2 years 8 months out. Doing good. Reached goal last August. I still have in the back of my mind the twenty pound weight gain they say will / can happen at the two or three year mark.. I weigh weekly so I can stay on top of that situation..

28 Months out and 110 lbs down and stable weight and healthy, but I still have major pain if I eat even a little too much food. Tonight I had 3 oz of sea bass and later had a small apple sliced but now I'm in a lot of pain. It is all good I knew what I signed up for. Really this saved my life, but sometimes the pain from a little over eating gets me down.

Same. My surgeon has repeatedly told me to expect the 15-20 lb. regain. (I'm 13 months out). He says it is rare for a WLS patient to remain at his/her lowest weight. When I get sad about this, he always answers "but if I could have guaranteed you a surgery that would cause you to lose 70 lbs. wouldn't you still be happy?"

        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!!
