Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I participated in the group. I had WLS (RNY) back in. 04/02/2012, had a baby in 09/02/2014. Initial WT 260 Reached WT 135 Current WT 185 I been feeling a little discourage because of this this plateau that I had hit and seem not to be able to get control of my WT again. I feel that I stretch my pouch but that hopefully is not too late to restored. So I been considering to do the 5 days pouch test but I want to learn about some of you guys that had already done it. - Do you really restore your pouch to normalcy? - How much wt you can lose during this 5 days? If any! TIA! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I'm 6 month post sx, I had lost 100lbs want to lose 30lbs more. Starting wt was 270lbs CW 170lbs, and I been wonder about cosmetic sx. I know is to early to star thinking about it but I'm anxious about the possibility of getting a tummy tuck, a breast lift and a possible butt lift, so my ? Is have one of you been approved by BCBS for any cosmetic surgery? And if so what they pay and how you got it approve? Regards

Initial wt 270 CW 155lbs 9 months post op Sx date 04/02/2012 Yay!! Congrats to all of us!!

Hi everyone! So today is my 9 months post-op DOS 04/02/2012 Initial WT 270 CW 155lbs. I'm doing great so far, can't complaint about ANYTHING cuz everything has been an amazing journey with off course its ups and downs but so damn worth it! When I started my journey I didn't know that I was gonna be able to reach my ideal wt of 130-140lbs. I'm very positive that by my surgyversary I will be on that ideal wt but if not I'm gonna keep on going with my goal until I reach it! I'm gonna attached some pictures so you guys can see the after sx body. I'm planning to do plastic surgery hopefully on 2014 will see how my pocket will be by then lol. Congrats to all of us for such a tremendous courageous way to say I'M tired of been unhealthy and I'm ready for a life change!!!

Omg hi Panda! I do remember you as well! Yeah we were wks apart. How you been? You look great! You know what, the only thing that I noticed is that unfortunately I been getting obsess in loosing wt, like I wanna loss more. Like basically EVERYONE that knows me keep telling me "hey don't loss any more lbs you look great and etc" but inside myself I'm not completely happy where I am! Like I really wanna be 130lbs (it might sound stupid/cocky) but its how I feel, and what I want! And I'm constantly scare of gaining wt! So this is the only down part of my process that I'm getting obsess with my wt! LOL But hey I guess it's a good thing overall....

Thanks! I'm 5'6"...you'll be fine, just follow your MD instructions and you'll do good

Thanks! Yes I'm going to be very careful with my selection if plastic surgery as far asMD, procedure wise and etc. I'm very proud of my wt loss and I still wanna loss more so I will see how far I can go and off course I'm more interesting into keeping the wt off

Thanks!

Hi! That is correct, we had worked hard on this! So I'm looking to have a total body lift (tummy tuck, breast lift with possibly implants, tights, and probably my arms if they look bad on 130lbs but so far they look okay (not scary looking lol). My tummy is the worst so far but is NOT that bad either so I'll see what my budget will get me to do! I'll keep y'all post it

Yeeeeesssss!!!! I used to be hot all the time prior to RYN and now I'm cold ALL the time like is crazy lol!!!

Yes I was 10 now I'm 9 and sometimes 8 1/2 it's amazing. I'm 8 months out 110lbs less

Initial wt 270lbs Current weight 164lbs DOS 04/02/2012 I been stuck in this CWT but I don't care as long as I don't gain I don't mind plateauing for a while

I'm excited!!! This sx has been a blessing!

Hi everyone! INITIAL WT 270lbs CWT 163lbs HT 5' 6" My goal WT is 130 - 140 so I'm committed to get there hopefully by next year????????

Hello, So it finally happened I'm 6 months post-op and I had lost 100lbs it's unbelievable!! I'm so proud of myself!!! And there's more to come! I'm starting to think about cosmetic sx (I know is early) but I'm just too excited about it! Initial wt 270lbs CW 170lbs Goal is 140lbs Height 5'6"

Thanks all of you for your input!! I guess I'll continue doing what I been doing and told to do! I'll keep you all post it, but after I post this I had lost 2lbs AMEN!!!

Hi everyone, So I been plateauing for the last month and it just seem to be stuck, so I talked to one of the MDs I work with and she told me that perhaps I'm not getting enough calories, or I'm building muscle and retaining Water due to me exercising much lately. So my question will be any other suggestio? Thanks

Hi everyone! So I had definitively hit a plateau, I been 175lbs for a month now, it's kind of discouraging but I'm hoping I'll star losing lbs again and SOON!!! I'm doing the same thing eating right and had increase my exercise routine. This is the first time I had plateau after 5months of my surgery day. Any suggestions ill take the advice thanks

Wow everyone looks great! That's me 5 months out and plateauing lol
