I am 8 weeks post op (4/11) and seem to have hit a stall again. I have been at 156.5 for about 2 weeks now. Can't help but worry because this is the weight that my body has stopped at everytime I have lost weight in the past. I am not freaking yet...LOL.. just a lil nervous. I plan to keep on keepin on and hopefully my sleeve will take care of me this time. Don't get me wrong.. I am thrilled and totally satified with my results so far... I just want past this brick wall. I am so close to being OVERWEIGHT.. I can smell it. (8 pounds).

Kathy, It's called a set point (not sure where I read that). It's a weight where your body was once very comfortable. I stuck at 262 for what seemed like forever because I was at 262 for a couple of years on my way UP the scale. It only makes sense for the body to stick there on the way down the scale, too. It's a place that is familiar and comfy for your body. Keep doing what you're supposed to be doing (protein, Water and exercise) and the scale WILL move!! :)

      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.
