Hi Guys, It's creeping up for me the 2 yr mark on March 22. I am so happy I had this surgery. It is truly the best thing I have ever done for me. I never made it ot my goal of 140. This was very upsetting at my 1 year mark. I have not lost in 14 months. I do feel like I can eat alot and this scares the devil out of me. I have to monitor myself very closely or I know it will creep right back on. I do not have any food issues. Sometimes I wish I did. I am weighing between 157 and 160. I am sched for plastics on 3/19/07. Just a few days short on my 2 yr mark. I am very nervous about it. I am having a TT with lipo, BL/BA. I have seen some not so favorable results on some. I would be so disapointed if I don't have a flat tummy. Esp. after all that money. Best wishes to everyone, Susan

This is my first time to post. I did not know this board was here. I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary and I can tell the struggle is on. I am 5'1'. I started at 262, lost 132 lbs, maintaining at 130 for the last few months, size 8-10. I had BA/BL/TT November 2006. Walk 2 miles most days and take weight lifting class a couple times a week BUT I CAN TELL THE STRUGGLE IS ON. I went to my doctor/hospital support meeting last night and my weight was up a little--first time that has happened. According to their fancy scales, it is water and muscle weight, but still I hated seeing the numbers go up. The old cravings for food is back and I can eat much more. I know it is head hunger, but.... I am trying to go back to a lot of liquid protein for a few days, but it is hard going back. I eat very little sugar, but I got into it yesterday. I guess, I was upset about the weight gain at meeting. Old habits keep sticking their heads up. I know these are little things, but I just do not want things to get out of hand. Been there--Done that. Anybody else having problems?

You ARE doing well! Excellent! I've had that low blood sugar problem also, along with a few episodes of low blood pressure (fainted one time when I was ill). My surgeon has me eating several smaller meals a day. I'm never to get "too hungry" - eat every 3-4 hours. Good luck with your plastics! That still really scares me. I need it so bad, but am kind of putting it off. I keep saying, "sometime in the next year I'll get going on that" I'm blessed in that my insurance will cover everything I need (except my neck wattle!) because I also need drastic plastic surgery to correct another condition, hidradenitis suppurativa. Insurance pays for that, and they will use my own extra skin instead of the grafts I would have had to have if I'd done this pre-op. Hope it all goes well for you. Please keep us posted about that!

It's great to get your update. You are really ROCKIN IT! Awesome. Congrats!

Happy Re-brithday Marcher's! WE ROCK Becky
