Hi! Yep, I've read your posts and you're one of the few active people who have had the same surgery!
I don't have a great answer for why...this is unplanned loss that started when I had some nasty GI symptoms kick in last month. I know I have bile reflux after my gallbladder removal (EGD showed it two weeks ago) but don't think that's the core of what's going on. There's huge intestinal involvement. It hurts to eat and I end up with a couple of hours of pain with most food now. It feels like I'm back at day 1 restriction and have to force myself to eat.
My WLS clinic is hanging their hat on reflux and put me on ursodiol and levsin. It's helping but I'm still hurting and losing weight I shouldn't be. I woke up with neuropathy on top of it all a couple of weeks ago.
Short answer...not fully sure what's going on and I'm trying to work through my WLS clinic and PCP to figure it out. If you've experienced something similar, would love to compare notes!

I also had the Sadi but mine was in 2014. I'm curious why you suddenly dropped 22 in month 9.

Thanks for sharing. I like his, "Can I just walk the earth please? " push back on people who always have something to say about how you look over time.

I think diet is very important, even though doctors ignore it

Wow. Such blatantly inappropriate conduct from a surgical practise is something I have never heard of. If you can convince someone, get them to contact the office and claim they are calling from your lawyer's office (just make up a phoney name) and that they are calling to let them know that if they don't speak to the doctor ASA-friggin'-P, they will be filing a complaint with the state medical board.
There's a book called WLS for Dummies. It is written by Marina Kurion, MD. She's the surgeon who did Al Rokers surgert. It's clear. concise, and written in easy to understand language. Some of the topic mention are the different type of surgeries, pro and cons of each. getting ready for the operation, insurance, ets.

Being that you're not the only patient that they have, it can take some time for professionals to get the availability to write your letter/report. They do have other things that they have to do; patients to see, notes to complete. Mental health professionals are grossly overworked and underpaid. Give them some break. Many professionals give a 2 to 3week timeframe for any document/note/letter. Often, professionals write these during their own time, especially if they work in a clinic or group practice, they might not even be getting paid for writing the letter.
