The doctor said I am way ahead of where I should be at 3 months. 62% body fat is gone and I only have about 40 pounds left to go. I am very happy. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

At 6 week stall myself.

Since my 30 day, not my 90 day.

I had to have two of them before I left the hospital. They used it to check for leaks.

Really? Wow!

They put in large domes. I still seem to be having the same issue. I guess I need to go back to the VA as a walk in.

Mine came when I realized the woman who gave birth to me died (in her early 60s) and I found out I have the same things wrong with me that she had. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I can neither confirm nor deny that I do what you said I did. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

When you are called a kangaroo, sleever or a bander.

It was me. I thought that up. It really seemed like a good idea at the time. I received $10.4 Billion for that idea. I am sorry. I won't do it again.

Tomorrow I will be 3 months post op from my RNY surgery. On Monday the 16 I have my month checkup with my surgeon. It will be my first blood draw since the surgery and I am excited to see how they think I am doing and what my test results will be.

Congratulations my friend. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I have become addicted to My 600 Pound Life. I know that I was never that big but I compare my experience with RNY surgery to what they are going through. I know everyone's experience is different but I don't get some of these people.

Just got a return call from the VA. It seems that I need an adjustment due to the weight loss. I will be going to the walk in appoint tis done. I just hope they don't take my hearing aids and send them out. I have a very hard time hearing (mostly female voices) without them.

Congratulations!

I didn't tell my parents that I had the surgery. My wife spilled the beans while I was in the hospital. The first thing out of my dad's mouth was, "I didn't realize you were that big." I wasn't that big, I had it done because the woman that gave birth to me dropped dead of a heart attack at a relatively early age. She had the same issues that I had (high BP, high cholesterol, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression) when I had the RNY surgery. I can completely understand your not wanting to tell your mom.

My surgeon recommended the RNY to me. I was not a candidate due to my BMI only (BMI was only 35), but with my sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, GERD, and diabetes he said it would benefit me greatly. I do regret it. I regret that I didn't do it sooner. There are days when it is difficult but I am so happy that I had it done. I am 12 weeks post op and I am completely off the insulin (only taking 250 mg of Metformin twice daily), off the blood pressure medication, off the cholesterol medication, off the omeprazole and the pressure on my CPAP machine has been turned way down. I have lost almost 60 pounds and I feel great.

I don't think I have lost any friends. It sounds to me like your friend has the problem. Even though it is hard to lose a friend, you need to surround yourself with positive support. Sorry you lost your friend.

Thank you. That helps a lot. I called the VA and left a message at the clinic. Hopefully they call back tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

<------- Uninformed.

If you have worked with your doctor on weight loss then that is a weight loss program. You doctor needs to submit that you have worked with them over the years on weight loss program.

Oh you CHEEKY MONKEY.
