Just checking in. Surgery was 01.01.18 and as of this morning, down 85.4lbs. Unfreakinbelievable to me. Thats just crazy. I'm so happy I did this. I had to borrow from my 401k, but the way I see it I wont need my 401k if I'm dead from obesity, so totally worth it. Took out extra for a new wardrobe which I'm so glad I did because your old clothes become way too big way too quickly. I'm tempted to also sign up for Gwinnie Bee (clothing rental) but still deciding if that's too weird for me or not. Lol. My Bday is in approx 3 weeks so I am going to try to hit 100lbs by then. Possible but I will have to work hard for it.

@MsTipps Thank you so much for checking on me! I lost 3 lbs this week... so I'm down 39 in 12 weeks. Still on the slower side, but it's progress!

Also getting mighty close to the big 100lbs down since I started this journey 8 months ago. Would love to see that happen soon!

Over the course of a year that would be over 100lbs. That's awesome!!

I had my surgery January 25. All had gone very well, down 60 lbs since then. Recently, I developed an incisional hernia and am now scheduled to have the corrected on June 26th. Last night, while having dinner, I began to have severe stomach pains. I stopped eating, figuring it was indigestion. A few hours later, when the pain was increasing, and not subsiding, I went to the ER. I was admitted and they did every test they could, saying nothing conclusively. This afternoon, my surgeon was was able to see all the data from my work ups, and an emergency surgery was scheduled and completed at 4pm this afternoon. Turns out, in addition to my incisional hernia, I developed an internal hernia, that has caused my intestines to twist. That is why no matter the pain meds I was being given every 2 hours, the pain never subsided. Surgery was quick, about 30 minutes and the surgeon correct my intestines. Feeling 100 percent better right now. Hopefully going home tomorrow. It’s my second scare since the surgery, made me question my decision to even have it at all last night when I was going through that pain. My first scare was internal bleeding following surgery which required transfusions. But now that my surgeon has corrected these issues, I’m feeling much better and am chalking this up to just another possible complication with WLS. Just decided to post this as I feel WLS has its ups and downs. But trust in your surgeon and his decisions. Communicate with him and all should be ok. My surgeon gives you his email and phone number for easy access. Definitely an undervalued asset to have that I overlooked when choosing surgeons. Glad I went with one that makes himself available when needed.

Try not to let it get to you @janet5263 if you can. There’s a lot in this journey that you’ve overcome and this will pass too.

I never really saw the change until I did a side by side photo. I could always feel it in my clothes, but never knew.

      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?
