Shelly, I just read the update on your mom and I have to say, I have nothing and will have nothing but positive thoughts about her recovery. Take care of yourself, your mom will be okay. Brannon

Shelly, I have recently dealt with the "constipation" issue also. Had surgery in January. I now take Benefiber in my protein drink 3 times a day and try to eat a banana a day and it's working! I was miserable for a while but I haven't had any continuing problems for about a month. Am finally a "regular" person. Hope this helps!

Hi Shelley, I am not a Dr. or a nurse but I don't think that I would let this pass without a call to your PCP or your surgeon. Pain is normally a sign that something is wrong and we need to stay on top of things. I'm just six months out too and if I were in your shoes I would be running to my Doc. Might be a hernia? They are very common after WLS and sometimes can be left alone until TT time. Check it out and keep us posted. BIGGHUGGZZZZ

Shelly W you look great! Your before and after...you don't even look like the same person. Thanks for the well wishes and the compliment on my page. Your page is beautiful too. I especially like the fact that we were almost the same weight before surgery and you have lost over 100 lbs in 6 months! You are now my idol. That is so wonderful. Keep up the good work and hopefully in 2 more months I will be a part of the century club as well.

You look incredible! What a change in a relatively short time. Think how long that would have taken without WLS. If you're like me, after 2 days of "diet," I'd be back to my old ways of eating and packing on my weight! Be proud. You really are blossoming!
