michelecaples 224 Posted February 8, 2013 I found out that surgeons goals are def not the same as ours! Ive lost 55 in 4 months and he says I will be at his goal in 5 more lbs! Wtf. They swear that 60 percent if excess weight is the norm. Im thinking my butt better lose another 45! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted February 8, 2013 I go in for my year follow up on the 28th. Im excited to step on the scale in thier office. Hell, I hope they make me a spokesperson or something... lol. Michele... my surgeon wanted me at 175.. I dont really get it because I would have still been considered overweight on the BMI chart. How did everything else go othere then his lame goal... Let us know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michelecaples 224 Posted February 8, 2013 Everything went great. I was just shocked that they were pleased with my loss. Most people have lost at least 60to70 by this point. I havent even been able to exercise at all until yesterday. Im hoping to really knock this out and get to a very healtjy weight 1 fabie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kisersassy 369 Posted February 19, 2013 No nothing just that I wasn't that big to start with so it will be slow. Which is totally different then what was said when I first started out. Was told I would lose 100 pounds in first 4 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
