Hi things are going fantastic, I am down 51lbs since I started pre-op diet and 36lbs since surgery 7.5 weeks ago.

Thank you. I had an appointment yesterday and he said everything looks fine. The last couple of days I've started feeling a lot better. More good days than bad for sure from now on Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm following. I'm seriously considering the sleeve. Had band since 2008, never very successful. Probably my fault. Lost 60 gained 30. Never feel full only pain/restricted. With the sleeve, do you actually feel normally full/satisfied after the small meals?

Every insurance company is different so the only way to know if revision surgery is covered is for you to contact your insurance company directly. Unfortunately there is no set policy that we can provide confidence about. Good luck!

I wish you all the best and hope you get one soon.

My surgery was May 2nd so I'm right at 3 months out. I took one sip of a coke vanilla and I was in pain for over an hour from the carbonation. I'm Gastric Bypass. I can tell you that won't ever happen again. I can tell you one of my go-to items has been Diet Snapple Peach. I buy them in bottles and keep them handy along with soft ice from Sonics. Between those I have no problems meeting my liquid goal for the day.

My clothes have been hanging off and baggy. I decided to just suck it up and buy a few shirts and two pairs of jeans today. I fit into a size 16 jeans. I was a size 22!!! I fit into a size Medium shirt. A MEDIUM!!! From a 2XL - 3XL to Medium. OMG!!! YES.

You are SO right!!! Thanks for having my back!

Joni you and I could easily be twins on our journey. I stalled major at 9 months and was at 195 for the longest time. What I noticed was that when I stalled my body was in a change mode. It seemed like things kept shifting like the remaining fat didn't know where to settle. It SEEMED like one month I would have no butt and the next no boobs followed by a waist that seemed to thicken and thin. I started to take my measurements , wrist, forearm, upper arm, chest, waist, hips, upper legs, just above the knees, calves and ankles. I kept a diary and noticed that I was still losing inches even when I wasn't losing weight. That was 6 years ago. I did hit 170 and although I am 5'8.5" not really tall, I could see my ribs from collar bone to belly button. My boobs were like two pancakes and my butt the same. It was not very pretty. My husband was not happy but I thought I looked great in clothes,. Plus I was almost 60 and I just wanted to be thin for awhile. Over the years I have gained some weight, not a lot but enough to realize I need to get back on track. I also like to have a bit of wine now and then and love my cake but I found out that they are my trigger foodand love my cake but I realize now they are my "trigger foods" . I eat them and I want more carbs. So you have to decide if you want to have to decide if you want stay where you are or make your goal. I can almost promise you that to continue cheating before you have hit goal and maintained it for a good while you will begin to gain. Good luck my friend, it's never going to be easy but it's always an adventure.
