I'm skeptical about his 150 pound loss. It looks more like twice that.
I lost 292 pounds down to my low. And his before-and-afters look a lot like mine.
I stopped telling "normal" people how much I had lost after a while. or lowered the number by a lot. After telling a few people I had lost almost 300 pounds, I actually had people tell me I was lying. The first couple of times I was shocked. I guess that's just the way people think, unfortunately.

A long shot since your post was years ago. But did she have the surgery? Did she tell her Dr? Reseaofor a friend
I know this is a long shot because this post was years ago. But did she have the surgery was she ok? A close friend is doing the same researching answers

Hi! Yep, I've read your posts and you're one of the few active people who have had the same surgery!
I don't have a great answer for why...this is unplanned loss that started when I had some nasty GI symptoms kick in last month. I know I have bile reflux after my gallbladder removal (EGD showed it two weeks ago) but don't think that's the core of what's going on. There's huge intestinal involvement. It hurts to eat and I end up with a couple of hours of pain with most food now. It feels like I'm back at day 1 restriction and have to force myself to eat.
My WLS clinic is hanging their hat on reflux and put me on ursodiol and levsin. It's helping but I'm still hurting and losing weight I shouldn't be. I woke up with neuropathy on top of it all a couple of weeks ago.
Short answer...not fully sure what's going on and I'm trying to work through my WLS clinic and PCP to figure it out. If you've experienced something similar, would love to compare notes!

I also had the Sadi but mine was in 2014. I'm curious why you suddenly dropped 22 in month 9.

Thanks for sharing. I like his, "Can I just walk the earth please? " push back on people who always have something to say about how you look over time.

I think diet is very important, even though doctors ignore it

I used Dr Rohit Patel- Cooper Hosp in Camden
His team is very thorough!!! I had vsg June 2012
Wow. Such blatantly inappropriate conduct from a surgical practise is something I have never heard of. If you can convince someone, get them to contact the office and claim they are calling from your lawyer's office (just make up a phoney name) and that they are calling to let them know that if they don't speak to the doctor ASA-friggin'-P, they will be filing a complaint with the state medical board.
