Beachbunny replied to hotpink7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Zen , it could be true that you are losing inches more than weight. Since july ive been getting measured every friday and ive lost an incredible 49.50 inches , ive lost weight too but no where near the amount of inches. I went from a size 12 to 8 , and now in a size six dress!!! ive lost about 31 lbs since july. Ive learned that not everyone loses the same way and you need to find a way that your body loses. -

True Results in Houston .. Adjustment
Beachbunny replied to bashy611's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
thats good if it works for you , personally id rather see my surgeon and his staff for fills -
I work in the Dental field and Drs are often trained in continuing ed that if they call personally for "bigger" procedures , the patient is less likely to fail their appt. All my surgeons patients have his cell number to call him anytime after surgery

Hello, There are many times i get frustrated as well. A few things i have learned along the way are 1. you don't always lose weight ,but may lose inches 2. you can and do plateau 3. Your stomache is the size of a egg now so eat according to that size. Protein first! 4. its a long journey and takes a year and a half for lapbanders to catch up with bypass patients. hope this helps, Jennifer

How many of you have hypothyroidism?
Beachbunny replied to spoiltmom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not only do i have hypothyroidism, i have hoshimotos disease, its been hard !! ive had my dose upped once since losing weight. my symptoms would be a pressure headache and feeling like im walking sideways...off balance. Oh and i switched recently from my endocrynologist to my primary care for treatment. My primary gives me synthroid not the generic. He feels thyroid meds are like heart medication...you only should get the real deal. -
