WOW! I am so sorry to hear these kinds if stories... I had my surgery 2004 august 15. head hunger was very hard for me... I've lost 150 pounds... I'm still at goal. I lost my weight so quickly that I now have rhuematoid arthritis... I stay active. I refuse the medications because it causes lymphoma... no thanx to that... I take herbs.. I had a weight loss buddy. she didn't fair so well with the surgery. she ate food she should not have and got really sick... she had to get the surgery revised.... I have a lot of family that had the surgery when I did.... they have all gained around 25 pounds back... I gain I lo [ATTACH]40184[/ATTACH] se... it never stays... gaining a little back is pretty normal. I wish all you guys success. I'm glad you are all here to share your experiences with others...♡♥♡♥♡

I will be 50 in July had my RNY in 2004... best decision I ever made.... still at goal... life is freaking great... [ATTACH]40124[/ATTACH]

looking good

sounds about normal to me... the weight gain that is...I actually gain from 10 to 15 pounds here and there, but for some strange reason I lose it all. the depression needs to be addressed... I can see why you get a little down.... we don't want to gain a pound... I'm a 10 year vet. so keep your head up and no matter what keep it moving somehow... good luck

I've been out out 10 yrs...gbs.... I know u r excited... every BODY is different.... no one on the face of this earth really, knows you... better than you... I've always been a mover even when I was at my largest... its so exciting to finally see the scale go down... relax... keep moving... but enjoy the downscale... we get so involved wih the decrease... we don't see the increase... its not about that 20' ish figure.. its about our health... regaining stenghth... defeating obesity... sleep apnea... high blood pressure. diabetes. only god knows what else.... relax ..enjoy...keep up the good work... but take time out just for YOU. YOU made the decision to take the chance...YOU made the decision to take the risk... YOU made the decision TRY... U DID IT... WORK FOR A HEALTHIER YOU... BUT ENJOY EVERY FREAKING MOMENT....BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU'LL BE 10 YEARS OUT... AND YOU'LL STILL BE AT GOAL....♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥ [ATTACH]40106[/ATTACH]

thank you guys... I appreciate and respect your comments... its true, its sad to see a life end for any reason... but because of what ppl are going to say.... senseless... ppl are going to talk about you anyway...big or small... I hope my weight loss does encourage others... that is very important to me... [ATTACH]40077[/ATTACH]
