6mth issues??

I have heard that around your 6mth Post opp you start to have issues. That is when the majority of the problems occur? What is this all about? xoxojenn

what kinds of issues are you hearing about and from whom? I'm asking because I'm confused about your question. I haven't heard anything about issues cropping up with any more frequency past 6months than they do any other time post-op. Stef Lap RNY 11/12/04 390 -> 304 -> 175

I haven't heard of any special issues but I can tell you the ones I had. First I was cold all the time. Then I had energy to burn. Oh yea, then came the period I chased my wife around a couple of times a day. She kinda liked that for awhile. hehehehe. Then I nearly went broke trying to keep up with the changing waist size and new clothes and the rings began to fall off so I had to have them resized too. Did I mention you think you can do ANYTHING for a few months. Other than that things went pretty well.

Some others-I guess they arent thrilled with their out comes...but some other pts said to watch around the 6th mnth b/c that is when some complications start to occur. Its not that I beleive them...or am worried about it, more or less curious! xoxoxoxojenn

I loved the outcome and feel great. Praise the Lord for WLS. Hope you're doing well, Jenn

The only thing that I can think of is that around 6 months that's when sometimes abnormal blood work starts showing up - but it's usually common things, like anemia, and easily taken care of. I'm 7 months post-op now and feeling wonderful. I have my 'down' days when I wish I was a faster loser - but I also know that it's gone for good, and I'll eventually get there!!!!

Hi Jennifer Sure I had 6 month issues.........Do I smile back at men? Where did all of these men come from? Why does my face hurt so much from smiling? What does a size 14 feel like? Are these really blue jeans? Life is grand and we all cope with things but the big picture is wonderful....I am 16 months post and 107 pounds lighter.........and still smiling....God Bless and Good Luck..........Patti

You all made me smile this morning! Patti your post made me laugh! How great it is to feel like that! Those are the issues I hope to have! Thank you everyone for your advice and comments! xoxoxojenn
