Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

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!

There are support group forums here organized by year. You can post in the one for the type of surgery you had. Look under forums.

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.

Sorry. You are right. The monthly gastric bypass support group only goes back to 2011.

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?
