Hello. I'm 5ft 3 in and am down to 117 from 242. I'm almost 2 years post op. About a year after surgery I reached my goal of 130 and maintained that for over 6 months. Around X-mas time I got a...

I guess I have a lot of gallstones, but have no symptoms of any pain or discomfort. Do they resolve themselves?

Hey Sally! If my math is correct, your average weight loss is almost 4 pounds a week. That is freaking awesome! I'm almost 6 months out and weight loss has gotten pretty slow too....but, that...

How freaking exciting!!!!!! Congrats on a huge milestone!

It is totally normal! I had so many regrets for the first few weeks. I was sore, tired and miserable. It feels like torture, but it gets better quickly! You will be on the other side soon. I...

Ahhhhhhh.....thank you everyone. Now I am crying from all of your kind words. It has been such a journey and I still have a little way to go, but I wouldn't change it. It's weird to look at myself...

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it too!

I also a tummy binder and it helped a lot! There is no harm in speaking to your Dr. at any time during this process. I hope you are on the up side soon! Good luck!

Hiya UK peeps! I'm an American living near Cambridge and had my surgery in London on August 21st of 2011. It was the best decision I've ever made!

Awesome!

I had the same thing happen to me! It took about 5-6 weeks for the pain to resolve. It was terrible, but I think a little of it was my fault. I drove too early, cleaned the house, lifted my kids,...

If I had an hour to eat every meal, then I may be able to fit a whole egg in there! But, due to 3 kids, one with Autism,and an energetic lab...that doesn't happen very often!!! I usually only have...

I feel really good. I do have some heartburn and still have to take a Prilosec everyday, but it works like a charm! I've just started to have a little more hair loss than usual, but I have a thick...

Thank you everyone! This forum is a huge reason why this has been successful for me. It has given me support, made me laugh, cry, shout and beam with pride. It's nice to have people who truly...

Hello All! I'm sorry I haven't been as frequent on the boards as I used to be, but life has been keeping me busy...in a good way! I still read a lot of posts everyday and check on everyone. Wow,...

Hello! What an amazing time for you. I remember when I was making the decision too. I just hit my 16 week post op mark and am down about 67 pounds. I'm not going to tell you about my surgery,...

I had the exact same thing happen. Stabbing pain on my right side and it lasted about 5-6 weeks. I had to go to the Dr. and had a CT scan to rule out anything too serious. Basically, I had pushed...

Congratulations! How amazing for you. I can't wait to be farther out and feeling like that. Keep us posted...you are so inspiring!

I used sippy cups a lot in my liquid stage....they travel well and limit how much u can take in at a time!!!!

OMG I love this thread! My husband acts like I'm going crazy! I've had the heat cranked up and have been using a heating pad. I'm freezing all the time!!!!I sleep in fleece pants, sweat shirts and...

Today is my 10 week surgiversary and I'm down a little over 50 pounds. I started out as a tight size 20 and 1X tops and now can squeeze into a 14 and wear medium tops! I can't believe...

Fantastic! I bet that was a fun shopping trip!!!

Dr. Patel is amazing. He did an excellent job and has a great nurse as well. I live near Cambridge, so the drive to London wasn't too bad. I had my surgery at Kings on a Sunday and was home on a...

Fabulous!!!! What an inspiration you are!
