changing slowly

My Dr never gave me a weight I needed to be at. It came up at my 1 yr anniversary and he said looked my stomach and I had lost all the fat from that area it truly is just skin. I was at 350 at time of surgery and at 1 yr 175 he told me not to lose anymore weight because after the skin removal he is guessing my weight at 120-140 and he said that is really low for my body frame. I'm currently 168 I'm trying not to lose but I can't help it

I had mine from Dr. Turnquest in Houston! He is awesome I'm 15 months post op and down 187 lbs no problems and great with follow up they just don't drop you once the surgery is over. Please check him out. He's doing my tummy tuck on may 2

I'm 15 months post op and lost 183 lbs since 2/16/15 I'm in Wallis Texas which is between Sealy and Rosenberg. I had my surgery through Dr. Turnquest at Houston Northwest Medical Center. I'm about to have plastic surgery (panni) on May 2 I'm so excited if anyone has any questions I might be able to answer or would like to meet please message me at snowwhitekappa at AOL.com

Just outside of houston here surgery 2/16/2015

I'm in same boat no weight loss in 3 weeks I'm 5 week and down only 26pounds what am I doing wrong i eat all my protein drink my water exercise daily and nothing

Worried surgery was 2/16 lost 26 lbs the first 2 weeks then stall went to the nut and she was mad that I only lost 2 more lbs total 28 lbs now I'm 3.5 weeks and gaining weight! What is going on? Gained 3 lbs! Trying very hard the last week to get more protein in is that causing the weight gain?

Thanks I really needed to read this!, i also at 3 weeks hit a stall I've lost 28lbs and was happy and figured it was normal. went to my nutritionist and she freaked out because I had only lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. Total 30 lbs total in 3 weeks. Happy to know I'm not alone and this is normal.

Melanie96 I also have a February 16 surgery date

Was wondering the same thing. But I'm an insulin pumper also type 2 and surgery is scheduled for February 16, 2015. All my Dr said is we will have to see.

From west houston, past katy. Surgery date 2/16/15

Also looking for surgery buddies. I'm scheduled for surgery 2/16/2015 it's been a long road. I'm located west of houston. Surgery is in Willowbrook area, i stay in wallis texas which is in between I-10 and 59 toward katy area. I have no family in Texas so looking for good support network

February 16 woot woot

I'm also just outside of Houston far west...lol. I'm waiting for my last diet appointment which is early December just keep telling myself new year new me!

You will gain weight on insulin! When i was put on insulini went from 274 (which i had been for 9 years before insulin) to 300 after insulin held there for 2 years then was placed on humilin R U -500 which is $1275.00 a bottle (hospital grade) and my weight has sky rocketed up to 333 until they increased it again another extra 35 units daily this past july and now I'm holding at 337. They need to understand i can't help it but my sugars are now awesome nearly perfect shouldn't that be of more concern? At least now I know I will be able to heal from the surgery. Always seems to be a catch 22

Now I'm scared! At my first weigh in they explained to me that if I gained even 1 pound the insurance would deny me and i would have to start the 4 month process all over again. I am trying to eat right and drink lots of water like they have told me to do but i i got on the scale 2 days before 2nd weigh in and it said i gained 2 pounds! I had to take water pills for 2 days before my appointment so that when i weighed in it said i lost 4 pounds! It's crazy i have become obsessed i know its all water weight because 2 days later my weight was back up 2 pounds. I have 2 more weigh ins and I'm afraid I won't make it. On top of everything else I'm an insulin diabetic on hospital grade concerated insulin that causes massive weight gain and they won't take thatinto cconsideration.
