Weight loss is slow, but I'm still losing...my back is getting worse and my surgeon continues to tell me that it will get better..After 11 months, I should have some improvement or relief..I look great despite everything that I have been throug- continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

This morning I went to a follow-up with my Dr. My Vitamin D level is so low, the numbers didnt even register!!!!!!!!!!!!! My protein  and iron levels are also still very low- I am at my wits end; I have always had low iron but the low protein and vitamin d bothers me a great deal!

I'm losing lots of inches; weight coming off slowly but certainly.

Well its been 8 long months since my lap rny...for the most part I feel and look great! I can wear 1x tops- I dont ever remember wearing a 1x! I can wear 2x skirts but choose not to because of my legs...my surgeon told me that having surgery on my legs is more dangerous than having gastric bypass! my primary care doctor told me that having surgery on my back to repair damage done during my rny is extremely dangerous and there's no guarantee that the nerves arent permanently damaged! (both of those facts are hard to swallow; I've decided to not have surgery on my legs nor my back; neither are worth the risk!) As usual my protein is low, my iron is low and my vitamin d is low. My weighloss stalls a lot now, but I will not complain- I have lost a tremendous amount of weight already and I am so thankful for that!
