Am I stuck not being able to take time-released meds forever or can they be taken again after a certain amount of time? I know that the pouch messes with the way they are supposed to be absorbed, but I wasn't sure if that "side-effect" goes away eventually or not. 
Thanks!

I cannot imagine you'd be stuck not taking them forever......I think that's a question best asked by your doctor. How's the weight loss coming? Boy you've done so great to date!

That's accurate as of this morning. 
I think I am going to end up lower than 165 in the end, though... Only ~20 lbs away just ~6 months out of surgery...
And also I can see and feel plenty of fat left on me. I still have a good amount to lose on my stomach and hopefully my back. If I don't lose some off my back I think I am going to look really weird with such a thick upper torso and skinny lower torso. 
Plus I will lose a little more once I have the excess skin removed after I am finally done losing. 
My waist has continued to shrink. My 32" waist jeans I JUST bought after Christmas just about fall off of me without a belt on now, even after a fresh wash.

So you are for sure going to do the skin? Have you priced that out yet?
I'm sure genetics plays a part in the fat loss.....anyone in your family with a bigger upper body?

I know it would help a lot with the loose skin, I need to get motivated. I am taking a bowling class, so I get a good workout from that and playing on my own 3-4 times a week.

Low 100's. 
Top score is 124. I know I suck, lol.
I'm getting better, though. I used to be happy to hit 50.
