Take measurements. i take them once a month: breast, chest (just under the boobs), waist, hips, both thighs, both calves, both upper arms, neck. Several times in months I lost less, I lost more inches and vice versa. Its weird, but it helps to know I'm still on the right track.

Its hard to believe that this kind of surgery has been around this long already. Yes I had this done 45 years ago in Traverse City at Munson Hospital. Back then it was an open surgery they staple the stomach and create a small pouch then it is bypassed to the jejunum. While they were doing this surgery back then all the organs were removed and cleaned out. You stayed in the hospital for 2 weeks or so, much different then how it is done now adays. I have maintained the weight loss over the years, however, there was a few years when I had put on up to 40 pounds and just started slowly getting it back off once I realized what I was doing.

I agree that you probably have lost inches. Do your clothes fit a little different?? The first place I actually noticed loss was in my face when I had sleeve surgery almost 3 years ago now. Allie in SC Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

You can be losing inches and not weight.

I'm thinking that i'm going to give one of those services a try that send you a few sets of clothes and you return them after you wear them and they send you more. You can change the sizes as you lose. There's also a site that sells gently used items...I think it's thread up.

It should only take a few days for your Dr to get the results of your clinic sleep study and write the order for the CPAP(I had to have all that done through my PCP even though it was for my surgery). Once you have the order for the CPAP, it only takes a few days to get in and get fitted for the machine. I absolutely hate mine but I had to be compliant for a month before they would schedule my surgery. The company that provides the CPAP will monitor your usage and when your time is up, you can ask them to fax in a transcript to your surgeon's office.

Wow, you are just into this. Did they do the surgery laparoscopy or open. I am praying that mine will not be open!

Congrats! I had mine July 1st. So far no regrets and no complications 🤞🏽 I’m walking 30 mins daily on my treadmill and keeping clear fluids down. Next week I can start full liquids. Hope that goes smoothly as well.

Have you tried actually eating more calories and shocking your body into weight loss again?

If your past tries to call, don't answer. It has nothing new to say.
