    Re: how much did you lose/do you expect to lose?

    I had my surgery 10 months ago and have lost 39 pounds. I was 279 when I had the surgery amd am 239 now. I take @28 pills a day and several of them cause weight gain. So, I am not typical.

    Temporal Mandibular joint--The joint just below your ear. It becomes irritated and you feel like you have a severe toothache in all the teeth on that side of your mouth. I hope you never get it.
