6weeks out and slow loosing



Recommended Posts

So im 6 weeks out from surgery and ive only lost 40 lbs! Is this a low weight loss for 6 weeks??? I was hoping to have finally hit 50lbs or over by now. Also my weight keeps shifting between 2 and 3 lbs for the past week, is this normal???

ha ha...I am with Trenya...I don't expect to have lost 40 lbs by 6 weeks...I am hoping to reach 30 lbs by then, but I am at a stall right now for the last couple of days--that is discouraging

At my 1 month post op, I had lost 15 lbs (according to his records... He had my pre-op weight lighter than my scales.... 24 according to mine). He said he wants to see me at 25-30 lbs TOTAL LOST by my 3 month check up. Seriously? I hope I hit that goal by Month 2! You are doing GREAT!

Angel Eyez......That is a great weight loss! My surgeon told me average weight loss is 20-30 so 40 is great! Congrats!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
