mrsto 2,925 Posted April 8, 2013 The first time you go to the Dr. and they dont have to move the weight on the scale to the 200 mark is one of those moments you go WOW I did it!!!! Im down to 189. Go for my third fill on the 16th. No fill my last appt. because I had lost 8 lbs. I definately would do this all over again. My goal is 150. I feel so much better losing these 40 pounds. I did have the bad gas pains but it goes away. I could not have worked after my surgery. I was lucky to be able to take a week off afterwards. Good Luck to you its worth every struggle. How long did you have the gas pains? I'm at two weeks, and it's getting really old. I only feel it in my shoulder at times, but when I do, it's pretty bad.

bandedsinger 20 Posted April 8, 2013 I weighed myself today and I am in the 100's !!!! I had surgry 1/29/13 and have been working really hard to get there. I stalled for 2 weeks but the scale is moving down again. I am so happy. That's so great!! I can't wait for that number myself. I'm a little under 5 lbs away right now, but I feel I have been waiting for that moment forever. We have a scale in our house that talks to you. I'm wondering if it even knows how to say any number in the 100's. The only people that step on that scale are myself, my husband and my son..lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shady2121 74 Posted April 9, 2013 I feel your pain it was at least two weeks maybe longer. I even called the Dr.s office and they said it just last longer on some people. I used the icy hot Patches, heating pad. I got so tired of it too. Now when I have eaten too much that is where it hurts me, in my left shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
