Just completed my 7th month visit with my surgeon, they usually do a 6th month visit but I was hospitalized at that time, a here's where I stand :

CW: 170 BMI: 30 Total loss: 75lbs

Labs: iron low- anemia rearing it's ugly head again, I will probably never get rid of it so back to infusions like I knew I would have to...

Surprise! very low b1-may need infusions as well, hematologist will tell me tomorrow.

I still believe it was wise I chose the sleeve over the RNY or I would probably have scurvy or beriberi by now lol

All other levels are great so that is a blessing. And apparently I stress too much over my progress and setting goals because I'm right where they expect me to be.

Wow, I’m 7 months out, but no where close to what you have done, I started at 385 and down to 255. Sometimes a little lower, jumping back and forth and having a stressful eating.

You have also lost alot in the same amount of time , stress eating must be tough. What is your goal?

Good job!! Im 6 months out. I also had low b1 and iron but it was at my 3 months appt. I got the bariatric advantage iron and b1 (which is hella expensive) but at my 6 month appt all my labs are back to normal! I just hit 80lbs down from surgery. Best decision ever.

I may look into specialty vitamins ?

You look great!

Well done and congrats!

You look great! Even with the minor issues you’re facing now I’m sure they pale in comparison to the life threatening obesity issues many of us could face if we didn’t have surgery! Great job on the weight loss.
