Back from the dead💀

 its been years since my surgery and years since I've checked in. This website has been so helpful the months before and the months after my precedure. 

 I wish I had known of this forum at that time. Well I've found it now and it seems the "crew" of regulars don't check in as much anymore I'm reading. 

Well better late than never. I'll be checking in. My weights been fluctuating and whenever I put my foot down (some call it will power) the weight comes off pretty quick. 

Im sure I'll find this forum more relatable.

Ditto.....I was just thinking the same thing!!! Thanks Kelly I couldn't have said it better myself.

I've fallen off the horse, but I'm dusting myself off and getting back on....

I'm in this weird space .. I'll get on my meal plan and start from the beginning it's just a matter of when.. I got the physical part I need to work on my mental . I plan to dust myself off.   

Hello Kelly,

I logged on for the first time in 10 years, yesterday. Soon, I will be having a revison of the GB. Not proud to admit it - but, I need the surgery one more time to ensure that I remain healthy. Prior and currently I have no co-morbidilities (hign blood pressure, diabetes, achy bones, etc...)so, I'm pretty healthy and want it to stay that way as long as I can.

Welcome back!

Thanks and good luck to you Staci 

Im pretty healthy as well but my weight still fluctuates. Staying on the food plan is tough because  I'm an emotional eater but my blood pressure is normal now and I no longer have diabetes like you. Again good luck and as far as I'm concerned there's nothing to be ashamed about. There are too many posts about revisions I've seen. My goal is to stay healthy as well. It's still a daily struggle. Some people say weight loss surgery is a quick fix....  NOT!

Kelly

Thanks, Kelly!

I am so glad to hear that you no longer have diabetes. I truly agree with it NOT being a quick fix because the weight comes right back on!

It's been years for me as well.  I'm an emotional eater and that's not good. Maybe I'll need the surgery again I hope not I feel like if I'm under 200 I'm good but I'm not. Eating is an emotional thing with me..surgery doesn't fix that. Yeah it's embarrassing to me too..

good of luck keep in touch
