Congratulations on your victory! Sorry to hear about the new stricture. It sounds like you are keeping a good attitude about the whole thing. I hope everything goes smoothly with this one.

Topic: Updates ;)

I haven't posted in a while, our hospital just went paperless and it has been a mess @ work !! Anyway, on Sunday I finally reached onderland :) Woohhoooo !!!!!!
On a sour note, I was diagnosed with another stricture on Wednesday so there is another EGD and dilation in my future.
Even with all of the complications, I would do this again in a minute !
I love my RNY !!!

I lost 50 lbs preop since last 4/11 and 45 lbs since RNY on 11/7. Because of the stricture, I've been on mostly liquids since surgery :(

I've been out of town for the last month also, but so glad to hear things have turned positive for you-yeah! By the way, I also take Protonix :-)

Topic: RE: Weight Loss Stats

Tomorrow I am 4 months post op and I have lost what most of you have lost by 3 months post-op. But I bet if you calculate % of body weight lost so far we are all pretty similar. At my 3 month post-op visit I had lost 47% of my excess body weight, so I am over 50% now. My surgeon said I would "peak" early mostly due to the fact that I was lightweight pre-op. From my highest weight ever though (5 yrs ago) I have lost 107 pounds. I have so much excess skin and it gets worse everyday. My size 14's are getting big and I am just dumbfounded when I look at the scale, I am almost in the 160's, I haven't seen that number on the scale since maybe, middle school?

Congrats to everyone so far!

I like seeing how everyone is doing as well. Seems like we are all around the same as far as loss goes. How is everyone feeling? Do any of the rest of you feel like your skin is deflating?? I have an autoimmune disease that requires steroid shots and today I went to see my Doc to start the shots again.. She started laughing when she injected me the first time.. she said that the needles go in much easier.. go figure haha!
