I have been gaining and loosing the same 2-3 lbs for the passt 3 months. My question is am I stalling or have I stopped loosing alltogether? Thanks, CJ

1)- What was your weight pre-op? 261 2)- What is your goal weight? 155 3)- How much have you lost already? 100 4)- How much total weight do you want to lose? (#1 - #2) 106 5)- What percentage of excess weight have you lost? (#3 / #4) 94%? Doing very well and my labs are perfect, I am so thankful for this surgery and would do it all over in a second! I've had zero complications!

Mary Beth... I am so very happy for you. You have come a long way. Bet you never thought you would be where you are today. Keep up the good work. You will have the rest gone before you know it. Karen RNY6-30/288-145 at goal but may keep going.

Patti, I'm so glad you feel better! I really want to have a tummy tuck done in a few months. How does this surgery recovery/ pain etc. compare with the RNY? I've heard the pain from this is the worst, but can you explain? Thanks! JA 270/167/135?

Hi all, I am new here. I had roux en y on june 17 2004. i am 6ft tall and i weighed a remarkable 404 lbs. here i am now down to 259, the thinnest i have been in 15 yrs. can you imagine! all that time wasted being obese, not being able to ride rides at the amusement parks and missing out on my childrens' lives. now here i am planning a trip to an amusement park the day it opens at the end of april, and you can bet i will be on every ride they have! i went from a size 32 to 20. shoes from a 12w to 10w and rings from 11 to 9. can you imagine? i want to get down to an even 200 lbs since i am very large framed. cannot get too thin i will look sick. now my focus is tummy tuck this summer, i thought my skin would have bounced back ebtter, but it didn't. anyone have any ideas on the skin removal? how painful, etc? i would love to hear from you. if anyone needs support, please email me! take care
