I have just followed my doctor's nutrition plan and exercise daily. I am very healthy and feel terrific. However, if I follow the plan too closely, my weight continues to drop and I think in order to stay healthy I need to keep my weight were it is - no matter what a doctor might tell me differently.

Good luck!

I'm glad your both ok now I am looking forward to loosing my weight, then maintaining my weight i Agee with the above statement you know how you look and how you feel despite if your doctor wants you to loose additional weight, I believe you and your doctor should work together , but you know what's right for you.
