I wad banded 4/6 and lose 1-2 lbs per week but for me even though I get on the scale about once or twice a week I try to make my official weight a day or so after my cycle.because I can gain 2-5 lbs the week before then the week of the cycle with bloating etc.so for me if it looks like I haven't lost in a couple of weeks I see what time of the month it is.if it's before my cycle I'm not so worried if it's right after then I try to see what i may not be doing right or have changed.

How much food are you actually eating? My doctor says 3 oz solid potein plus low fat/cals/carbs veggies. How long can you go after eating before feeling hungry? Is it less than 4.5-5 hrs? If it is you need more fill. It can take up to 2 weeks for a fill to take affect. Before true restriction you get some restriction with a fill but it can go away a couple days after the fill.

food choices this is a big one. Sorry but the wheat thins and fries have to go. There are about 120 cals in about 10 wheat thins. Trust me that's not a lot of crackers. People normally underestimate the amounts they are eating.

As mentioned earlier your exercise habits are another important aspect. My doctor says at least 30 minutes a day 7 days a week.

I am at restriction, exercise 1.5-2.5 hrs 7 days a week, eat less than 1200 and lose less than 1 lb a week.

      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.
