I am 6 months out of surgery as of yesterday..I had lap RNY..and am doing wonderful. I am down from a size 30/32 on top to a 22/24 and am down from a tight 28 on bottom to a 20 in jeans :) Almost 100 pounds down..I feel so much better. I had my surgery for health reasons, but it has been nice to see the physical changes as well. I have had hairloss as well..and am having trouble getting my protein in..I hope this gets easier as time goes by.
My cycles were fairly regular before surgery..since surgery they have been less regular and much heavier..Dr says this is due to rapid weight loss and to give it a year to regulate again.
All is well otherwise in my world..I am getting on an airplane for the first time in 14 years next Wednesday to fly from Iowa to Michigan to see my best girlfriend. I am very excited and we have lots planned to do on my 10 day visit. I will post my story sometime soon to the board.
Thanks for reading and have a great week everyone.goodluck on the job Teresa..I will be praying for you
Adore Yourself!!!
I started at 324lbs and a size 26. After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011. My second daughter was born in September 2013. I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs. I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter. The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls. My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.
Yesterday marked 6 months since my VSG surgery and I weighed in at 224 which puts my total weight loss at 100 lbs! Yahoo! You can check out pictures on my blog - link in signature. I saw the gyno/PCOS guy last week and he was very happy with my loss. He is running some labs to see how my hormones are doing. My hair loss has been pretty significant. I first noticed it on valentine's day - so 4 months out - and I'm still losing, though not nearly as much as I was. I also have really thick hair so it isn't noticeable to anyone but me.
Big news - I got my first unassisted period in 2 years this month!! YAHOO! Only PCOS gals would understand my excitement at this.
I can't wait to see if it continues - fingers crossed. This one was a period from hell - payback my doc said for all those months without one. Anyway, check out my blog for pictures!

My surgery got bumped from the 12th to the 30th of this month and I can't wait!! My highest weight was 244 and now I am 228. I am looking forward to the journey to a new me!
As for the PCOS I am still sick of the hair where it doesn't belong like my chest. Ugh! And of course my monthly cycle decided to start again after a year and half absence from my endometrial ablation.
Hoping that the surgery will balance things out and that I can stop taking my metformin.
Good luck to you both with the job hunting!!
A dream is a wish your heart makes!

i am going to probably try it some time later this summer so that i can get rid of the hair on my lip and chin...
any of you had success?
I will be 2 months out on the 22nd of this month. I started out at 248 and Im down to 200. The scale wont budge past 200 though! GRR I know it will come in time but I just want to be under 200. I just went shopping for a new pair of pants because my old clothes literally fell off of me. I went from a size 22 to a 16 in a 1 1/2 months. It is amazing what this surgery has done for me. I am still not seeing a major change, nor am I really feeling a major change, but everyday is a new day, and I tell myself I am getting healthier. My son has been sick for a few days now, I am taking my finals for my college classes, and I start my new courses this next week. All I can say is busy busy busy. Well that is about it for me!
