I had gallstones 2 months post op. They were giving me a lot of trouble. I couldn't get in touch with bypass doctor so I went through my PCP. I went to the ER the night of Jan 28th (2 months post op exactly). They took my gallbladder out Jan 30th. Surgeon said that the gallbladder should have came out when I had the bypass! My gallstones were in the opening duct of my gallbladder. Where are yours?

WAY to GOOOO Debbie! I am still in 18's... but they are getting loser... soon I will hit the 16's and join you. I am down 103 lbs. and very happy about it. I can actually cross my legs now lol.

OK, Dawn, I just ran your numbers: The "ideal" weight for someone who is 5'0", the number that would give you a BMI of 25, is 128 lbs. My surgeon uses a BMI of 25 because after years of obesity our bones are heavier than average and the number that gives a BMI of 20-23 is actually going to be too low for a realistic goal. So, using that number, you started out at 220, with 92 excess pounds. You have lost 86 of them, which is 93.4% of your excess weight, which is WAY better than average. And you got there in only a little over 6 months! Your results have been fantastic and I am sure a size 9 looks good on you. If I were in your shoes, I would go ahead and start buying a new wardrobe.
