I have had lots of complications, post op and even now. I wish I could say I maintained my goal BUT I have trouble keeping weight on.
I have LOST 2/3's of my body weight, 234 pounds, and weigh 117. With a BMI of 19.5. |
I am sorry you've had so many complications. I know that now the procedures are less risky than they were when you had the surgery done. I am curious, what things were you not told? Congratulations on losing as much weight as you have so far!
