Xx
Wow - well done for losing three stone yourself. That's excellent I am having a sleeve within the next two months hopefully - can't wait! x x
Hi Susan,
I'm new here too.
I had a gastric bypass on 26.01.13.
Nice to meet you,
Steph
Hi Susan and welcome to the forum . I'm also hoping to have WLS within the next six months. I have the balloon in at present in an effort to get my BMI down to 50 .. Getting there slowly x
Good luck hope u hit ur target soon x
Hi Susan battling with reflux at the moment but have just had med change so hopefully that will do the trick. I hit a plateau in the weight loss stakes were I actually gained 3lbs with only a daily intake of 800cals tops grrr. General consensus was I wasn't eating enough so upped the intake to 1100/1200 and the weight is moving again... I have just under 3 stone to lose still to get to my target for surgery with 5 months left with the balloon so plenty of time yet Scary thought though is that by that time I will have lost 7 1/2 stone!
How are you getting on? X
