8/12 and I'm down 26 lbs. from surgery date, 31 lbs. from start. You are going a lot faster than I am, but I'll take whatever I can get. I'm over 50, had a starting BMI right at 36, and have a slow metabolism. But I've gone from 18/20 and XXL to 14/16 and size M in nine weeks, so I'm happy. Been stalled 2 weeks, too.

hello near-twin!! I was 8/2, i've lost 35, I'm 47, my BMI was 37, slow metabolism, gone from18/20 to 16 (in xl or L still I think) in 10 weeks and I've stalled at least 3-4 weeks total and I too am happy.

I tell you what, if you're not 30 years old, we're going to have a whole different trajectory of weight loss aren't we?

I'm happy with my loss of 51 lbs sleeved on 8/16. I've had fluctuating last two weeks and loss has slowed . Dispute I'm feeling better and learning my body. I'm trying to ensure exercising 4 days a week min. I seem to loose more when I'm on top of my Water intake! Enjoying reading everyone's experiences

I am definitely not on track for 100+ lbs in six months (how DO they do that?!?)

VSG on Aug 15 -- weight on first appointment was 283, day of surgery 271, today 241 for a total loss of 42 lbs from start to finish, from day of surgery 30 lbs.

I'm in my 60's.

Fast loser' date=' slow loser ... I guess I just never understood why it matters. It's like a marathon ...there are some people that can get it done in 2.5 hrs, most take 4.5, but they still cheer when somebody walks across the finish at 6 hrs. Just keep running, when you can't run anymore walk ... just finish.[/quote']

:) : clap clap clap.... <-- that's me right now clapping away!!!!! Couldn't say it any better than you...

Hey, your doing great. I was sleeved August 13th, and have only lost 18lbs. I know better than nothing, but does tend to hurt my feelings. I weighed 236 surgery day, and today 218. I so wanted to be under 200 by this time. But didn't happen so I gotta buck up and carry on.

      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.
