Hi there, I am looking for others like me. Out of surgery at least 5 years. I've yo-yoing for the last few years. My original weight was 336, my lowest 153. Today's weight 188. I've also had bad stomach pains that wake me, I've been eating Rolaids like candy. I'm also severely anemic. Anyone like me out there?

I'm not that far out as you are -- congratulations for being an early groundbreaker for the rest of us -- but your symptoms sound like something you'd definitely benefit from seeing a surgical consult to follow up. God Bless.

I'm not as far out as you are (just hitting 3 yrs), but wanted to congratulate you on keeping control of your weight when I see so many with significant regain. It sounds like you might have an ulcer -- have you seen the doc?
