ONE YEAR OUT AND STOMACH PAIN

Well I am one year out as of the seventh of Nov. and "lovin it" I have lost 112 worth of poundage. I think I have stopped but "I AM NOT GIVING UP" I am 7 lbs below my goal of 150 and that is okay by me. I try to eat right and stay on track, get plenty of excercise and work. I will not give up. My daughter had her WLS on Aug. 31, 2007 and has lost 55lbs. I am so very proud of her. She had to go today and have her opening to her pouch stretched, she kept throwing up and it hurt her chest, when the surgeon got in he took a picture and she had at least 10 must take pills stuck, she has learned real fast how to grind them in a spoon and water before taking anything. I still have stomach pain, the surgeon is going to take out my gallbladder on the 29th of month. He was waiting for me to have an upper GI so that he could make sure that everything else was okay and it was, my pouch is still the same, whooohooo. Thank you to all my friend here and every where for your most welcome support. Chrisy

I'm sorry you have pain. It sounds like it may resolve with the gallbladder surgery? That is so cool that you got confirmation that your pouch is still the same size. I think many of us fear ours is stretched out. You have first hand knowledge that yours isn't! Wanda

Congrats on your year surgiversary YOu have done so well!!!! Congrats to you daughter too - glad she is following in your footsteps Keep us posted on your stomach pain ... I hope that is resolved soon for you! hugs, Britt

Congrats on your surgiversary and great weight loss! I hope they get to the bottom of your pain with the gall bladder surgery.

Congrats on you one year isn't it an exciting time for us. Hopefully removing the gallbladder will do the trick for your pain. Deb

Hi Christine, I hope you are feeling better. Lately, I've been wishing there was some way I could find out if my pouch is the same size. Sure seems like I can eat ALOT. Loretta
