Topic: Not doing so well
Hi everyone
I've gained about 50 pounds back but I have been so sick with Cirrhosis of the liver and then my kidneys went into renal failure. I retain water so bad that I have my legs wrapped as I have open weeping sores. Then on September 27 I slipped coming into the house and hit my head on the steps cracking it open to the bone, 18 staples and face all bruised. Sounds like most of us are struggling in one way or another.

Topic: Checking in...
Hi everyone,
Was wondering how everyone was doing, we are 5 1/2 yrs post op?? Wow time flies...
Obviously alot happens in 5yrs..
Lets see,
I divorced my husband and turned to partying and drinking ALOT! I was loving the attention and became very selfish and self absorbed, around 3 yrs post -op I started gaining weight, still partying, but thankfully God and only Gods grace, love and mercy made me wake up and turn my life around.
Now Im happily remarried to a wonderful Godly man who loves me for me and not what my body looks like and is extremely supportive in helping me become even more healthy than before...
Im still greatful for the surgery, it really did save my life and Id do it again in a heartbeat but Id also change alot of things post op as well..
I was a size 38, 5 or 6 x weighing 415 lbs then went all the way to 185.. (Im 5'10) now Im unfortunately 260lbs in a size 20/22 bottoms and 18/20 top but Im determined to live out the rest of my life healthy mind, body and spirit..
God Bless,
Kelly Hamilton

Hi Ron,
I'm kinda envious... I did so well in the beginning and dropped my weight really quickly. Too much in fact... The Dr's told me I HAD to gain some back. I was too skinny. Not what us 'former fatty's' need to hear. Now, I wish I could get a revision. I am nowhere near what I was before surgery, but my 'tool' sure doesn't respond like it used to.
Good Luck to you with your revision. You always had such ambition and strive. I, too, know you will do well.

Hi!
I'm one of those that never got skinny that first year...and here I am over 5 years out and still fighting to lose weight. But boy can I gain it and FAST! I can drop it again almost as fast but it takes major effort on my part. I gained 50lbs back and thankfully, have lost it again. But the girl that swore she would never see 200+ on the scale again...DID!
I refuse to give up though...I've been through too much, spent too much money and come to far to give up now.
