Hi stromgardgirl, Well, basically the same thing happened to me. I was eating right and exercising my butt off, only to find that I did not lose a pound. When 2 months have past I still weighed the same. I contacted my primary doctor and she wanted me to do a thyroid test. BINGO! My thyroid was 30. The normal range is .03 to 5.5... Once she put me on the med they weight fell off. It took me 2 months to lose 24 lbs. Something to look at... Pam

Hey feedyoureye, Are you close to North Highlands? Maybe us 3 can get together... I would love to meet a friend who is going through wls.... What do you guys think? Pam

Hey hugsamber, My doctor is Dr. IM. I heard of Baggs because he is in the head man there...Well, at least to my understanding when it comes to WLS. Are you close to North Highlands? Pam

Hi All, My journey started in May 2010. When I was fighting myself out of a chair, I knew something needed to change. I weighed in at 240 lbs. I went to my doctor and requested WLS. Since I am a Kasier memeber, the process was very easy to get started. Since I live in Sacramento, I had to travel to Richmond for all of the classes. After going to ALL the classes, tests, (blood work, ekg, etc) lost the weight that my doctor wanted (20 lbs), I got my date! This morning I'm at 216. My surgeon wanted me down to 220. So kuddos to me... On November 1st, I will be have my sleeve done. 15 days to go and counting... I want to WISH everyone luck! Pam
