Hi Marie,
I am not at goal either and when I saw my MD for my one year appointment this past week he said most likely I will not loose any more!
I have only lost 62 pounds. I also feel a bit depressed these days for many reasons. I hate the way my skin feels..... it is leathery and OLD looking. I still feel fat because even though I can wear a size 8 or even a 6, the roll of Fat hangs ove the top of the jeans so I still wear a size 10.
I have had some complications with Pain, ulcers and constrictuers...
Last night was really hard. This is a poem I wrote....
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In My Mirror
I do not know these eyes that look back at me.....
Hollow vacant eyes....
Who 's are they.
The face also seems familiar..
but not mine.
This body too
wears like a heavy, wet, wool suit.
with skin heaped and mounded in layers,
As if to make it look human.
How can I see out of these eyes, not mine ...
Or feel the weight of this body so alien.
There is sadness deep with in me
but these eyes
will not allow my tears to come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I to am hoping that by Christmas I will be past these complications and I can enjoy this new body. MY MD did tell me that we can begin looking at plastic surgery, and that he can do it for me. I do trust him and like him, but I had to move out of the state he is in and have not found a new MD I like, where I live now. I have another appointment with him in 6 months. Who knows... maybe this will all work out for both of us.
I am sorry for your loss. Like so many I also lost a daughter, at the 4 month mark. 22 years later (this month in fact!) I still miss knowing who she might have been. I think it is a loss that will always be there.

PS: I do see a therapist, My MD makes it a requirment for some of his patients, I also have begun to step up my exersize proram and have found a nutritionist here on base that is willing to help me.
HNAG IN THERE!

Marie,
Think about what your body has been through in the last year. I know how hard it is. (I miscarried back in 2000 and I am no where near my goal!)
Right now you need to focus on being healthy - both mentally and physically - and then get back on the losing streak. Remember that for some people they lose over the course of 18 months, so you're probably one of those people. I try to tell my self that every day, because there's no way that I'm done yet!
Hang in there.

Same to you and I am truly blessed by having this life changing surgery. I am truly a new person!
Topic: RE: Hey Everybody
THANK YOU ALL, it just seems like I am gonna be the one it doesn't work for. I will try my best to get back on track. I am glad I am no longer on the meds I once were on and that I can do alot of things more easily than I did one year ago.:glad:

I had a vbg in 98 and from day one had problems... I was throwing up even water... became dehydrated and was back in the hospital several times... Had to have dilatations done about 6 of them.. to get the ring opened.....but it only lasted a few months and then I was right back to the same things... throwing up all the time... whenever we went out to eat I NEVER ordered a plate... and I ALWAYS spotted the bathroom since I knew I would throw up.... I learned to live that way for 6 years and then decided to look into getting the surgery reveresed or to a rny and my best bet was the rny and I am so glad I did.....
My first surgery weight was 227 and I am 5'1" and the second surgery weight was 205 so I didnt keep off the weight.....
To me thats why its so important to research your surgery even though nothing really prepares you for the mental part of all the weight loss and changes your body goes through....
I am losing slowly now but I am doing fitday.com this week to see what I am not getting enough of... and it really makes me eat correctly when I do watch it.....
