21 March 2007 Posted by sstasevich user_popup.png Well: I went to my surgeon's office today, and still no fill. He asked me if chicken breast, or bread was hard to swallow? I said yes. Well,,, that changed everything. He see's a 6lb. loss in 7 weeks. He only want's a pound a week that's it! A pound and a half is to much. So calculateing, surgery probably put weight on or held the same, and the knee is 1/2lb.

more, then your original knee. Sooo,, in his eyes I am rite in there. I thought I was going to hit the floor. He told me "This is a very slow go,

and you already took out 1/2 of the 50lbs. that you are entitled to for a year!, What else do you want?"Welll???,,, I hate to admit it, but he is very much on target I weighed 231 at surgery, 204 today=27lbs. in 5 months. Maybe under 200lbs. in another month . I just have to keep plugin along, and I guess I will. I'm in this for the long haul. So far I have lost 152lbs. since I started my journey. Shirley... 03/21/07. I'm loseing my patients, I want to see under 200lbs...

Girl you have done Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Wow! Congratulations on losing all that weight! I can feel your frustration with your doctor. You'll get there!! You said you lost 152 pounds- when did you lose the rest? I see you have lost 27 pounds in 5 months (after surgery). The only other thing I could suggest it to find another doctor to do your fills? I would think the doctor would be okay with losing more than 1 pound per week?

I regained almost all of it, because he said he blew the band, and wouldn't touch me.

It took a,most 3 years, and one of his students (Now a Dr.) He took me in under his wing,

and he knows the Surgeon was a real ---------------! So he felt sorry for me, and found out he was full of B.S.

not me. (HE LIED AND SAID i DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM, AND ONLY ATE Cookies, CAKE, PIES ETC) I went Hugh!

If that's true? How did I lose all that weight? Good Question ! They never included my weights, when I transferred

my records..... I wonder why??? Also,, the band was not blown, he deflated it, and told me it was blown. Was I pissed...

So anyway, I am starting over, and still losing weight, about 2lbs. a week.

He is fine with 2-3lbs a week.

Hope you enjoyed my journal.

There is also 1 and 2 besides 3. if yu didn't see them.

      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.
