Seem to be stuck on a plateau. Is this common for a lot of you? When did you notice your plateaus? Tell us what you experienced with this.

I had a plateau 3 weeks after I had surgery. I lost a crazy amount of weight in those 3 weeks. Something like 25 pounds but then it just stopped! I was so frustrated because I didn't change anything and I was stuck for 5 days! I went on this site and people told me if my doctor gives me the ok, I should start slowly exercising. My doctor said it was fine so I hit the gym 4x a week for an hour and the weight started dropping again and kept dropping!

I have been around the same weight for 6 months. My doctor is pleased with what I weigh and said if I stay where I am he is thrilled. Ask your dietitian for help.

      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.
