I had the same condition and a couple of surgeries later I am left with 4 feet of small intestine. So I have the exact opposite problem with weight gain.

If anyone figures out a way to send me the extra 'tonnage', I'll take all I can get. It is as difficult for me to put it on as it is for those to take it off.

So to everyone, good luck achieving your target weights, I am always striving for mine.

Cheers,
