Topic: RE: Still losing?
Scott-
As long as you are not going BELOW your normal weight range then I would say you are fine. Stop when you feel comfortable in your own skin. You can't always go by the number on the scale. I get told all the time that I better stop losing weight - which I pretty much have. But, you have to remember that all your family and friends are so used to seeing you obese that they can't grasp the concept of you being a "normal" weight. As time goes by, your current weight will become the norm and people will stop commenting on it. What was your surgeon's or PCP goal for you? Good Luck on your continued journey and go by what makes you feel good.

Topic: Still losing?
I had surg sept 7 2004. I hadn't lost weight in several months . I started at 365 and stayed 205 for several months. Now all of a sudden I have lost another 13 lbs with no change in diet. When is this going to stop what would be normal. My wife says I am getting to skinny. I think I could still lose another 10 or 15 lbs. I don't know whether to blame my poor self estem and body image or am I right and I could lose more. Bmi shows normal to start at 179 lbs. I am 192 right now. I think I might be pretty boney at 179. Any suggestions. Where do you say enough is enough?
Topic: 15 months and still losing!
It has been 15 months today since I had my DS surgery. I am happy to report that I am still losing. I lost another 8 pounds this month. My loss has been slow and steady.
I am 5'11'' tall, so I don't know what my ultimate goal is, I guess wherever I end up is fine with me because life is SO much better now.
Happy holidays to all!

Topic: RE: hernia and plastic surgery
Good morning. I have a huge hernia also and want a tummy tuck. They will do both of mine the same time. However, I will have 2 separate surgeons in the operating room!!! I have had 3 c-sections, 2 kidney surgeries and an open gallbladder. I refused to have 2 more surgeries - one is bad enough. So, that is what is going on with me. I will give you updates. I am just waiting for some insurance issues. Good luck. J.

Topic: RE: My VITAMINS--My AGE
I get my vitamins from VitaLady.com where they also had bariatric surgery and they carry things that are good for us. I'm very satisfied with their products, have had perfect labs, haven't lost any hair and feel wonderful.
So sorry you're old now!!!
