I have gained some weight in the past few months and I am finding it hard to get motivated. It probably doesn't help that I started a new medication that is known to cause weight gain. What has helped you the most to stay at your goal weight?

Is it a common occurrence to have problems having a bowel movement after surgery? Is it something that one "just gets used to"? After surgery did you have to take laxatives? For how long? Thanks for anyone for offering insight!

Years ago, I was a waitress at a popular restaurant near Universal Studios. I had a regular customer named Jerry and he was very morbidly obese. (I wasn't too overweight at the time myself.) When I first started waiting on him, he would order several portions-appetizers, at least 2 meals,…

I recently had VSG to lose 60 lbs I'd gained and could not lose over the past 6 years. I just turned 50 and felt this was going to be an excellent decision. I'm on week two-my BMI going in was in the lower range and I'm not seeing a…

I had gastric bypass in 2014. Has anyone experienced or know someone who has experienced a condition called "Iron deficiency WITHOUT anemia"? It is also sometimes called HWA (Hypoferritinemia without anemia). This is a condition where ferritin is low but hemoglobin, RBC and other related blood markers are normal .…

Theres not enough stars to rate this excellent surgeon. I am a little over a month post opt RNY. Dr. Sharma was my surgeon from Virtua Bariatrics and I am beyond the roof proud of his outstanding work on me. He goes in complete detail with everything you need to…

I had a roux-en-y bypass in 2009. A year later, I was diagnosed with an ulcer at the site of the anastomosis. I threw up quite a lot over the next years, but my parents both became demented and my health care became non-essential. I had two endoscopies in 2019.…
