Mme C.

Thank you all for the feedback. It makes sense that the Doctor would base his estimate on all the factors that would contribute to weight loss and a realistic goal at that. I’m just so psyched I hope this Covid business will settle down so those of us on a waiting list can get in for surgery.

Hello, my name is Mme C. I am new to this forum, so please be kind. I am not aware if this has been discussed before. That being said... At my pre- surgery Doctor assessment visit my Dr told me that the best he could predict in terms of weight loss would be 60 lbs. That doesn't even come close to what I would like to attain overall. I need to lose more than that to what I feel would make it worth my while. What do you all think? I have spinal and joint issues, as well as hip and shoulder bursitis. I realize those things may never go away, My hope is I only want to relieve some of my present suffering through MWL surgery. Thanks for listening.
