Hey guyz,

I havent been on in a long long time.  I had my baby boy 7 months ago, healthy thank god!  I have gained about 30 lbs since then.  I consulted my doctor and he recommended that I have a stomaphx.  This is where the reduce the size of the pouch that has since been strectched due to increase amounts of portion size and frequency of eatting during my pregnancy by going through the mouth with no cutting involved.   I am currently 214lbs. =( ....my lowest was 185 which made my total wight loss 101lbs.  I still feel great.  But have def. notice the weight gain.  Wish me luck!!!!
