I hope everyone's not abandoned this thread!  I had a rny in KS in 2006, and did great for two years, then went on a different med that had a weight gain side effect, and that was all I needed to gain sixty pounds and a lot of bad habits.  I'm now in Manitowoc and am soooo interested in the meetings in Appleton.  What is the name of the clinic?  Are they still on the 3rd Wednesday?

Thanks.  I can't wait to be a loser and have my britches fall off.  That would be a first. 

HORRAY FOR YOU!!!!!  Soon you'll become a Big FAT loser too!  It's a fantastic ride, so hold on to your britches (They'll fall off you soon enough!)

Jassy,

Please don't allow yourself to get into the I am disabled mindset.

I hope you went back to school second semester.  I think I suggested you check in with the University Hospital to see if they have an obesity treatment program.  If you remained in Milwaukee contact behavioral health clinic at the former Sinai Campus of Aurora Find out if you have clinical depression and get that treated.. Start going to OA groups to find out why you need this weight.  It really is not your enemy.  It has protected you for years and it might be the right time to release it.  Try and get seen by an exercise physiologist to see what you can do to strengthen  the back muscles.

You have a wonderful full life ahead of you.  You also have the ability to reverse the old eating patterns.  Concentrate on getting to 325, then 320, small goals maybe two pounds a month. Maybe today you can change one thing (for me it would be avoiding Kopps Custard for you maybe it  is Pepsi or chips)  Just leave that edible alone one day, and then a second day.  Be patient.

I don't know if you a person of faith--if so remind yourself that God loves you totally whatever your weight.  Ask Him for the strength to start feeling better.  Girl Love Yourself! God doesn't make junk

We all edged up on that scale overtime, it just takes a bit more time to do the opposite. You can do it.  Blessings!

Well if you have all your pr-op tests done, you could get your date at your last appointment with the doctor.  and if your egd is scheduled it is going to take some days i think it depends on whos doing your egd procedure before the results get to the doctor. they say about 5-7 days i think or 10-14, but if i asked the people how long will it be before the results are in when i had mine done, and i think they told me about 7 to 10 days but it was done before then.  I think about 5 days or something like that because nothing was wrong.
