I am CHOCOLATE nervous~   I can eat it; CERTAIN chocolate bothers me; but, I keep eating it.  NOT like before surgery - JUST - I don't think I will EVER not eat it!   I am very conscious about proteins first and eating healthy; vitamins, etc..........but -- I have to have chocolate in some form, almost every day.   Most trail mixes.   I find the CHEAP stuff isn't worth my time though.   

Also; I don't know if anyone else feels this way; but, I find I'm not sure when I'm full.   ???  Sounds weird; but; It seems like I can eat more than what I'm reading """ a few bites """   I'm losing.  But, I'm losing slowly.   That's ok with me too.  Even if it takes me over two years to get at my goal weight; I'm ok with that.   THANKFULLY - I've reached the NO MORE HAIR FALLING OUT stage.   YAY me ~   

GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!!   :)   Stay positive and healthy!

Hello Everyone! 

I need HELP! I had revision from lap band to RNY in February 2016. I have not lost any weight. :( Partly I know its because i can finally eat food. 

A little history, Had my band for about 5 years and I ended up having complications including not being able to eat, everything i ate had to come back up, i also had severe acid reflux and after an endoscopy I found out that I also had major inflimation of my esophagus and stomach at top and bottom. This caused the doctor to want to do the revision ASAP.

I am currently 202 pounds. I went through a 2 week period where all I ate was fruit. I was so excited to be able to eat fruit! It had been 3 years since i could eat an apple or an orange and keep it down that i had to eat it. Now I am trying the low carb route and it has made me gain weight. I am at a loss and feel like a looser. (not in a good way...lol) 

Anyone else had this problem???

Plus on the BM side, i have found that I have blood in my stool... anyone else had this??

I am very greatful that i had the revision surgery, i just am looking for insite from people to get me on track. 

I am looking for a Bariatric surgeon in or very near Southern MD? I don't drive long distances so it is very hard to get to Baltimore or DC for me. I wouldn't mind coming in for visits but the last place wanted me there every month in addition to the DR visits. Any suggestions?  

So glad to see you here Cira it has been a long time, you look great!!!

I remember how you are feeling.  It is a very exciting time and nerve wracking at the same time.  Wishing you all the best in your journey.  I will be 9 years out next month.  I regret NOTHING!
