I feel so discouraged right now. I am not losing weight and my hunger pangs are terrible. Again Feb 1st 260 lbs...today 215 lbs...My doctor told me that he expected more weight loss from me and told me that I was gonna fail at this but wont be the first. I just see everyone else losing lots of weight...why not me? Sleeved 2/27/13!

Your doctor is being way too hard on you. I was also sleeved in February (25th to be exact), I've lost 30lbs.

We are all different a lose weight at different rates. Most of my weight loss was before my surgery.

Celebrate your loss! Keep doing what you are doing, its working. Rather than seeing another surgeon, maybe you can start seeing a nutritionist that is familiar with the sleeve. Mine is wonderful and she has never once questioned the rate of my loss and helped me set nutritional goals. Just another option.

Take care. And be proud of your accomplishments.

      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.
