Hello everyone! I'm quite new here, so forgive me for being such a noob lol. Is there an appropriate forum for old-timers? I had my surgery 1-7-2004, and I started at 445 pounds, and today I have maintained 230 for the past 2 years. My lowest weight during the process was 150 which was way too thin. My ideal desire is to maintain 180. I'm 6ft tall and look great at that weight. I am having some specific issues and was not sure if there was a good place to discuss those? I hope you are having a terrific Saturday, and thanks very much! Brick Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App

Well thank you all so much. In a nutshell, here are my issues Because of my surgery and distal versus proximal, I am left with surgically induced hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, and with some of the "safest" foods I have the worst reactions, my blood sugar is forced way down, and I have been known to black out. This has been going on for years, and as a result I am forced to eat extremely low carb foods 24 hours a day. One might think that that's good for a person that's undergone this procedure. However, over the last few years it has caused me to regain weight. For the longest duration of my post-surgical. For years I maintain 180 pounds Faithfully. However now here I sit at 230 pounds, and yes I am no longer gaining but I can't lose either. It's very frustrating to say the least. Has anyone else had any experience with this kind of issue?

Hi, thank you so much for the reply. Honestly, I have been searching all throughout the forums and I can't find that area. I found ones for specific ages of people, but not for time since surgery. If you know a roundabout way I can find it, that would be wonderful. Thanks so much again. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App
