Hi Kris and welcome to our wonderful group! You have questions, we

have answers! Yes, it is possible to become anorexic after gastric

bypass. My goal was to weigh 150 lbs and I now weigh 133 lbs and it

hasn't been a year yet. Dec 16 I will be 1 year out. I am still losing

weight but I am happy where I am now. I am 5'8 " and 133 lbs so I am

pretty thin, but my surgeon says if it doesn't stop soon, there are

some sort of pills they will give me to help the weight loss to stop.

I can't imagine having to take something so I won't lose anymore! I

was 298 lbs when I started and 133 lbs now, it is awesome!! Anyhow,

welcome to the group. in CA

wow! what a weight loss! congratualations! i actually can imagine what it's

like being told you're too thin. When i was going through the initial process

of this I was told that I would have to GAIN 12 pounds in order to qualify lol.

I just looked at her and said " forget that! i'm not going to gain weight in

order to lose weight " . luckily i didn't have to gain because i have enough

co-morbidities.

Hey Kris welcome!

You sound a lot like me. I'm 5'2 " and weigh 220. I am in insurance limbo going

for appeal number 2. I also have 3 beautiful girls. They are 8, 5 and 3 and I

can't wait for my surgery to get approved so I can stop watching and start

living.

I had to gain about 12 lbs to qualify and I have no co-morbidities. I topped

out at 290. I weighed in today at 257.2. Surgery date set for January 3rd.
