Almost 20 pounds per month sounds great to me. Awesome job.

I was sleeved 6/12 and lost 20 preop and 20 since surgery. I am a little bummed too :( I was hoping for more. But if we follow directions I think it will start coming off, at least I hope!

I was sleeved the day after you and have lost 29 pounds since surgery, 34 in total. I'm just trusting the process, doing what I'm supposed to do, and letting the scale be. I'm not going to fret about it. That's what I have to tell myself ever day so that I don't obsess about every little up or down. After years of obsessing about my weight, I need to just trust that this will work.

You don't have in your profile what your weight/BMI etc... If you started out at 5'9" and weighed 200 and now weigh 163, that is outstanding! If you are 5'2" and weighed 600 and now weigh 563, I would be a little concerned.

On face value, your loss looks very good. Are you exercising daily? What foods have you introduced? Remember the goal in the early days is to set yourself up with lifelong habits.

I was sleeved on June 9 and have lost 40 pounds total (14 during pre-op diet and 26 post-op). I've stalled twice already but I am very satisfied with the amount of weight loss. I have tried to lose weight MANY times before but at about the 25 lbs. lost mark I usually began to have huge cravings and craved in. I had absolutely no will power at all - but not this time. I am following the guidelines and do not feel as though I'm missing anything. I am breathing SO much better already and have become pretty active compared to my previously sedentary life. So whether it takes me 8 months or 2 years to lose my extra weight I am progressing every day and this time I know that it is only a matter of time and my ability to be patient.

      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?
