Hi Milene I think you need to talk to your Surgeon or pcp. It could be nothing then it could be somthing that needs taking care of.You can by prilosec over the counter it mite help relive the heartburn. Pamela D.

Hi Pamela! On June 8th, it will 3 years for me also. Where does the time go??? It seems like just last week, I was at home, recovering from surgery....then at the same time, it seems like my old life was a lifetime ago....Weird... My lowest weight was 148.5. For like 10 minutes! I bounced around in the low 150's for awhile, but looked way too thin. I think I must have lost a lot of muscle, cause I was wearing a size 6 jean. I can't remember EVER wearing a size 6, even in grade school! Everyone told me I looked gaunt and that my face was way too thin. I started working out and gained about 10 to 15 lbs of muscle. I went back up to a size 8 or a 10 and have stayed there. I'm happy as long as I'm in my size 10 jeans and my weight is in the 160's. (although lately I've been around 168 to 169 and it's probably time to drop about 10 lbs! I know I'd feel better if I did.) So I've started to really concentrate on my water and counting those carbs (or lack of!) Thats the deal I made with myself. I will stay in the 160's ( or lower) If I start gaining any weight, I will do what it takes to get back to my size 10's and in my range of the 160's. WLS really is not the magic wand, some people think it is! It will always be a lot of work to stay thin, but it's SO worth it!! Healthwise, I'm doing OK. I get a pain in my lower right groin area sometimes. I often wonder what it is, but it hasn't been bad enough to go get it checked out. My diabetes is gone, my knees are hanging in there, as is my back. The wear and tear of 50 years of being obese, sometimes gets to my knees and back, but so far, I can live with it. I know of others that are far worse off than I. I truly have been so blessed to have been able to get this surgery and get this weight off. It will always be a battle, to stay in control, no emotional eating (or drinking!) and keep up the exersize, but thats the gig I signed up for! And I am so much a better person for it! So much happier, healthier and living life now, instead hiding out away from it! I am truly thankful for all of the second chances I've been given! Lyn

Hi Jun Bugs Jun 22nd will be my 3year aniversary and i have lost 150 LB. and feeling Great.Come on out and shout you June bugs let me hear from you.How are you doing? Pamela D.

Well its nice to see your face! You look wonderful! I can't believe it will be 3 months until 3 years....Its been amazing. I am on the gain side too but you know its not that bad. I see 10 lbs is going around. I have been busy with life, school, new job....its been wonderful but stressful. I am sure that is where the pounds are coming in at....also not much gym time. We are changing that this week. I do plan on changing eating stuff this week too! Its time for me to be in control instead of letting other things control me. That is what got me to 425 lbs. and you know I don't want to go there again. My 16's are tight but still go on. Now lets get these 10 lbs plus more off. I can do it right? Debbie

I haven't been on OH for a long time now. Too busy living life. But bored in work today since I'm alone in the office. I work for a doctor and he's out the rest of the week, so is the other women I work with. I originally lost 150 pounds, went down from 276 to 125. Stayed that way for a year or so, then went to 130. Now I seem to be staying between 130-135. My size 3 an 4 pants still fit, so not sure if it's muscle weight or what? When I see my wls in June and he calculates my body fat I'll know for sure. I still love the way I look! I still work out 5-6 days a week and have gotten into trying classes at the gym. For the longest time I would just work out on my own afraid to try any classes. Back in August I started spinning and love it now. And tried another one recently that was tough but I got through it. I have to convince myself that I'm thin now and as fit as anyone else in the class and tell myself that I CAN DO IT. And I'm amazed that I CAN indeed keep up with others in these classes. Life is GOOD!!!! Take Care, Terry Coles
