Celebrating 10th Anniversary of WLS Today!

Hi All,

Just wanted to share that today is my 10th anniversary of my WLS with Dr. Bell (Yale).  I am very happy to say, I have maintained my 100 lb WL.  Yes, there have been times when I have regained a bit, but by the grace of God and the tool Dr. Bell gave me, I was able to get back on track again.  I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Bell, even though he is no longer at Yale :( - he gave me my life back.  For those who are considering WLS, please do this for yourself!  It's worth every difficult step!

Good job!

Congrats. Although I have herd negative comments about Dr Bell glad you did well.  I guess his patients had so many issues my PCP stopped recommending him years ago when I had my surgery.  I used Aranow at Middlesex.

Congratulations on 10 years out with no issues and for maintaining a 100lb loss.

Congratulations ... I too had Dr. Bell (5 years post op) LOVED him ... so sad he is gone.  He was wonderful, and I too credit him for my continued success.

Dear JA,

Well done & congrats. I am a long terms WLS patient & have maintained my lost weight BUT I am having some problems & what I've been told are very unusual symptoms. I feel Very irritable, tearful and Hungry -actually empty- after eating. This is especially after eating my midday meal -or any other but particularly so. I was wondering if you have any experience of such or similar symptoms.

Many thanks

Amy
