Malyss 31 Posted February 18, 2012 The month is definitely flying by. I just had my PAT this morning. I don't trust the hospital's scales and I'm looking forward to getting back on my doctor's scales at some point. The hospital's scale had me down from 350lbs to 321lbs. I've definitely lost some weight on the pre op diet, but I doubt that I've lost that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newstart4me 5 Posted February 27, 2012 When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go' date=' to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? <img src='http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com//public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/animated_smilies/welcome.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':welcome:' />[/quote'] Dr. Kim did my surgery. I just had it on the 23rd. I am ready for the journey. 1 Dooter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marykatherine 38 Posted March 3, 2012 Had my surgery on 2/2/2012. No problems recovering but am a bit down now that I am 4 weeks out. Weight loss has slowed down to nothing. Anyone having this difficulty? How about a word of encouragement? Keep going everyone. No turning back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommy794 119 Posted March 3, 2012 Same here ! Losing slow or stopping here n there but I exspected it since I was a lower BMI but I guess that's better than not at all or losing 30 and gaining back 35 and never getting even close to what I want to weigh like I have the past 17 yrs. I guess slow n steady wins the race right???? Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone having this difficulty? How about a word of encouragement? Keep going everyone. No turning back! You only have 15% of your original stomach (approximately). It can't NOT happen if you're being a good girl!! Just be patient. Avoid sliders, drink your Water, do your exercising ...it WILL happen!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
