huligoo 75 Posted August 7, 2013 this appt? Does the Dr. request more labs and go over your current daily menu? I am a slow loser ...I have lost more inches than pounds...I was wearing a 3x shirt and 24w pants and now.... I can wear size 18 pants and 1x shirts ....but the scale is not showing drastic pounds being lost.... Inches lost is still a wonderful thing too...I am happy with that.... and my follow up appt is Aug 14th..... I have Kaiser insurance and so far everything has been pretty good.

Arts137 1,811 Posted August 7, 2013 With my surgical follow-ups, they look at the scars, ask questions and assuming all is AOK, you're outa there. 5 minutes, tops... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indigo1991 1,612 Posted August 7, 2013 Yup me too, in to the office, looked at my scars, weighed me, asked if all was well, then out the door - painless! As for the inches rather than scale movement, I am always in awe of how the sleeve works. I have been stalled for 4 weeks in terms of my weight. Although I am being patient, I have upped my Protein and fluids to give my body a bit of a kick. scales haven't moved but yesterday I tried on a top I bought a month ago that was too small when I bought it but I loved it (I looked as if I had been stuffed in it, lol) and knew I would fit it eventually. Well "eventually" came yesterday - the scales read the same but I have gone down almost a whole size in the last month and I look great in the top, with room to spare!!!! So inches or llbs, it's all working for me - hope it keeps working for you, the scales will move but inches matter just as much :-)))) 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heyher 581 Posted August 7, 2013 They made a comment on how I have freakishly narrow hips. (Gee thanks. Now I feel like I'm a whale built like Gru. Whale comment refers to one if my threads on the rant & race board) They asked how I was doing. Asked about food and Water. Told me good job and sent me on my way. Oh and they solicited me for the panel at one of their seminars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
