Hi, I had surgery Aug. 7th. I started at 212lbs with a height of 5'2. I now weigh about 118lbs. My goal is 108lbs. My weight loss is extremely slow and basically all me. I can eat so much more now and it does scare me. I started out with a small pouch and could barely eat anything but now......:(. Oh well, that's the way it's supposed to go, I guess. I try to eat every 2-3 hours, once in a great while I will eat a bite of something in between but rarely. Hope that answered your questions, good luck!

Hi I had my surgery Feb 28 2002 and I weight 350 lbs and was 5'2" tall I almost died I had a leak and was rushed back in surgery 2 days later. My heart stopped and I had to have a trac for 6 months. I was in the hospital for 3 months. I lost a total of 150 lbs and now weight 200 lbs I do get hungry often and eat ever 4 hrs like clock work. So far I have kept my weight off but am worried about gaining some back. I now need to have the lose skin on my stomach removed but am afraid of going back in the hospital also the doctor did damage to my nerves in my back and I have a numb foot which they call a dropped foot so I have trouble walking and fall a lot. I cant get any excersie other then in the swimming pool. Please email me and let me know how you are doing my email is [email protected] thank you
