Hi Lisa - I can tell you from experience not to compare your results to others.  Just do what you are supposed to do and let your body do its thing.  You have done great, 88 lbs in six months if fab.  I hope I can get there in two more months.

I sure hope they pull some labs on you this month.  It sounds like you need to up your b12 or your iron or both. 

When was the last time you lost 88 lbs in six months - your head is playing tricks on you - congrats on your success!

I owed it to myself to research the duodenal switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you.  Check out DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information.  Remember think twice, cut once, revisions are risky and revision surgeons are rare.

I have never lost 88 pounds in 6 months,lol. I have lost 70 before and gained it right back!! we probably all know how that feels, i did that 3 times.
   I went to the dr. today, they sent me for lab tests, I will find out the results in a few days. he is also sending me for a dexascan, it is to check my bone density for my whole body, they couldnt do it today, so I scheduled it for the beginning of next month. 
   he said I was doing great, to keep up the good work, etc, etc.
thanks for all of the support I got from you all, I was even going to find my lightest clothes to get weighed in today, and after all the responses I got, I decided to just wear normal clothes to be weighed in and I didn't even pull off my shoes, lmao. thanks to all of you,

Congrats on your progress so far!  you have done great!  I am curious to see how your labs are.  I like you have been very tired lately but I take my vitamins everyday and I think we are both taking optisource?  I go for my 6 month tomorrow so we will see what my labs have to say.

Also, I do think how much you loose does have a little to do with your starting weight.  I have lost 130 so far but I also started out weighing in at 400 pounds. 

You are looking fantastic so keep up the good work!

Glad you have your results in.
Are they recommending you take any other supplements?
My iron was a little low but I haven't been taking anything other than my optisource vitamins.
