12 weeks post op and down 71 lbs
Good Morning OHers,
I am 12 weeks post op today and I have lost a total of 71 lbs down today. (23lbs lost the month before surgery)
I'm feeling pretty good. I had developed a stricture and have been unable to eat, but this past Friday my dilation brought me from 10mm to 12mm which has allowed me to chew soft solids for the first time in over 13 weeks and not vomit. YEH!!!!!
I go in again on May 15th for what will hopefully be my last dilation to take it from 12mm to 15mm.
I hope everyone is doing great and has a fabulous week.

Congrats on the successful dilation!! I'm sure chewing is a wonderful feeling!!
According to my scale I did not lose this week. I was hoping to lose 2.5 last week and this week, but hey, sometimes it don't work out that way. I'll keep plugging away!!

Good afternoon, you look terrific. Tell us more about the dilation.
It would be good to share on the main board also.
I am going to the OH conference in Chicago in June. I fly out on the 11th. I have not made the hotel reservations but have the ticket and flights. It is at the Intercontinental.
I would like to see sites of interest there.
