Yes, I did but it never showed anything abnormal I believe..

I am doing better, thanks guys. seems the meds worked but my issue is my surgeon's office refused to see me when I went for the follow up. They said, I need a new referral but never told me that when we made this appointment 3 months prior so I was not able to be seen. I feel better tho and I think i'm ready to go back to my doctors in my Kaiser network since the outside providers are so wishy washy.

I just started the Carafate this week but I have also began to sleep in my recliner and haven't had any overnight issues, seems the reflux has even lessened. Could be because I haven't eaten much also. I will keep u posted. Doc says give it a month to see the recovery.

At 4 Months and almost 2 weeks out, down 78 lbs. From 18/20 down to 10/12.

When u can literally see it for yourself!!! Size 18/20 down to 10/12. Surgery date: 4/23/14 hw: 290, sw: 282(corrected), cw: 212.

Ok guys back for a quick check in. Glad to see everyone doin so well! Here's my update...Surgery 4/23, weighing 282 and I thought it was 277 but either way, my highest was 290 and fluctuated between 275-285 before surgery with my food funerals. Currently at 218, loss of 72. It has been a slow crawl because of ME, I don't track Protein as much because I'm just trying to eat most days. I don't get in my Water as much either. I miss my Vitamins, Calcium and B12 often, I hate pills!! I thought I could just deal with it but the more normal I felt, the less I took. I never miss the protonix for reflux, I live by those but they don't really work...need something stronger. Please don't do anything mentioned above. I have never felt so weak and sick to my stomach ever! My bones pop and crack and make a me hurt as of recent. Causes me to put off my workouts, I could have lost more as I'm a workout buff but lately, no energy, sore body and sickly tummy are making me go back to basics. Tracking, water, counting, pills and workouts! Lastly my reflux has almost ended my life on numerous occasions. I now get a buildup in my throat that chokes me half to death every night. I wake up choking on Fluid and have to really manipulate my breathing to not choke to death. I have an emergency Upper GI scheduled for tmrw and after that a possible endoscopy. Keep u posted! What's your update?????

When u use to pray to squeeze into a 18 but now you're giving away clothes from 22- 16's. Its a good feeling but frustrating also...gave away 4 full boxes and have 1 box to keep. Need a shopping spree...ASAP!!!

Ohhhh thanks...that must be it. I always forget those..

I guess I'm cheating a bit because I will eat fries if I want but only cause I can only eat about 4-5...so I say splurge but I'm no doc! Lol I notice I have no food restrictions, just portions. I can only eat a lil bit so I get as much Protein as possible with fun foods. I workout and lose consistently these days but I'm only 3 months out and 51 lbs down so we will see what happens....good luck all!

Hey guys, almost 3 months out and down 51 lbs. I love the compliments I get from most but hate when people say I look sick or awww what's happening? I never hide my decision, I'm very proud so I still smile. Its only around 50 pounds, it's not that freaking drastic... Anyway, I officially have 4 boxes of some really great clothes to give away some things were even brought after surgery and yet..they're done! I got a raise at work and a different relationship with my supervisor who is deathly afraid of surgery and calls me survivor! Husband just moved us outta the city and brought a new car....so I'm feeling as good as in looking. My mom's questions of the surgery caused us to mend a long time rift. Thank God she came to the hospital. Overall, I can eat more but it's still very little but more manageable to me, I'm not a stickler for any particular diet or workout but I do both sparingly but I am more physically active then ever and I even run now. Its been a long almost 3 months for me since 4-23....how are u all doing??

Wow, how far out are u?

Yessssss! Nice!!

You should model!!

Did u have any problems getting prego before the surgery?
