    Re: 5 yrs out

    OK, I haven't been on here for a long, long, time, but I have to reply to your # 7, I think it is. I weighed 291 lbs when I had surgery. I now weigh 139 lbs when weighing this morning. I have stayed...
  2. Re: Do most people decided to get their extra skin removed?

    Not for me. Can't afford it and after watching Skin Tight, don't have any desire. I have lots of sagging skin, but as others have said, I cover with clothes. I never wear short sleeves, always 3/4 or...

    Re: Guess I am going to have to...

    Melissa, I know where you are coming from. I had my surgery 10/12/2012. I am in the same mind frame as you are now. The first year I walked nearly every day. I also continued to lose weight even...

    Re: Staples

    That is how this surgery is done. they insert a "bougie" that creates the "sleeve" type stomach line. Then they cut and staple along that line. The excess stomach is then removed. There will be 5 or...
  5. Re: What's The Fastest Pre-Op Clearance Can Be Done?

    Yep, self pay is the quickest. I had my consultation on Sept 27th (2013) and doctor scheduled the surgery for Oct 24th. I already had my PCP letter and my release from my heart doctor. Did not have...

    Re: Good bye fat stores!

    Everyone's plan has something different, and some may have the same things on their plan. Mine consisted of 3 meals and 2 snacks. It didn't set calories, fat or carb daily goal. The plan didn't set a...

    Re: Saggin skin!

    I agree with this. Being over 300 lbs for most of my adult life, nothing will help the sagging skin short of surgery. Wraps may help temporarily but will not stay that way. I am 60 and there is...

  10. Re: MAINTENANCE - Challenges / Questions as We Transition from Losing to Holding Steady

    I stopped losing about the 17 month mark. I am 20 months out. I have gone up to 141, but mostly stay at 139. My food doesn't vary hardly at all. I am just that way. I can eat the same thing everyday...
  11. Re: I don't feel my bladder anymore...

    I don't get up at night time so much like used to. I can go longer without empting my bladder. This has been the case for a while now. I believe that now there is not as much fat in there and not...
  12. Re: Insurance versus self-pay: random thoughts

    You should feel very fortunate your insurance covered that much. I would be jumping up and down with joy if that is all I had to pay. I would have paid that off by now. I paid $12,000 and I still owe...
  13. Re: Attention: Slow losers!!! Please share your break through journey!!

    I weighed weekly, except at first. I waited 2 weeks after surgery. I read about how you may come out of hospital weighing more than the day of surgery, so I didn't want to see that. I have lost 151...
  14. Re: 6 mos does the hunger return? Gherlin

    I see this statement posted quite often, and I don't understand. My program never stated I would not get hungry. I do get hungry, but, I can say it is no where near the hunger I felt all these years....
  15. Re: Omg!! I can eat 2 eggs. Can anyone else eat 2 eggs....should i be worried?

    Me too. Have been eating 2 eggs + 4 oz of sliced strawberries since about 6 month mark.
  16. Re: yesterday's endoscopy shows sleeve not shaped correctly and a very poor job by Dr Quinones

    I have a question. How long ago did you have the sleeve surgery? Has that issue just come up or have you had the issue from the beginning? This kind of freaks me out, because I have the "fillipng"...
  17. Re: Looking for sleevers around the age of 60.

    I was sleeved right after my 60th birthday. I took 2 weeks off, not because I couldn't go back due to the surgery, I took off so I could learn how to eat and drink with my new stomach. I was cleaning...

    Re: worst part?

    The worst part was the constipation. I was terrified that if I strained too much that I would either make my incisions pop open or worse cause a leak. I still have issues with not being regular like...
  19. Re: Random thoughts and observations 9 months post op.

    LMAO! So funny but so true! Gave me a good laugh to start my day. The part about feeling like you are sitting on a book, now that is the best way to describe how it feels. I thought something was in...

    Ann, I always like your post! Regardless of whether you agree or dis-agree, you say it in a way that does not come off as offensive to that person's belief or way of doing things. None of us are...
