First let me say this has been a wonder decision for me and I have no regrets at all.
That said....
I am about 5 years post op and have gone from 352 pounds to my current weight of 216 pounds.
I have gone from a size 50 jeans to a size 32. Awesome!
In addition In 2012 I had a full tummy tuck with good results.
My issue is that I have a hard time eating anything and this is causing nutritional issues as well as impacting energy to exercise as I wish not to mention energy just for daily activity.
I have never been able to eat steak or anything like it post op, but for the past 2 years or so even Water can be an issue. Soups and Protein drinks have become a primary food and I have issues with it as well. I hug the toilet everyday because food will not go down. I have recently had to add b12 to get my levels back to mid range. I have no Fluid in my band and am really starting to think action may have to be taken at a more significant level. Looking for thoughts.....
