How much are you guys losing each month?? I am 5'11 and my starting weight was 344. The first month I lost 27lbs. The second month I lost 13lbs, and now I'm a little more than have way through this month with 14lbs lost. With a total of 54lbs! I would love to know your progress!! :)

I think the mistake a lot of WLS patients make is thinking about weight loss the same way they might if they were on a diet. When you are on a diet, you want to lose weight FAST and get to goal ASAP so the diet will be "over". With WLS, it's never "over". So whether it takes you 6 months or 16 months to get to goal, it doesn't matter. As long as you eventually get there and can MAINTAIN it once you are there. Ten years from now, no one's going to be looking back and saying to themselves "if only I could have gotten to goal one month sooner!".

@Seamster44 Your loss is incredible! You are doing fantastic. I wish I could lose at that rate, I don't let go of the weight fast, never have... but I tend to lose pretty steadily. I am grateful for every pound I lose, lol. I am Insulin resistant, PCOS, and now menopausal LOL. Yet I am 100% sure I will make it to goal, even if I turtle my way there. My 3 months of losses are -19, -6, and -7 I think... I am down 34 lbs now in just over 3 months.

@☁9⃣B I am losing at about the same rate as you! In fact our stats are almost identical... I started at 250, at 216 now... and am giving myself a year to lose 100 lbs.

I m with you on this sister... Weight loss is happening slow and steady.... Again no complains... Just making it a point to stay focused and positive...

At this point that's the only key ☺️

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
