Let me re-introduce myself (with pics)

 Keri,

 I just wanted to thank you very much for sharing ur story, as that is my most biggest fear with WLS and after a year or so looking for my answer's i still really haven't come to any conclusion's, i'm now at my goal weight as of today and want to maintain as i am happy that i made it ( 150 lbs ) i know if i get a pani i will be lower of course and I'm ok with that, i guess its hard to deal with then i thought and the head still has to catch up ..

any was i to am an open book and I'm so very glad you are now seeking the help you need to stay healthy after all that is why we all had this surgery right ??

i wish you all the best in ur continued success with ur struggles in this journey .. ~ hugs ~ to you !!

stay strong you have amazing family and friends,

Joy

Keri- Thank you for putting yourself out there to educate us and potentially help someone in a similar situation.

You are one brave woman!

I appreciate you posting this as it seems so unlikely from the obese persons perspective that we could go the other way as well.

I will remember this post.

Thanks! Kristen

 Keri! My angel!

I am so glad to see you back... and glad to know how you are, even if you have struggled. 

I am not in the same boat... but can be support if you need! *HUG*

thank you for having the courage to tell us your story you dont know how many people you could help by doing so I am preop still but the strength you have is amazing hope things work themmselves out good luck stay strong :)

Hi Keri, good to see you. I am on the other end of the spectrum, after seeking help, I have been diagnosed with binging disorder. I am working with BANA. It is such a big help to have group support. Happy to hear you are getting help.

wow you are a beautiful woman ,,i do have a friend that had the same surgery and went threw what you did ,,she has almost died 3 times now and has had to have a few more surgerys..she admitted she didnt take all the vitiams she was suppose to ,,she just was released from the hospital last week and is doing well and hopefully on her way to a full recovery and is trying to gain some weight back,  having her go threw this kind of scared me but i am still going threw with it and am looking forward to a new me ..i have been pressured by friends not to go threw with it because of what happened to our friend ,,but i know this is a rare thing that happened to her and reading about the success on here has made me even more determined....good luck hon and thank you for sharing your story

I don't know how I missed this post, but I am so happy I have found it now.

Thanks for sharing your story and pictures.
