Bariatric Surgery

I had sleeve Dec 15

I had the sleeve 4 years ago my highest weight was 650 but drop to 547 on my first appointment I then drop down 80 more pounds for the surgery but one day before surgery I blew my gallbladder and had emergency gallbladder surgery then I had to postpone my weight-loss surgery one more month. After awhile I drop to 345 and things turn for the worst. Lost my home and me and mom were homeless . Depression kicked in and I lost focus eat only a little bit but due to money issues I stuck with Dollar menus and my weight started to creep back. I ballooned to 417 and went back to my surgeon do help. Anyway here I am ready for surgery number two in which they will do the complete bypass. I'm now 409 and used this app religiously so judging by what it says I should be 377 now.

Saw these links posted in another WLS thread:

my husband had a gastric bypass in October 2014, he lost almost 8 stones and was approaching the weight I was plodding along with, so I started here again. there are times he finds things difficult, and he still can't eat certain foods. he has issues with his bowels, but on the whole he is much healthier and I think happier with himself. he was diabetic and getting to be insulin resistant. he has had no insulin (was on 5 huge doses a day)since the night before his surgery and is on one metformin tablet a day. he is maintaining well at around 13 stones 10 lbs

I'm planning on getting it in May....I've got to lose another 60-70 pound before the doc will operate on me. My starting weight was 540lbs, I've been on here for a month and have lost 45lbs since starting.

You're all welcome to add me
