Yes and I'm thrilled I had it done! Very little pain after surgery.

Hi all! I had my gastric bypass October, 2013 and am down 260 pounds! I'm thrilled with the new me! I'm very strict with myself and take all my Vitamins and supplements every day. However, I fell hard during our last snow storm and broke my left femur in FIVE places above my knee! I now have a plate, rod, and 9 screws in my leg and am off work recovering. I would hate to think what it could have been. So, the bypass surgery does weaken bones. Be careful out there! I now have physical and occupational therapy coming to my house to strengthen my arms and legs but it really sucks!

Great job!!

Beautiful lady!!

Great job! You are beautiful! Wishing you all the best and have fun shopping for all those new, cute clothes! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I drink the EAS Advantage protein shakes. They're pre-made and you just grab one out of the refrigerator and go. I've been chewing gummy vitamins called Biotin for hair, skin and nails. That helped my hair loss. You look wonderful!!

I couldn't eat meats for almost a year. I can eat any meats or fish now. I had my surgery October, 2013 and am down 260 pounds and at goal.

I had my RNY October, 2013 but am fairly new to the boards. I'm down 260 pounds and at goal! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Wow! Beautiful lady!

Way to go! I know that feeling! Keep up the excellent work! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

Hi. My HW was 409, SW was 370 and my CW is 150. I'm 4'11". I feel great!

. Thank you, James! I know what you mean about less padding now! I like your idea about the ice spikes! I'm going to look at Amazon for some!

. Thank you!

I had gastric bypass in October, 2013 and started at 409 pounds. I'm now 150 and am having my arms done 12/22. I'm so excited but nervous. I feel great!

Haslett, Michigan!

I'm really excited. The surgeon said recovery is about two weeks but many go back to work after a week, depending on how they feel. ????

Hi all! My bariatric surgeon said I was at goal so I'm thrilled with that. I've lost 89% of my original body weight! Yay! My plastic surgeon has scheduled my arm surgery (bye bye bat wings) for 12/22/15! I'm so excited. I've been researching pain levels and recovery times and everyone says it's not that bad. If anyone has had their arms done, I'd be interested in hearing the details. Thanks so much! ????????????❤️❤️❤️

I'm always cold too, but now I'm getting hot flashes so it's a new adventure in body temperature. Lol

I had RNY 10/13 and three fingers on my right hand were numb for two months then all of a sudden they were fine. Lol. Looking forward to seeing your journey. I started at 409 and am now 148. My surgeon said I'm at goal! ????

Hey everyone! I have had a weight issue my entire life. I've tried so many diets and nothing worked for an extended period of time. My health was deteriorating and I needed to do something serious. My RNY surgery was October, 2013 and it's the best thing I could have done for myself! I topped the scale at 409 pounds and I'm only 4'11". I had diabetes that was out of control, walked with a cane, had already had one knee surgery, and had a pinched nerve in my back and needed to take 800 mg of Motrin every night to even sleep. I also had reflux, which my surgeon fixed during surgery. It was caused by a hiatel (sp?) hernia. I had no life. I sat in the chair after work and needed help from my chocolate lab every time I needed to get up. I'd wrap my arms around her neck and she'd back up and help mama up. I was 45 and wasn't living. At my 2 week appointment after surgery, I was down 30 pounds. I've had an incredible support team between my husband, my family and my co-workers. It's been an incredible journey. I can do so many things now and am so grateful to my surgeon. I'm still losing now, but very slowly. My goal is 140 pounds. Almost there! Im down a total today of 261 pounds. ????. I do not eat bread of any kind, no Pasta, potatoes, fried food, sugar or soda. I eat fruit, veggies, Protein and will treat myself with sugar free candies when I want something sweet. I'm very strict with myself. My dad used to tell me, "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!" I lost my dad in January but I know he's cheering me on. I'm now off all my diabetes medication, all my reflux medicine and just on a Water pill and thyroid pill (plus all the daily vitamins). That's ok! I'll do vitamins! I hope I can help someone. Thanks for reading. ???? A current picture is below. It was taken at 150 and I'm now at 148. ????

You'll do great! Congratulations on the start of a whole new life! Wishing the best for you. ????

Thanks so much! I love hugs too! Hugs back! Keep on going you're doing great. ????????.

I like Atkins bars. High in protein and low in sugars. ????

Holy mackerel! Way to go! ????????????????????????
