Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 Hi Everyone, I just had to share that I hit a new low earlier this week. I am now weighing in at 247. This makes for about a 73 loss so far. It seesm that I am still having some problems with pretty bad gas at night (bad being a KEY word here) and at times urgent BMs. Does this ever get better???? Thanks for listening TJ LAP DS 2/16/2001 DR.Dennis Marietta,GA 2/15/01 319.5 6/29/01 247 (my scales) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 TJ, I am pre-op, so I can't give personal experience. My research indicates that things may get better over the next couple of months. If things do not get better then you might need a revision which lengthens the common part of the small intestine. Do you happen to know the length the suregon choose for you? Congrats on the weight loss! Hull > > Hi Everyone, > I just had to share that I hit a new low earlier this week.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Congrats, TJ! (On the new low..) I'm still having that problem, too.. depending on what I eat when. But mine seems to hit in the evenings.. no going out for me for a bit... Hugs, Liane > > Hi Everyone, > I just had to share that I hit a new low earlier this week. I am now > weighing in at 247.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2001 Report Share Posted June 29, 2001 Hi TJ, Well, I can't answer your question about the gas, since I'm not a post-op yet, but I CAN congratulate you on your EXCELLENT weight loss!! That is so awesome!!!! You know, every time I read everyone's posts about how much they've lost, it gives me chills!! NO KIDDING!! It's just SO exciting!! Regarding the gas, maybe in a few months, I'll be writing the same question about that, and by then you'll be able to tell ME that it's much better!!

Which leads me to my next question...I didn't think they could reverse in a revision like this. I thought once they take it away the only thing they can do is make it smaller. Am I mistaken?
