I've heard that the weight comes off the areas it was last out on first... Hmm, does that make sense? I've always been bigger in thighs and hips, I started gaining in my midsection in the last couple of years. I am 4 months post op and have lost most of my midsection and back fat. Working on legs and hips now. You are doing great! Keep up the hard work, we will all be successful!

I couldn't tolerate any unflavored, until GENEPRO. I have added to oatmeal, coffee, crystal light... It's worth trying!

I feel like taking the step and getting the surgery is our desire to change..no true change comes without wanting it but also the backbone of change is the hard work. Just my 2 cents. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I "only" lost 16 lbs the first month. In total, I have lost 227 lbs. You are right on target with your weight loss. You'll see people here and there who lose 30 lbs the first month, but know that they are the exception. Most people seem to be in the 15-25 lb range. That is, the first month. After that, things slow down.
Stalls are common, even in the first month post-op. I had my first one weeks 2 & 3. When it broke during week 4, I dropped like 6-8 lbs within a couple of days. Just stick to your program and the weight will come off.

Patriots fan here, and NO he didn't cheat!

They gave us such a hard time, we submitted a month in advance and my surgery was almost cancelled because we didn't get then to return calls, and didn't get an approval till Thursday for a Monday surgery. They were terrible to deal with!!! Good luck, and stay on them!

When I was admitted to the hospital with low oxygen and I was too heavy for the catscan machines. My doctor had to fight to get them to do it. I realized if I continued on the route I was on I was going to be so fat doctors wouldn't be able to treat me. They hardly were able to at my size then. I also had to go on oxygen because I was so fat it was pressing against my lungs.
I called the surgeon as soon as I was released from the hospital.
