KC,

Good question.....I'm 7 1/2 months post op. I've lost 83 lbs. My

common channel is 100 cm. I am 5'5 " , beginning weight was 274. I'm

happy with the length. My weight has steadily come off. I have

experienced some plateauing. I think alot of it is just my body

slowing down to readjust. I have never had any problems with my blood

work. So, I seem to absorb plenty of protein, calcium and iron and the

rest of whatever we have a tendency to lack. Maybe ADEK or something.

I do notice that people with shorter common channels seem to lose

faster initially. I don't know about the long term. Hope this helps.

Cindy

Cindy,

Thanks for your response. Do you mind sharing your goal weight? I'm

wondering if patients with a longer common channel experience fewer problems

with their blood work? Where are you from and who was your doc?

Congratulations on 83 lbs. Are you exercising?
