    I wouldn't be nervous about not getting a response. You can research DR on healthgrades.com, vitals.com, obesityhelp.com to name a few. You can also google to get the physician look up web address for TN, you can search any doctor check their education, experience, any complaints, etc. I don't live in TN but my state has a website for that so I'm sure other states do too.

    Hey everyone! I'll have to stop my efforts for losing weight on Aug 3rd, because that's the day my wedding dress will be measured for alterations...and I can't risk it being too big on my wedding day (Sept 26th).
    So I'm going to give it all I got til Aug 3rd. I hope I can lose 14 more lbs. Then I guess I'll be at my ultimate goal of 150. I never did have the frame or bone structure to be petite. Below 150 is unachievable for me I think.
    Kinda bummed about "halting" my weight loss regimen, I don't know how to maintain, I have to go back and read the literature about the maintenance phase. It seems unfair to have lost all this weight, knowing I will gain some of it back during pregnancy. OH WELL. That's the way the cookie crumbles for me.
    I hope everyone is rockin and rolling.

    Hi glad to here about your progress. HW 342 SW 300 CW 228 SD 08/26/14. I had a long stall too from December to early February. My labs were great at my 6 month check up. I am going on a work trip this week and I have a bunch of office attire that I bought years ago too small. I bought it too small with hopes of fitting them soon. They fit!!!!! From size 22/24 to 14/16 so far. I can't wait to see my colleagues that I haven't seen for a while. I am so glad I decided to improve my life. I Hope everyone else is doing great.

    August 22 here! Hit ONEderland a couple of weeks ago, and am now down 40lbs! I feel like I'm finally getting into the "groove" of things as far as eating and exercise. For now, walking 5 days a week is working for me, but I may join a gym if my weight loss stalls or slows down considerably in the near future. Still have very good restriction, and I am very good at reading my "full" signal and stopping. 50lbs to go until goal! Onward and downward!

    I'm very glad that I came back and read this thread. Add me to the slow losers group. I lost 25 lbs almost immediately after surgery, but only about 5 lbs since. My first stall lasted 3 weeks, then I lost 5 pounds and stalled again for about 5 weeks. I think that stall might be broken now, but not positive since I don't weigh myself more than once per week. I don't track my food every day but when I do I'm usually at around 900 calories and about 60 g of Protein. I am struggling with exercise, although I'm not at all sedentary and I struggle with Water. I'm trying not to be frustrated. I started with a lower bmi because I'm a revision (band to sleeve) so I only have about 50 lbs left to goal. No new wardrobe yet, but the clothes I have fit comfortably now and that's a good thing. I'm just going to keep trying and I know that it will eventually come off.

    Hi Karen... You may not need a psychologist but it couldn't hurt. They could give you some additional tools. Our sleeves help with the physical aspect, so if you do decide to talk to someone it will add to what you already have.
