Unfortunately, it took a serious health scare (my heart stopped in ICU) and my mother and father in-law passing from cancer to take my heath seriously. I had the sleeve done June 2014. High weight 254 day of surgery 234. I’m maintaining in the 130’s.

There is no secret to bariatric weight loss. Follow your plan. Learn the basics. log in an app, hydrate, exercise/activity. If you gain call your team. Never be afraid to ask for help.

@Healthy_life2

hey bud - are you referring to recent heart prob? or talking about from earlier?

if answer is you just had the "issue" so very sorry. (or earlier too) very sad -

hope you are ok now? Improving?

too many OP take their health for granted. Don't go to PHP at all, or not enough. Since some

OP don't go to doc/normal check-ups, they don't know if they have developed diabetes/high blood pressure etc.😒

Unfortunately for various health probs that i've always had - i am able to be forewarned by the doc "if something is developing" (see my general doc too often

for checkups)

50+ years ago, as i turned into a teenager, my mom always "mentioned" i need to loose weight.

mom and i both referred to my appearance (vanity reasons) to loose weight.

It took many years to realize my health was getting worse, and worse! that's why i needed to,(not for my appearance only, but for my health -must loose the weight Kept yo yoing like OP,

finally one month before I turned 58 years old - i was sleeved. Now am 65 years YOUNG!!

i love proudly yelling that after weighing 235 lbs DOS - like you, i will fluctuate the 130ish range too.

7+ years PO - maintaining - still cute as a button🤣

your advise to newbies et al, is as usual great. reader beware/listen to @Healthy_life2 wise words!!

Love your pics - lookin' beautiful in your LBD (little black dress!) keep on keeping on. Keep responding, writing your posts. We all love to hear from you

finally - ALL of us must take a page from @Healthy_life2 book - watch your

body/ take care of yourself of yourselves - your life depends on it!!

Who loves you baby?? 😉

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
