zero weight loss

[AmberWarstler 14]

I don't know what to think. At one of my visits with his PA they mentioned that he does everyone's stomach the same size but I personally never got to see a pic of after surgery. He's a very well known surgeon so I just have no idea what's up. Onething I do know is I want some questions answered and I want this fixed.

Write down your questions so you are armed and clear minded (as much as can be) at your appointment. I would be so mad that I would not ask or screw up my questions.

For someone your height my practice recommended 80 grams of Protein and less that 50 carbs

Check your carbs. While you are in the weight loss phase there is really no reason to eat carbs at all as they can stall your progress.

As others have pointed out, get your sleeve checked to see if you may need a revision. If not enough stomach was removed then you will lose less than other people as you won't have the same restriction level.

Finally, make sure you are eating enough calories. If you eat too few calories your body will go into starvation mode and will cling desperately to every calorie you have stored.

I just had my sleeve checked yesterday. The man who did my upper GI said my stomach is "Of average size, not tiny." He actually thought I was there pre op, not post op . I am due to go back to my sugeon in acouple weeks and ill see what he says.

If your surgeon won't fix it for free, I would sue for malpractice.

So..after two more appointments I finally convinced my surgeon to send me out for an upper gi and take a look at the size of my stomach. Results show my stomach is average size. Not small, not tiny, not baratric size. Which confirms how I've been feeling about my portions. I see my surgeon in a couple weeks to see where I go from here. I am SO frustrated.

Wtf? What did they do when in there?#lawsuit

I'm at a loss, I feel like I should have requested earlier to SEE how much stomach they took out. I just don't understand what happened. I'm from a small town and since my surgery Ive known 3 other women personally who had the same surgery by the same doctor, infact and they have all shed their weight just like any other patient would..not me. One woman I keep in contact with almost daily and she would tell me "Amber, how in the heck are you eating that much??" I'd show her pics of my steamed veggies and salmon etc and tell her 2hrs later I'm hungry. It was making me think something was wrong with me but the PA's wouldn't do anything accept say I was a slow loser and then put me on diet pills about 40 days ago. I was supposed to see my sugeon earlier this month and when I showed up they said they had mistakenly put me on the PA's schedule. I'm supposed to see my surgeon again and this time I will demand to see him if something changes.
