I'm 5'3" so pretty short. I started out before surgery at 229 pounds. And a BMI of about 42, I think. I'm only 8 weeks post surgery. My insurance is Anthem BCBS and they covered it 100%. I've lost 28 pounds.

I'm 4'11." Started this process at 229 with a BMI of 46. My actual highest recored weight in my medical record is 242 (BMI 49) about 3 yrs ago. I'm 7 months post op and doing great. Not quite sure what my ultimate goal will be but stated goal is what my doc said he thought I could get to. My insurance is a private plan through the hospital I work for.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
