The end of May 2015 I had gastric bypass surgery, so far I've lost over 100 pounds. It has been an incredibly trying process but in the end I'm currently at a "healthy" or "normal" BMI, I feel so much more healthy and am more comfortable in my own skin

Hello all,

I am almost 6 months post op and am losing a ton of hair, I feel pretty bald. I am wondering how long everyone lost hair for and how much hair did you lose? Also, how long did it take for you to start regrowing hair? I had thin fine

I had my 3 month check up yesterday, I've lost almost 80 pounds, 53% of my excess weight. My surgeon and nutritionist were both blown away, they said that my weight loss reflects that of someone 6 months out. Yay!

Hello, I am just over 2 months post op and for the most part I do feel like I am VERY slowly getting back to normal but this past week has been a completely different story. I have no diet restrictions but honestly I still eat mostly soft food and my e

I want to share this with all of you, my sister had a RNY about 7 years ago, she is an amazingly strong woman and has been my hero for as long as I can remember. She has a blog where she talks about her surgery along with other things. Feel free to che

Real quick question for my girls out there... I had my surgery on May 26th so I'm almost a month out and I haven had my period since a week before surgery. Is that normal? Anyone else have that issue? 

I think I may be a bit backward but my goal weight for myself has alway been 160. That's what I weighed in high school and I felt great at that. By nutritionist said she thinks I could get to 135 and maybe settle at 140. Am I being too easy on myself?

I am new here and have posted a lot, oddly they are not showing so I hope this one makes it. I just want to say I love how supportive everyone is and I love seeing all of the success stories. It really give me hope because I feel sick and worn out all

Hello, just wondering if anyone had a lot of hair loss after surgery?

I have been pretty sick from pretty much everything and feel like I'm not loosing much weight. I keep wondering if it is worth it and I feel a lot of regret. Is that normal? Anyone else wish they hadn't had the surgery? I had my roux-en-y on May 26th.

Hello,

I had surgery on May 26th and I still feel nauseous whenever I eat and drink. I'm in the soft food stage of my diet but even things like yogurt and water still make me sick. I've tried cold, warm and room temp fluids but it doesn't seem
