how much did you weigh to start with if you don't mind me asking
Topic: RE: On the losing side!
I'm not sure if insurance covers it...but Dr. Felix in Fresno CA does revisions. I think problem with revisions is that you don't get the same results like you did with the origianl surgery. Have you tried going back to basics.....protein only, water?
I know that sounds horrible, but having another surgery is serious business. Have you been checked to see if everything is still in tack and that you haven't stretched?
I hope you find some answers and get back where you want to be.
Topic: RE: I just realized i had 5 years of post-op life on August 29,2006.
Tracy,
Thank you for the get well wishes. I am dealing with a lot but I know this too shall pass someday. I am only 5'2" and 147 right now so at my height i should be around 115-120 but i consider at least 15 pounds of extra skin so that woul make my wieght 135 at best so i am about 17 pounds more than I should be. I am where i want to be though. I did lose a few pounds this last week or so by being sick but I go up and down about 5-10 pounds at certain times. So I am happy here now if i could just get the rest of me where i want me. LOL
Happy anniversary to you too.
You sound like you are doing great too.

Hi Bobbi!! 
Congrats on your surgiversary!! 
Mine was in August too. Boy the 5 years went by fast!! I gained about 13 lbs from my lowest wieight. I can't seem to break the 165 so that must be where my body wants to stay. I keep working the tool though and trying to stay fit by adding more cardio work outs and weight training.
I'm sorry to hear you aren't feeling well... I hope you get better soon.

Hi Christy,
I agree more of us need to post... we face different challenges being 5 years out. The dreaded regain... which can sneak up on ya if you aren'****ching. 
The honeymoon is over and it is truly time to work the tool.
I spend most of my time on the WLS Grads messsage board. The folks there are wonderful and most are a couple of years post op and a handful are 5 years out.
I hope to see you over on the WLS Grad message board, cause it sure doesn't look like much is happening on this one.

I think more of us need to post. Listen...we have made it 5 years now. Do you suppose that many that are at 5 years have gained or slipped that they no longer even try or do you think that they have totally moved on and don't access support groups?????

Thanks Wendy for being right there with me.
I now have 5 years and want to know how you are doing.
I am sorry it took me so long to reply. I must have missed your reply.
Take care

Topic: RE: Our 5th Anniversary...and I missed it!
Hey I forgot mine too. LOL
I just remembered when I saw the email.
Congratulations on making it this far.
Do you use proteion drionks at all?
I find they help me the most with the carb cravings when i use 3 a day. I have been using only 1 or 2 a day for a while and need to focus on them once again.
They helped me reset my pouch in January. I lost 15 pounds using them and have only gained 10 back. Yikes. i need to focus for sure.
You are getting there and I know it is hard this far out.
I did follow the program and i reached my goal. I am happy with my weight loss.
I hope you have a great year this year.
Hugs
Bobbi

I am 5 years out! wow it has gone fast.
I had my computer in the shop for a week and just got it back and founds out i had my 5 year anniversary when I read my email.
It is hard to believe it has been 5 years, I have maintained my weight within 10 pounds too. I have to keep tuning my tool though.
I have to get the 10 pounds off or at least not let anymore back on.
I feel so weak though. I had my yearly blood work lst month and it was good. I just feel as though i have the flu. I am also in a bad flare-up of my fibromyalgia and I have meraglia paresthetica of my thigh to boot.
I am in pain.
I may not post here very often but i read sometimes.
Take care everyone and Happy aniversary to all my 2001 August pals.
Hugs
Bobbi

Happy Five Year Anniversary..to all of all "old troopers"! Ha! Hey..this is Lisa...from CT. I had my RnY on 8/23/01 in NYC.....I am a regainer. Never made it to goal..not even close. BUT..I still dont really regret having the surgery. I'll take 220 over 295 anyday! But..I DO have to get serious about it again. I am tired of people looking at me and saying things like" huh?! YOU had gastric bypass surgery?" Pleas,e lets keep in touch. I havent heard from anyone on here for over three years! Lisa
