i hope the one stretch works for you

i had to go in on 11/6 because it was completely closed they had to probe it open and went to 10mm then the next day went to 13 - sent me home i felt GOOD
on 11/14 started having trouble again on 11/16 went back in it had closed down to 10mm again so they took me to 13mm and than the next day to 16mm
on 12/4 started having trouble went in 12/6 for another scope i dont know what i was down to but they took me up to 14mm than on 12/7 to 16mm again and on 12/8 to 18mm in hopes that it would stay open...they were a little concerned it would stay to open and i would be hungry sooner but at that point i said fine i will work at it if i must i was sick of throwing up and not being able to eat...

That was it since than it has stayed open and i have had no trouble, i have felt like my tummy does empty quick but i can deal with it at least i have not thrown up since Dec. and my weight loss is ok i am at 5 months out and have already lost 75% of the weight i needed to lose ad if i stayed at 158 i would be fine i can wear a size 12 in every kind of jeansand sometime i can wear as small as an 8 i like the way i feel and look i would love to have the extra skin removed but will wait until i am at least a year out and the weight is steady because i think i am no longer losing felt stuck at 160 and i get on the scale and i am down another 2 lbs

weighed 158.5 last night hubby is still at 148 i know he has a very physical job which helped him go from 176 to 148 but i am trying to feed him more because i want to weigh less than him! but on a good note he can pick me up now and he likes to throw me over his shoulder and mess with me - (I LOVE IT)

good luck with the stricture staying open!
