Hi I am new to Bariatric Pal.

I am a almost a year and a half out from my surgery which was on June 13, 2014. So far I have lost 120 pounds from my highest weight of 309lbs which was in December 2013.

My stats are:

HW 309lbs

SW. 272lbs

CW. 189lbs

GW. 209lbs

I am 5 ft 9inches tall.

I went from a tight size 48 pants to a loose size 32.

I went from XXL shirt to a loose M shirt.

At first I was stressed out because I thought I was loosing weight too slowly. Now I am happy that I did. I have very little sagging skin. I am almost toned. In this time I had a chance to really change my life style, eating and exercise habits. I took what I thought was a minus and changed it into a plus.

For those you who are worried because you think you might be loosing too slowly, well maybe you are.

Still remember these things take time and make a commitment to your goals. You will reach your goals if you give the process enough time.

I had my surgery at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. My surgeon was Dr. Rivas. The surgery costs were astronomical. Fortunately I had reached my out of pocket maximum for the year so the pretesting, surgery and post care cost me nothing. My insurance company is Covered California Anthem Blue Cross. Yes that's Obama care.

Thanks!

Help! I am being spammed by this site. I didn't sign up to be spared. If anyone could help me stop the emails that would be helpful. I tried finding an option to stop the email but all I found was a setting to stop notifications which I disabled yet I am still spammed with emails. I now wish I hadn't posted. I am having a bad experience with this site.

You aren't being spammed. You signed up to receive email notifications on posts. At the bottom of the email there should be a way for you to stop receiving them.

      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...

      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?

      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
