Jodi
Welcome back , I was reading your story on your profile and really touched my heart, You are so right your adult children are not suppose to get sick. My 19 year old daughter suffered a stoke in july, It was so serve had no use of her right side she could not even talk or remember her name. was hard seeing a 4,0 college student that had suffered autism her whole life world even crash more. Today she can walk w/o out a cane and only uses a leg brace to walk, and movement in her rt arm is starting to come back, We have no idea if she will get back full use of her arm only time will tell. We were told she will walk w/o a cane by summer well by winter she walked w/o a cane, She left the ucla unable to even transfer to the car seat, We had to lift her to her car seat., We took her to a rehabilitation center and all that was there was senor citizens, I had no idea how hard and the strength u need in being a mom, I see mothers/fathers caring for severely handicapped Adult children.and the courage and strength they have, I had to change her diaper and feed her and I had only had to experience it for a few months see so many adult children that their parents are suddently tossed in to this new role due to car accident, gun shot or brain injury was harder than I could not have imagined doing it the rest of my life.Talk about losing your independece.
I am so glad yo see you and look forward to see at the weekly weigh in on sunday and future posts as well welcome back to fold

The only procedure I ave heard of is the stomaphyx. they go through the esophagus and somehow pad the pouch to make it smaller again. I know they do this here in vegas. I guess the important thing to do is not over-eat and stretch your pouch.l Jano

Lisa,
Nope, as a RNY patient and a constant reader on many of the boards, I have not heard of a "rose" procedure. I have heard of some revisions but not heard of any called "rose". Now that I know you are seeking info on it, I will pay close attention to any possible references.
You're a good friend to keep encouraging your friend, leading her to the forums and supporting her. This can be a very lonely quest if you have to deal with the rollercoaster all by yourself.
Good news about your TT!
Your pictures sure looked good to me and I can't wait to see the healed results!!

Topic: Has any heard of the rose procedure for RNY'S
I have a friend who is 8 Years out from RNY and has gained about 45 lbs back I went to a Oh seminar they were talking about the rose procedure to help those who have steached their pouch But I am not finding much about it and I know very few docs actually do the procedure .Does anyone know much about it and how u go about finding docs who do it? I told her I would ask around, She said she was embaressed to tell people she was a RNY patient and I said she is upset she has gained weight back and I told her U have done a amazing job and never think u are a failure u r a sucess story, She has lost 250 lbs, To tell u the truth I think she has alot of excess skin and why she feels so big is because her tummy, She has a figure like mine was , all gut, She said she has moved away from support group she was going to and I told her about OH , I think the support and daily reminder is that obesity never talks a day off and this is something I need to is daily support and be held accountable, She feels she stopped going to support is why she has gained weight back and I told her well u know u cannot live in past and only you can look toward the future and I told her where I go for support for lap banders but I also told her they have a local one for RNY.
I was so happy to see alot of people on sunday weigh in this week I know everyone may feel ok no change why report well even if u r not losing anything that is ok , U could be gaining and u know when I start gaining over 170 I start to say ok I need to look at what I am eating, Right now I am not able to really exercise and that is a problem for me, I wish I was losing but right now I am not losing I am maintaining and for now that is what my body wants to do. I have to think back how many months I did not lose, I go back to achives of my weekly weighs and let me tell you those weekly weigh in are so valuable to me,
So next time u think a weekly weigh in is not worth it and skip it well let me tell you they are a history and shows me a pattern and gives me clues to sucess. above all hope My suggest is when u do have weight loss weight gain etc try and record what u think did to cause the weight loss gain or loss that week, I guess my memory is not as good as it use to be so archies are a valuable tool to weight loss. I think they give u insight how u were feeling that week.
Oh yeah I got one drainage tube pulled yesterday ,I still have staples in I have alot of swelling in my tummy but only means I will get smaller in time he told me my belly button looks pretty good and it will suck in eventually and I will have a innie belly button and told me u r far from sucking in u r gonna be alot smaller I keep thinking ok ok be patient I can barely fit into fitted size 12 pants but he told me be patient the inches will come off I am actually starting to see I am getting a waist.Something I forget woman have lol Just a hint,I do remember looking at at my belly right after surgery and how flat I was.
Patience is something I am seem to lack, Ok enough rambling
Dee and crystal where r u by the way???????
I am so glad to see Pam Lisa Shar OK I AM having a brain fart the others names . Sorry oK CUT ME SOME SLACK I AM TURNING 50 NEXT WEEK lol
So good luck everyone with the rest of the week lets seem so low numbers this week and more people post.

Topic: RE: Sunday Weigh In
Sorry I missed everyone on Sunday but I'm here today to report that I am still holding steady between 137 and 140. I want so badly to get down to 135 or 130 but it just ain't happenin. Funny when I was in the process of losing all this weight I thought 150 and 140 seemed so skinny... but since I went down to 135 and climbed back up to 140 I feel so fat. Stupid I know but I still want to get back to were I was and maybe even lose another 5 more. We'll see. I'm not going crazy just sticking to the plan. If it comes off great.. if not then I am learning to be content with my body the way it is at 140.
Like Inky I need to find some type of exercise that I like... which will be hard to do since I HATE all exercise!!! But I'm thinking of purchasing a hip-hop dance video that I can workout to... that might be fun and not feel too much like exercise. Just gotta find a good one now.
Like everyone else I am soooooooo COLD since I lost all my weight. And having temperatures at 31 below zero has only made it worse! I keep drinking hot herbal tea all day long hoping that I will warm up. I go to bed with so many dang layers on it's truly amazing that my hubby still finds me attractive...lol! Can't wait for warm weather again.
We have had all 3 vehicles completey die on us within the last few days. Today our only last working vehicle died on the side of the road. You know I actually couldn't believe it happened. I just sat there laughing cause I didn't want to cry. I started to think someone was playing a practical joke on me and any minute they are gonna jump out and point the hidden cameras. LOL! It's so ridiculous it's laughable. We are so tight with money that we really can't afford to fix the vehicles... so we are relying on friends & family to drive us around. I just need to remember that all things happen for a reason and trust that God sees the bigger plan and trust that He will work it all out. Just gotta have faith & patience.
Hang in there A-Team... looks like we are all doing well!
DOS: 247
Today: 139
Goal: 130 or 135

Hello everyone! I haven't been here in a long while but thought I'd drop by and say hi. What better way to do that than the weekly weigh in!
I have been maintaining for the past year or so. My weight has generally fluctuated between 152-157. I had a tummy tuck this past Monday the 12th. I've heard that this sometimes kick starts weight loss again, and I'm hoping that's true. I'm now 6 pounds from my personal goal of 145.
This winter has been a bear!! I cannot remember a winter where it has been this cold for so long, and so much darn snow! I sit on the couch under my down comforter to stay warm, but once outside there are not enough layers in the world to keep me warm. I am dreaming of winning the lottery and moving someplace warm where there is no snow!
highest: 262
surgery: 250
current: 151
Glad to see that you are all doing well. I'll try to stop by more often.
Anna :)
