Whassup Meghan, I am 21 had RNY surgery have lost 100lbs in 6 months. I started off at 374 lbs, and I am 5'9. Weightloss has been really great to me. I have experienced increase attention, easier to shop, more respect from people, and a better understanding about myself. Now with surgery you will also go through some mental things, most times around 5 months out because your hormones are going wild. but that situation can be minimized by talking, seeing a shrink, and going to group meetings. Surgery is great, and you will love your results.

I cant really give you any info on DS at all, I am having an AGB but I just wanted to say hello. I am 17 and having my surgery soon, if you ever want to talk feel free to email me.

crongratulation!! i'd say don't worry, but I am scared too. it will be over and done with soon enough, so there wont be a need to worry about it anymore. i am excited for you.

omg everyone. i cant have my surgery now....i was in the e.r. with a sever intestinal tract infection. i was on diladon(its like morphine only better),zofran for nausea, imotial for diahrea, and addavan for anxiety/restelssness. omg i was in so much pain...i was crying in everything.and its not too bad that i must have another date because my insurance already wont cover it. so i will have my surgery next month when they switch someone from feburarry to my janurary date and i will have there date. and by then ill hae my old insurance and i will be able to have it...plus i would like to tell everyone that my teens weight loss surgery support group for anyone 22 and under is open still to invites. we have so many members that its crazy.....if you are looking into,had,having,or researching weight loss surgery you may join. or if you child is or if you are a parent of a child who is.and heres those links. http://groups.msn.com/teensandweightlosssurgery http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/teens_weight_loss_surgery/ just highlight the urls and copy and paste them into ur interent browser. and join. if you dont have a hotmail/msn account you can make one at hotmail.com for free and if you dont have an yahoo account you can make one for free at yahoo.mail.com ....i really hope you join!!!we have so many members!!!!well lots of luv meghan

you are like a month out or so right? Well weight loss is going to start going in spurts... for example, one week you lose a lb. the next its 5 then it's 2 lbs... So get use to the spurts because as you go farther on the road to recovery the weight loss is going to plateau for longer such as not seeing anything for 2 -3 weeks then losing some. It is happening because your body is stablizing it's self so your whole system doesn't go into shock. Yes it is normal. No it probably has nothing to do with the orange juice.. but you can drink it?? Orange juice is a little too sugary for me. Maybe switch to crystal lites orange drink, which I know might not be avaliable everywhere... I know atkins makes something similiar that's an orange drink too.
