Great job and glad your vitamins are all worked out for you .
wow now I weigh 1333? .lol.. I meant 133
I know you won't believe this, but I had surgery in 2009. Every time I took multiple vitamins, I was always low on something. UNTIL I started taking Flintstones Complete chewable s...lol.. I couldn't believe it! My surgery doc told me to take them and it worked. Everything came out normal this time!
In 2009 I weighed 354 lbs and now I am down to 1333!

Did your surgeon say why the bubble happened. I've noticed with the sleeve that most people lose 100 lbs then gain back. Ive lost 100 lbs and have stopped losing. :( Of course I know most is my fault..no water, not enough protein and lack of exercise ( do to pain in joints and bone spurs)
Very encouraging words to hear, and just the right time in my life to hear them!!! I am 6 months out from my RNY and am going through some pretty extreme changes as well. Your words came along in the nick of time! Thank you and all the best!!
I am so happy for you and Proud of you! See, all that worry. You had scar tissue around the opening of you pouch that empties your food into your large intestine.. Thats why I had so many . My scar tissue kept growing back. You did great! Happy Dance!! Get some rest today. That medication they gave you takes a coupke days to wear off.
I have two weeks today until my surgery . Here is my email address: [email protected] If you want to send me yiurs, I'll put you in my address book. Hugs!

First let me say that YOU are my Hero!! I walked in and there was no formal waiting room, there were just people on both sides either getting prepared or laying there recovering. It was NOT at all what I expected. I laid in the bed after changing behind a curtain with no less than 20 people walking just outside it (the curtain hit me around the knee area) it took about an hour for them to take me back. Now mind you this was a military hospital so they aren't always on top of their game;) I can't tell you how many times I thought "okay this is a bad idea time to go"..lol. I had an upset stomach due to nerves and had to go to the bathroom several times. My poor husband he was so good to me yesterday. Finally they took me back and asked me a few questions. I don't remember much except Constant belching..OMGoodness I sounded like a freight train! Then I heard him say this is the part most people hate and I saw this long thick green tube that reminded me of a crayon at the end and it was NOT fun! I'm assuming that's the stretching part because then it was over.
What we know so far: they found a hiatus hernia in the distal third of the esophagus. Esophagitis seen in distal third of esophagus. There was stricture and they dialated it. They also took a biopsy.
I was told it would be about a week before they had that back.
Whewww.....glad it's over! I have a sore throat but other than that I'm okay. I would love to just sleep today:))

I am 10 years out and have pain in my right side. I had an EDG yesterday. The doctor said I have an ulcer. I was surprised that no one mentioned an ulcer to your post. That was the first thing I thought of. I lost 110 pounds and regained 30 and have stayed there for a long, long time. I did not get to my goal weight. I would love to lose the 30 regain and 20 more.
Is plastic surgery an option for you?
