Oh my , I hope you don't have a stricture.  You'd think that four years post op that our  tummy troubles would be behind us.  I can eat just about anything, however I must limit sweets.  My portions are still small  and  yes,  there are times that I still ... reguratate (sp?). Weight is a "forever" struggle with me.   I'm not where I want to be but thankfully I'm not where I was.
 
Let us  know what your doctor discovered.

I am having symptoms of a stricture, can that happen 4 years post op...I eat and it feels like a bouldwe where my stomach and esophagus meet and then I vomit. I know that's gross, but I figured we have all been through the same thing lol. UI had 3 stricture repairs after surgery and when I called his office today they immediately scheduled me for an endoscopy. What else could it be? Do ulcers feel like that?

You are not alone.  I went from 170lbs to 195lbs in a matter of 6-8 months and then I got pregnant.  My weight is piling on fast with this pregnancy.  I am hoping to lose it and then some. 

Once I have my baby, I am going back to my nutritionist to get back on the ball, maybe you should start there.

Hang in there.

HEY good looking!!!

Long time hearing from you.  I agree with Loni on you looking WONDERFUL

I've been sick since 2007, Doctors think it started in 2006 but other wise I'm still hanging in there

I went from size 10/12 to 14 but it's better then being size 22/more.

How is life treating you??

I'm tired of living in PA with all the cold but homes are not selling here in PA.

Hugs... Donna

I see they changed OH again

Your not alone. I went from size 10/12 to 14.

I would rather be a 14 unless a size 22.

Hang in there

Topic: Having a really hard time lately

HI all,
I haven't posted in a long time.  I had my surgery 12/16/04.  The first few years were great. I lost weight, began dating, shopped and shopped.  I had abdominalplasty and got rid of 10 lbs of belly along with dual hernia repair.

I went from 160 to 185 during the last few years and up to 199 just after Christmas. I tried the 5 day pouch test  last summer and first lost 8 lbs.
Weight began piling on during the holidays.  I did liquids only for a week and went from 199 to 185.  That was on 500 calories a day and 100 grams of protien. I began eating protien only and gained right away.

I didn't notice ANY tightening with my pouch.  I calculated my caloric intake and it's around 600 to 900. 
I moved shortly after my surgery and have not seen a bariatric surgeon since. My insurance wouldn't allow it and my primary care doctors felt I had no need to see them.

I got married almost a year ago.  I've been cooking what my husband likes and not the way I used to. He doesn't like certain things.

I have new insurance and will have my first visit with my new primary care doctor. 

All this has just gotten me down. I was supposed to have my legs done, but my iron levels were too low and I went on my husband's insurance after we got married.  It was Kaiser and now we have a PPO.
