Oh wow!! 
What an ordeal! I never heard of the ovary and fallopian tube attaching itself to the bladder - how scary!! So glad they caught it and that everything was benign and all is good. Wow!! Yay!! Congrats on your gallbladder being out. I had mine taken out 3 mos post op and have had no problems since. Amazing. You are so close to goal. Wow!! I bet you already look like you are at goal being so close to it. Yay!! Congrats!

Topic: RE: POLL: How much have you lost?
Just a word of encouragement for you. You are probably 170 when you account for extra skin. I told my nutritionist I wanted to weigh 160 and she told me to stop at 180 because the rest of that 20lbs would of been extra skin and if I decided to have plastic surgery to remove it, then my weight would be 160. So you never know, you could be at your goal already ;)

Well I started at 341 and I'm 5'9. Since then I've lost 137lbs which puts me right at 204. I haven't stalled out but have been losing a bit slower than in the past. I did talk with my nutritionist and lowered my calorie intake to 1000 and that boosted my weight loss the last couple weeks. Now my next goal is to get myself moving and start going to the gym at least twice a week and hopefully 4 times a week. I've got 24lbs to lose before I can go ahead with any plastics but I would really like to lose about 30 or 35. It seems these last pounds are always the hardest to get off but I'm not giving up until I am at goal.

Kerri Topic: RE: Defiecencies AnyOne????
I just went to the hematologist on Wednesday because my plastic surgeon wanted me to go due to a complication I had had with my original RNY. Well then the hematologist decided to check me for everything imagineable. They took 15 little viles of blood. I was like good gracious. Then I find out afterwards that my mom has a genetic blood disorder that can cause a vit K deficiency so now I have to go back to be tested for that as well. I should at least know the results of the iron, b-12, and folic acid ones by next week. It'll be a couple more weeks before I know the rest. I'm pretty sure I'm deficient in some of these because I was really bad about taking all my vitamins there for about 2 months. I've since jumped back on the bandwagon. Hopefully it comes out somewhat normal. I also still have about 25 or 30lbs to lose and have to somehow get my protein up to 100grams a day at least for the 2 months prior to any plastic surgery according to my surgeon.

Robin, I just had my blood work done yesterday so I can't answer. I have struggled with my iron levels since about 3 months after surgery. I am on 2 pills a day and am hoping my results will be good. My surgeon has me on a prenatal vitamin daily and I also take a sublingual b 12 several times week. I try and get in 2 doses of calcium citrate as well but miss it sometimes because I can't take it and the iron at the same time, Terry
