Seems everyone got results back quick. Not me, I waited so long I called and asked "did I flunk?' LOL they were just really backed up. Had my surgery a year ago this past November. Best thing I ever did for myself.

I stalled at 6 months for about 9 weeks it was awful but i stuck to the program and the weight started to come off again. Just saw my surgeon and I am no longer in the obese category, overweight and I quote my Dr. "not by much" I need to lose about 25 more LBS. I know it will be much slower now but i am sticking with it. You will start to lose again don't give up!

Thanks for the replies everyone. It seems like there is so much confusing information out there, I am going to stick with the plan and not allow this to throw me back into bad habits. I am calling to make an appointment with dietition at the surgery center I went to, they have a year follow up program and i need to utilize it more than just going to support group monthly. Starting back to yoga, going to my first class tonight. I am just praying this breaks soon!!!

I was the same way. A friend of mine who is nurse helped me but my issue was the sweetness, she added some FF greek yogurt, unflavored, the protein shake a a little coconut milk. It made a huge difference in my being able to tolerate the shakes without getting nauseous.

Thank you both i was having a mini meltdown over this!! I am tracking every bite i take!

I had my surgery on Nov 29, 2022. Things have been going really well then boom the dreaded stall has hit. I haven't lost anything in about 6 weeks. I have been monitoring what I am eating, making sure i get in the vitamins and protein. I do need to increase my exercise, I am so worn out after working all day. I am seeking any suggestions on how to break thru this stall. It is driving me crazy.....

My surgeon in Las Vegas repaired a small HH during my sleeve surgery. I didn't know I had the HH but am glad he saw it and took the initative to repair. I had my surgery through the Surgical Weight Control Center, the surgeon was Dr. Marc Leduc and he is absolutely wonderful, very knowledgeable and professional, great bedside manner. I had my three month check up yesterday and am down 54 LBS. I have gratefully not had any complications and did not even have to take one pain med after the surgery. Highly recommend SWCC and Dr. Leduc.

Yes, I had a period when i returned to work where I had to call my supervisor a million times because I couldn't remember where to find forms in the computer system, who I should send the different ones to for approval and just some crazy things. It is better now though.

I say come to Las Vegas and go to Surgical weight control center! The are wonderful. I didn't even have take a pain pill after surgery, I was up and about the next day and have not had any complications!

I had my surgery Nov 29, 2022, went to the Dr today and I am down 54 LBS. I finally hit oneder land. I started at 240 and today my weight was 186. I was suprised because i didn't think I had lost much.

Depending on who is asking I will tell them I had the surgery others i just say "really, you think I have lost weight?" then shrug my shoulders when they say "yeah you are disppearing before my eyes."

i had my surgery through the surgical weight control center in Las Vegas, and I highly recommend!

I can relate my surgery got pushed back not for that long but i was disappointed too. I had to stay on the liquids longer and it was tough but so worth it! Hang in there you got this

I had a one night stay but i had my surgery in Las Vegas.

I have had some pain in my left side as well. It is up a little higher though. My surgeon said he thought it was muscle related and would improve with time and it has. I had the surgery on Nov. 29, 2022.
