Topic: Anyone have problems with gallbladder after wls?
Hi everyone Im just wondering if anyone has had any problems with their gallbladder after wls. I found out I have stones. Also, if you did did it cause your weightloss to stall?

Topic: RE: Anybody else slowing down on the weight loss?
Hi MotivatedOne,
I have slowed to the point I havent been loosing at all for almost a couple of months. I did find out that I am having issues with my gallbladder so Im not sure if that has anything to do with it though. I have had plateaus though but thats when I would loose my inches. Im not sure if this helps but thats what is going on with me.

Greetings May RNY people!
After averaging losing about 15 pounds a month the first 4 months, I barely lost any weight in the last 30 days and am fluctuating between 200 and 205.
Anyone else hit a "stall" or "plateau?"
We are all coming up for our 6 month check-up, which for me means a complete blood panel to check on my nutrient levels and everything else relevent.
Anyone already have their check-up yet?
Best Wishes

Thanks Tammy for the reply ... :)
I get alittle discouraged from time to time, which requires me to vent every so often.

Sondra,
Please don't feel like you suck or are doing something wrong. You are not and let me give you the plus about losing weight slow. This girl in my support group has taken a full year to lose 100 pounds but let me tell you she looks so awesome.Her skin and body looks so tight and defined unlike me with all and I mean all my loose skin. She has definiton to her arms rather than sagginess like me and she hasn't been sick throughout the whole process unlike myself. She has been so successful and I am happy for her and for you for losing 53 pounds in less than 4 months thats a lot and you should be patting yourself on the back. The other patient that I am refering to has really kicked in a lot of exercise to get her through her stalls in weight loss.I am proud of you and happy for you. Remember this is a journey into our new healthy life and some people are going to be different from others but we will all get to same place just at different times. So enjoy and and congratulations.
