Does it really take 2 years?

I know I shouldn't be in a hurry but I am reading on a lot of websites that it takes two years or people to reach their target weight as opposed to one year for people who got gastric bypass surgery on average. Has that been your experience? Any feedback would be great thanks. I also read that people with a higher BMI to start (mine is 51) will lose the wight quicker. Any insight would be great. Thanks!

I didn't read this as being rude! It's hard to read someone's tone via the internet. She was trying to be honest and encouraging..geeez.

Ive stopped posting on here because its not for me but I keep getting positive and negative replies. Again bad me! I can only move on frr here. Either we let it go and move on or i can keep getting replies. Im sure she appreciates your reply. Its always cpmforting when others do that for you! All the best again. I deeply apologize...my bad! Jeeze

@kinipela24, go into your account settings. On the far right, you'll see "Notification Settings." If you click on that and scroll down, you can disable email notifications. That way, you won't get a notification when someone posts. Every time someone responds, your topic will show up as a recent post in the forum, and others will keep responding as long as they are seeing it.

If you are walking away from BP in general, cutting off the email is the best way of separating yourself. You aren't allowed to delete your account; you aren't allowed to delete the post. At least if you don't get the emails, you can pretend as though BP doesn't exist.

Best wishes!

I sincerely apologize. Best of luck to all of you and thanks to those who gave me another chance to support me. It meant the world!

There's a lot of that going around.
