My first NSV- 2 months after surgery



Recommended Posts

I have been banded a little over 2 months and have lost 22 pounds to date. Although I am thrilled at the number, I have been discouraged at the fact that the scale has only moved 3-4 pounds in the past 4 weeks. I stumbled upon a picture at my friends babyshower, which was taken 2 weeks before my surgery and HOLY COW, I have my first NSV!!!:smile2:2rfarex.jpg[/img]

My surgery was on a Monday and I went back to work the following week. I don't have to do alot of walking at work so I felt ready to return.

Thanks for the positive comments!

I feel silly asking, but what does NSV mean?

Lemon it means non scale victory, things you notice about yourself during weight loss

Thanks, gwenny. I guess then, I can say that I have had a couple NSV's by fitting into some clothes I hadn't worn in awhile. :smile2:

IMO I think taking pictures every 2 weeks is really important! It's great to compare them all and see the differences.

You look awesome!!

I lost 12 pounds the first week after surgery, my husband keeps telling me how much weight I lost. I feel like 12 pounds isn't much but it really is!

You look great girl! Keep it up!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
