Do you ever stop losing?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if you can stop weight loss if you feel you are at your ideal weight, and who decides your ideal weight? How do you maintain a healthy weight? I have never maintained a weight it has always fluxuated with me, alot. Also do they care if you used to be anorexic does that make any difference in there deciding if you are a canidate?

I don't know about the anorexic part, but I do feel that they would just let some saline out of your band and monitor you if you got too skinny. My doctor is wonderful and keeps very close tabs on his patients.

I just kind of lost slower and slower until it finally stopped. Now I maintain with no change in restriction.

Thankfully I stopped at BMI of 22 rather than say, 29. I am perfectly happy to call this goal.

i think they would be concerned about the anorexia. I am sure your dr would be interested in knowing how long ago you were anorexic and what type of treatment you got. Also, this is something that should be discussed during the psych. eval.

      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.
