I have no idea why I decided to come on here and post an update. This page was my OBSESSION before and after surgery. I started at 317 in 2010 and have been sitting comfortably between 145-150 since 2012. I still have constant food noise and my appetite and portion sizes are 100% that of a normal person. All my labs are normal except iron. This really is a tool and you have to make permenant lifestyle changes for it to work long term. I am still very grateful for where I am now.

Here is a pic of pre op 2010

my wedding 2017

and a few recent ones

Good luck everyone!

Welcome back. I highly recommend you looking into Proferrin Iron supplement. It has done wonders for many of us. Amazon sells it.

I second the Proferrin. It is expensive but worked for me when nothing else would.
