In Need of some Advice...
WOW...what a rough time you've had!! I'm sorry but I've never heard of anyone with those symptoms either after WLS.
Have you had skin surgery yet? In your pictures you don't look like you have any excess skin.

No I have not gotten the skin surgery yet, I have to gain some more weight in order for him to do it for me. I have actually TONS of skin I just hide it very well, Trust me its under there lol sooooo much on my thighs and belly... arms are pretty bad too. lots of hiding and tucking is my daily part of life sadly...
Wow, so sorry you are going through this. My first thought was gall bladder but that is fairly common and surely they ruled that out. Second thought is ulcers, harder to rule out if they are in the part of the stomach that isn't connected since it has to be ruled out my surgery. Past that, ????? Lymes disease has very weird symptoms and it can cause all kinds of weird issues.
I sure hope you find out something soon. Maybe time to get referred to a great medical school and give them a shot at it.

My first thought was something to do with the kidneys--especially your back pain. Have you been tested for anything like that? So sorry you're not doing well. I'd keep demanding testing as much as you possibly can. Best to you!

I had kidney stones a couple of weeks ago. The dr said it is common with high weight loss patients but not talked about much. You can live with them for a long period of time as the enlarge.
If you had the DS procedure, I would have said you have an extreme case of dumping syndrome which is a risk with that procedure.
Your weight is probably ok when you get between 120 to 130. I'm a 6'1 male and about 145, although my goal weight was 185. I learned that our bodies don't really care about our goals, they just go where they will. As long as you are healthy, it doesn't matter if you're thin.
