Congratulations November babies!!!! Boy it seems like yesterday that we were wheeling down the hall to the OR! Just thought it might be fun to have everyone check in on their 7th mo anniversary and answer the following: 1. How much have you lost since your highest weight? 2. What percentage of your excess weight have you lost? (total lost / # of lbs to lose x 100)? 3. What is one major behavioral change you have made since surgery? (and intend to keep as a lifelong habit)? 4. Have you lost a job, long-time friend, significant other since surgery?? 5. What is the funnest thing you can do now that you couldn't do before surgery?? (I'll answer on the 17th... my anniversary) Can you actually believe the numbers that you wrote in answer to questions 1 and 2??? Astonishing!!! Keep up the great work!!! B

Yes I just strted noticing one just before my 6 month check up and the nurse said as long as it doesn't hurt or anything just to wait until my one year check up with the Dr. 239-143-135

Gosh I didn't know that there was a message board for Nov surgeries! Anyway, Nov 23 was my day and at my 6 month check up last week I was to 203 pounds, started at 321. I feel awesome.. still trying to figure out who that person is smiling back at me in the mirror. Anne BTW... how do you get the picture in picture thingy on your profile? I can't figure it out.

Glad ya stopped by!! I had it Nov 18th also and on may 18th i had lost 94 lbs and 95 lbs was the 6 mo goal. I have lost 96 as of today. I had a 2 week stall. You are doing so WELL!!!!!! Brenda 325/310/214/152

Yup, sounds like a hernia to me....Call the doc though, I'm sure they will want to see you. I also have a hernia but mine is abdominal and was there before I had my WLS. Mine is from 2 past c-sections and scarring. I notice mine when I cough or strain. It's painful at times and will need it repaired but holding out till I get my TT. Good Luck and take care...
