You are doing great!! Losing is a stair step process... Lose, pause, lose, pause... Also everyone loses at different rates, that's why it's wonderful that this experience is a marathon, not a race :)

Hi Elizabeth, My surgery was 7/11 and I've lost about 20 pounds since my surgery (approx 5 weeks). I'm thrilled with the 20 pounds because I know without this surgery there is no way I would have lost 5 let alone 20. All the research I've done, Reading I've done, Websites I've visited have shown me that every person's journey is their own. BELIEVE ME I have to keep myself in check as well. It's so easy to compare journeys but, that only puts unnecessary pressure on ourselves. Sounds like you're eating right and exercising so it's going to come off...your body is adjusting right now but, the scale will move. As my surgeon said she's never seen this surgery not work if folks follow the rules.

Heck ya, I think we all want the weight off NOW...but, it won't happen that way. It's a life long journey even after hitting your own goal. We will always be a work in progress even after hitting goal.

Congrats on great weightloss! Celebrate it! :)

      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.
