So I am 5 years 4 months post op and I got down to my goal weight and then about 2 years ago I started getting my cravings back and started giving into them and started putting the weight back on, I have since gained about 55 lbs back and I am very discouraged, and feel awful. I had a great surgeon that did my surgery, and since my surgery he has left and moved across the country and I trusted him and felt good with him, so after he left I started seeing another doctor in the practice he was in and do not like him, don't feel comfortable with him and so since about a year after my surgery I haven't been back? He didn't seem interested in knowing how I was doing or my progress so I didn't go back, and just kept doing it on my own, but now I am this far and gained weight and I am not happy with myself and I am back to where I was prior to surgery, except I can't eat as much, and as many things. I have made steps in seeing another doctor that a friend of mine referred me to, she goes to this other doctor and she loves her, and so I am going to meet with her and see how I feel. I am nervous that I have stretched out my stomach and I don't know what they can do for that? I am so disappointed in myself, cause I did so good for 3 years and kept it off, and I felt so good, and now these past 2 have just been down hill? Does anyone know if you stretch out your pouch do they do or will they do a revision? Also does that help with the cravings?

Hello everyone!!!! It's been a while since I have been on here, just been going through a lot in my life, but on the up side, I am fully at my goal and am not recovering from skin removal surgery after getting down to my goal, I am super happy that I am for the first time down to a healthy weight, but I finally feel good too. I mean as good as I can after having this surgery almost 2 weeks ago, but I feel good, and on the road to recovery.

Am just amazed how great I feel. Being at my goal weight is a great feeling. I go shopping now and still feel like I should be wearing larger cloths, but I tried on a Medium top today and it was perfect., and to think I was going to just buy a large??? LOL

Yeah I know what you mean, I wouldn't settle just cause I wasn't loosing. I decided on the bypass because when I was talking to my doctor he was trying to get me to do the sleeve, and he said if I don't loose all the weight and or it didn't work for me I could still go through and have the bypass? So at that point I was like why am I going to put myself through all that and so I just went straight for the final product and got the bypass. I am not going to go through one surgery and then have to have another one cause I couldn't loose all the weight on the first one? That was not my deal. I am very happy with my outcome, not everyone has the same outcome though, so just cause I did doesn't mean anything? I just really stuck to it and got to where I am now and I still stick to it. I have my little slips here and there but the sugar is out of my life forever. I don't mess around with that, I hate how it makes me feel and I don't want to deal with that?
-
Thanks for that insight. I knew that with the bypass that sugar was out forever for most bypass people and I had tortured myself with the Atkins plan long enough to realize that saying no to certain things is not up my alley. I have to be able to slip without it making me sick, I mean I still get sick with fish, bread and oil, but a finger down the throat seems to do it most times. When I was on Atkins, I gave up sugar and when I got off, I needed it like a crack head. That wasn't the route for me and the bypass wasn't and probably still isn't. I just wish I had the motivation to get all of my weight off like I started off with. I lack motivation. I haven't gained an ounce, but stuck at where I left off due to lack of motivation. I think it will come back when I have had enough, just not there yet and still going through a lot of employment stresses doesn't help either. Can't wait to get my head in the game again!
-
You will get there, just don't let yourself go back to where you were, cause then the motivation really won't be there? I have been lacking motivation lately too, I don't know why, I don't go to the gym anymore, I don't get out and walk I go home from work and just want to crawl into bed and stay there for the night? Im not depressed or atleast I don't feel it, I just am always tired lately? I don't know what is wrong with me and but I did just go to my thyroid doctor and she upped my meds and that is making me feel wicked hungry the past few days but that is cause the meds are making my matabolism ramp up? I am wondering if that is why I am tired too though? I don't know. Bypass isn't for everyone and the whole sugar thing I am actually happy about cause that was my biggest issue? So now I just don't even bother going near it. I can have a small small bite but nothing bigger?

So tomorrow is my appt with a plastics doctor, lets see what they say about getting me all fixed up!!!

Call your insurance company and ask them what the requirements are to have it done!!! If it's a medical necessity they need to cover it. Like what I want done, the skin folds over and I get yeast infections, and sores under the folds so that is why I want it done, and it could become open sores so that would make it a medical necessity. I will say that what I want done is only $4000, so if my insurance were to not pay for it, I would save up the money and pay for it out of pocket!!!
-
Wow, I just am in awe at how much I have done in 1 year, and so proud of myself with sticking to it!!! I am now down 119 lbs and just can't be a happier person!!!

@BladeFox, been a long time girly, glad to see your still here!!! Yeah I thought zumba was going to hurt my knees too, I was very nervous about taking the class just because of that, but I wore my knee brace and it turned out ok!!! I am going to try to keep going, but I need to find other things to do too!!! The instructor was great, and totally stayed on beat with the music!!!
-
LMAO, I am sure you did, that is mean a playroom full of Games not fun!!!
-
Going to my first Zumba class tonight!!! I can't wait!!
-
@@My Bariatric Life LMFAO, My husband went too and he didn't like the movie either, but he totally would be having blue prints made if I said I want a playroom!!! I definitely have always wanted one too, with all the sex furniture and swings and all that fun stuff, it just makes everything more interesting!!! You only have one life why not have fun in it too!!!

I didn't like the actor for christian and I also heard that he wasn't going to be in the sequels that his wife wasn't happy with him doing this movie, and so he won't be doing the sequels, but as for the actors that they were considering I though Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller from Sons Of Anarchy) He was my first choice to play christian, now HE is HOT!!!! Jamie not so much to me!!!
-
LMAO, they get into it but they don't get into it, like he asks her what she will and won't do and gives her a list of the things that he likes and she says no to about half of the crazy stuff, and won't be gagged but she says yes to the stuff I would find normal. I haven't read your post True Love? but I think if you like some of this stuff you would like the books!!! They have a story behind it and it's not all about BDSM, there is more to it than just that.
-
@@lexiemustang, you really should read the books, they are so much better!!! The movie totally did not compare at all!!!
great job keep it up!
