Kathy; Sorry you've had so many problems with strictures. Has your surgeon been able to give you a diagnosis as to how long to expect having dilations? Blessings, Jennifer

Hello, I forget to check out this forum. I am 11/29/05, just had my year pass. And proud to say I am down 105 pounds as of this morning. I am 2 pounds from Dr.s goal and about 22 pound from my goal. It is going very very slow now, but still moving down maybe a pound or two a month. I am totally happy with where I am at right now, but would like to get rid of this stubborn tummy I have left. I know there is a lot of skin there but there is also still some fat there that I would like to get rid of. Anyway, feeling great, energy is great, levels are great. Shannon 257/152/130???

Jennifer, Congrats on making goal. That is a awesome gift for you.

This is dumping. Early dumping happens within 30 minutes of the food you just ate. Late dumping happens 1 to 3 hours after you ate. As I have gotten further out my body is dumping more and it is more of the late dumping. Amy
