I'm 21 months post op and had been averaging around 120-125 lbs. In the last month or two I've gained about 5-7 lbs. I know it's all on me because of my emotions. We moved from a very comfortable...
I am glad to have found this thread, I am about 13 1/2 months out. I am a little over 5' 3" tall and have lost about 80 lbs total (including one week pre-op diet. After my six month weigh in,...
Of course I'd advise you to call your surgeon's office and ask them but I had this problem too and asked my surgeon at my 6 month follow up. He told me that he thought it was ketosis (sp), when your...
Congratulations Bob! You made it!!!! I know it was not easy but you've proven it can be done! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us!
Thanks! Im very excited!
General Settings, Edith Signature, then I typed them in myself.
Oops, I meant to reply with a quote to you but I ended up replying to my post instead. I've attached 3 pictures. One in October before I cut my hair and two after. I'll have to look for a before...
Yes, the head is the hardest place to fix. I think I've come a long way now. :D
In the last 10 lbs I do have some loose skin on my arms, legs, butt, under my chin, and of course, my tummy. Not enough anywhere to have surgery except maybe the chin and definitely the tummy. I'm...
Hi everyone! Just thought I'd better check in on here and update how I'm doing. I began my VSG journey in January of 2013 and had already been swimming and doing water aerobics for about 9 months...
Sounds good to me too! LOL
Congrats! That's wonderful and gives us all hope!
I'm certainly not used to it after the last almost 2 months but I have a feeling this may last a while after gallbladder surgery. Some tell me about 6 months and my younger sister (had hers out at...
Hopefully it all works out for you soon. May need to go shopping again and change styles, I've had to switch to juniors for my pants because otherwise the butt and thighs on misses are huge, it's...
I have not found out exactly why this happens only that it is very common for WLS patients. Im hoping the symptoms dont last for years like it did for my sister 25 years ago. :/
On the good...
I've been having issues with diarrhea and had an ultrasound done last month. Yep, gotta have it out. :( Not what I was hoping for at all. I'd rather be doing the TT right about now!
Hi, I'm from South Carolina but don't live there now. My niece is considering VSG and she still lives there. Maybe I can encourage her to sign up for an account on here.
Good luck to you with...
I hand an ultrasound and I'm going to have to have my gallbladder removed. :( I'm scheduled for Jan 23, 2014 with the same surgeon that did my VSG. :) I think he is an excellent surgeon and plan...
After having an ultrasound I found out I have gallstones and will need to have my gallbladder removed. I am having the same surgeon do this one too. I'm glad to know what's going on but not...
I'm hoping to reach the midpoint of my BMI, about 120-122 but I'm so pleased with my results in this 5 months post op!
I weight myself everyday too. I don't freak out if I gain a lb but I like the accountability.
Sorry you have to wait another 7 days for the drain to be removed. Glad you seem to be healing well and feeling better tho.
I hope to know that feeling one day. LOL. I never had my surgeon tell me to weigh every day but I do it anyway. I don't get discouraged when the scale doesn't move but I think it helps motivate...
I called my PCP who said there is a stomach bug going around lasting about 5 - 7 days and suggested I call the surgeon's office to see if imodium is ok to take and to see if it could be surgery...
