Cindy, prior to surgery we are urged to lose weight as it makes the surgery

easier, so many do lose prior to surgery. I lost 7# in 10 months, and that

was the hardest weight I ever lost, so in the stats:

282pre-op/275surg/240/140 : so for me the 1st is the weight when I first

decided to have the surgery, 2nd is the weight the day of surgery, 3rd is

current weight, and 4th is goal weight.

BTW, I had to ask too. I have a friend who lost 40# prior to surgery, and

after the 1st month she'd lost I think 30#. I keep telling her to say she's

lost 70#. She really deserves the credit losing that much weight prior to

surgery.

I also had the problem with constipation. When I saw my surgeon on

my 5 wk check up and I told him about the problem he said this was

not good. I had to get my bowels started again, So I had to do the 8

ozs of Magnesium Citrate again, was worse going down this time b/c I

had to drink it even slower took me about 30 mins. I thought I was

never going to gget it down...YUK!!!!!

He also prescribed Mirelax which I have to take every day in juice

or apple sauce.

So dont worry every one goes thru this sooner or later,,,,
