Hi Jessica~ Your loss is outstanding!! I am sorry to hear your in pain. Have you tried Prilosec? it's an rx antacid, but also coats the tummy. I have been on them since the very start, it helps with digestion and pain in my pouch. I had the same problem as you (it sounds). As the doc about it and let us know how your doing. Keep up the great work! Diane

Hiya' Jesi~ Thanks for the compliment and might I say you look great too....what a hottie! I am a little worried about the weight gain from having to eat more frequently now though. Although it has not happened yet, I still fear the gaining. This hypoglycemia is kicking my butt though, it is the worse damn feeling in the world. Just when I though I had it under control I had an attack the day I posted here (well that night). The doctors say I've probably been hypoglycemic all along, but before wls when my food intake was 3-4x as much I just never got attacks or never realized it. Anyhow~ my son is doing amazingly well in his program...I just miss him. My life is showing signs of stability though, so that is good. You keep up the good work Jesi....you look great! Diane

Hey Nona ~ It's good to see you too! I am so sorry to read of all the health issues you've been having and at the same time am happy it's nothing that can't be taken care of eventually. I hope your feeling 100% very soon. Take care! Diane

Hi there Jesi, How are you and everyone else? Well here is the update on me. I am feeling great. I now am holding steading at 130-135 pds. I weighed 245lbs at the day of my surgery. I have lost a total of 115 pds and really don't come too much under the 130 lbs mark. I am 5ft6, so that is enough. I am slim and don't really want to lose more. I was wearing between a size 26/28 before my surgery and now am wearing a size 6 or 8. I feel great. My bloodwork is great. The Dr has cut my Iron tablets down to 3 times a week, instead of everyday. I now can digest food much better.I take my vitamins religously if I do nothing else right for the day.I do find those food demons are still here with me everyday. I guess for the rest of my life I will battle this.I will stay strong and try to eat very healthy. As far as my body skin hanging .... My butt, breasts and thighs are very loose. I can't afford to fix them yet. My insurance will cover the LBL but I really don't have much skin hanging there. I am a nurse so my arms and Lower Body (the Apron ) is not hanging. I use them constantly and they stayed firm. I do wear those wonderful wonderbras. I hope you get well in time for your surgery. Take care Jesi and to all that read this post. Diane ... Please post again so I can read your wisdom. & (((((((((HUGS)))))))) Lorraine
