Just wondering if any of you are having a problem with diarrhea? I get it at least 2-3 times a week and it is severe? Seems like it has gotten worse in the last month. Thanks, Pat

True,true.I went to the gym 5 times a week or more for 30 days ok,and gained a pound supposedly on their scale when before I only powerwalked w weights and always lost weight ,and had maintained a low weight for 4 mths joined a gym gained a pound!.Talk about feeling like I wasted a month!But I lost from 27 to 24 inch waist and inches on every part of my body except half an inch gained on my thigh from muscle,and lost like a dress size or 2,can wear 0s now in some clothes lines but usually 1-3 and 4/5 in smaller made dresses.Muscle weighs more,your body needs time to catch up,just because my scale goes up 5-6 pds on my period does not mean thats my true weight.Its more about how your clothes fit,your energy level,if you are not eating bad,and you are exercising I would not worry about it! U work out eat right,the amount u weigh fluctuates and hormones and fluid levels change the number on the scale but truly no one who is doing all the right things should panic about a plateau ,or a number KEEP IT UP IT COMES OFF!Cheers!

Dawn, I just saw your new pics, you look amazing. keep up the good work. michelle

How did you get Ins. to cover the TT???? I need my thighs done in the worst way. I just figured Ins. would not pay for it. I have severly hanging skin on my upper thighs. It is so bad, it hangs in wrinkles and overlaps at my knees. I do have a few knots popping up, I fugure vercose veins. If it is, maybe I can get Ins. to cover. They did pay for my RNY 100%.... Hope you do great and I sure envy you!! i have lost 130 lbs... I love my size bit looking in the mirror naked is aweful. With clothes on, wow, I can say i look great for 49 years old.

Hi, I had surgery Jan. 27, 2004 and I weighed 252 or so at that time, I now weigh 125. I did hit a point in August when I was not loosing but in Nov. I started to loose again. I lost another 15 lbs. I really do not want to loose anymore and I struggle to keep from loosing more. My Dr. said you usually loose up to one year after surgery and then stabilize out. I did get down to 121 but I worked very hard to gain back 4 lbs. I am happy at a size 6-8....from a 24.... Best of luck and I am sure you will succeed in loosing that last 30 lbs. Trick the metabolism up seems to be the key. Vera Houpt Greenville, OH
