Really, Monique. Easier than a Dentist vist. Should be for you too as long as you don't have complication

Pack light ! I had RY and was out in 20 hours, walked a quarter mile to my car and drove home, easy as pie ! Good luck !

I'm in Long Beach, I am 15 months post op , attend weekly support group at Kaiser Permanente friday evenings in Downey, KEEPS ME ON TRACK ! Having Panniculectomy tomorrow for being soooo good !!!!!!

Very inspirational story. love to here this narative, I hope I can show your dedication !!!! THANK YOU DLCoggin

I started ob protein bars about 3 months out but could probably have started sooner

I had problem too. Don't worry a little over a year out and I drink almost 200 oz. a day !

Great advice, I increased my protein to about 120 grams a day and I seem to have stabilized at 170 lbs. Still keeping calories at 1000 a day or less though.

I avoid both places, I AVOID being near bread. Fellow patients, we don't need or should we consume bread anymore ( said the VERY successful patient )

CHEW>>>CHEW>>>>CHEW like never before and swallow tiny bits each time. Non-dailey bowel movement is VERY NORMAL, remember that you are not taking in the volume of food from your previousbigfatlife

eat peanut butter, lots of potato chips, never exercise....so easy to gain weight

Just order 2 more pounds from ebay 9 only $18 ! )

BE VERY SKEPTICAL of this OTC "supplement", It definitely seems to over promise, CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR !

Saggy cheeks here :-( , many do not recognize me either, but that is a good thing as I didn't enjoy morbid obesity :-)

MEEEE, I'm in Long Beach, right off the 605 freeway !

You will envy these early days !!!! Just hope you don't get into chips and real milk shakes and show -0- weight loss 12 months from now. Your capacity will increase, don't push it too fast or your capacity will increase fast as well as your inability to lose weight, patience

Just let your shakes set for a few minutes, the foam will dissipate, then you can enjoy your masterpieces

I drink, 1/4 caf ! and it tastes like full strength, real coffee and 1% milk, 10 CUPS A DAY !!!!

1% MILK works for me, no problem

Look, no magic here. You've put on weight because you are taking ion more calories than you burn...THE TRUTH. Exercise every day, eat healthier, eat less...FACT. You at least have the tool of the surgery which absorbs less of what you eat and less true stomach hunger. Two months out after revision is nothing, keep on a diet, keep working out.

Please be patient , John. it can take up to two years for long time Type II patients to get well clear of high blood sugars (so says my Doctor ). Keep exercising , loose more weight, keep exercising ....repeat, YOU WILL BEAT IT !!!!

80% less protein??? SO SORRY, I meant 80% less calories & FAT, it has ALL the protein

INCREDIBLE !!! I have a hernia repair this June then , the skin removal this August My Doctors said that I was a good boy.

OMG ! you were a fat pig, but not as fat a pig as I You are totally normal now, in fact hot ! ( I have a 'Fat Pig' calling licence because I was a member myself )

RNY for me, hands down. I was a serious diabetic, now not at all., further the plumbing change means that you can't ever really get the stomach stretch of the sleeve patients because you have a stoma and not a sphincter exiting your stomach/pouch. also approx. 3 meter in total of small intestine is no longer used to absorb food so the same person eating the same things would lose more weight with the by-pass than the sleeve. See what I have done below, had my surgery July 2014.

I feel sorry for you, man ! I didn't realize such complications occurred so many years out from a very successful patient as you !
