  8. Hi everybody! I am really considering weight-loss surgery because I have been struggling with weight issues for six years... Tried everything and it doesnt work. Based on BMI, etc, I should be around 130-140. Therefore, I have about 60-70 pounds to lose. And as I was talking to a nurse she mentioned that weight loss for me was not going to be as fast as I expected. This kind of bummed me out because she mentioned that I would maybe 5 to 10 pounds a month... Even though I know weight-loss is good regardless of the amount, it kind of bummed and discouraged me... Did anyone start off at around 200 lbs and have successful "normal" weight-loss in the first months? Please share your stories! I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

  10. Hi everyone, I have been struggling with weight gain weight loss for the past six years. My highest was 230 and was able to loose about 20 lbs with diet and exercise but then the weight loss stopped despite of changing the entire diet and exercise. Currently I am 210 pounds, 5 3". There are multiple factors that have caused this of course... Eating habits and exercise habits but also I was diagnosed with resistance to insulin and at some point was told I had hypothyroidism. Over the years as I have struggled to lose weight while trying everything possible, I was told my thyroid was back to "normal". However I still cannot seem to lose weight... Several of my friends have had very successful Sleeve stories and I have been thinking about the surgery for the past two or three years. I already spoke to a surgeon but I am still feeling pretty nervous about this as it is a lifestyle change and commitment. A friend told me about this forum, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out and tell me what your success has been and if you have any regrets to your decision? Please don't sugarcoat it Thanks in advance to everyone and good luck on your progress!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
