Nine months post op...how's everyone?



Recommended Posts

Hello my fellow September 2014 WLS folks! Let's talk progress.....

HW - 323

SW - 297

CW - 207

Total lost - 116 lbs! I started at a size 26 and I'm currently a size 14 (in "regular non-plus size" stores).

I am totally happy with my weight loss, but I can't wait to hit ONEderland! I had set a goal of being under 200 by my 40th birthday and I am not sure I am going to make it (I only have 4 days to go)! UGH... I know that I will get the soon, I'm just a bit disappointed ???? I just need to kick up my cardio and strength training!

How's everyone else?

Hi there!

I had my bypass on Sept. 26,2014

HW - 315

SW - 310

CW - 199

I hit Onederland last Monday and have been bouncing back and forth between 199 and 200 all week. I am looking forward to getting another 5 lbs down so I never have to look at that 200 number again.

I am recuperating from a serious spine surgery so I am on restriction from anything but walking and am up to a little over a mile a day until I can't take it anymore. Hopefully I will be able to extend to more this week. It's kind of a bummer because I was doing an hour of cardio every day prior to this little set back. Makes me feel like I am back to 310lbs, I get so tired and sore. However, I will not let it get the best of me.

I have 34 lbs to go to get to goal and I can see that light coming closer all the time!

Having this bypass gave me my life back! And other than my spine I am the healthiest I have been since my mid 20's! No more comorbitities!

Woot, woot!

@@Djmohr - great job!! You and I have lost the same amount of weight! I totally agree with wanting to be as far away from 200 as possible! My ultimate goal is to be less than 160lbs. I think that for me height, I'm supposed to be 135lbs (ha ha)!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
