Hi...I'm 5'8" been on a diet for the past 3 months. I have lost a total of 30 lbs. But, have not been able to lose any more in the past month!!! I guess I hit my plateau. My question is, which is the best way to get my weight lost going again. I exercise everyday and eat healthy. What are the different reasons that can cause this plateau and what kind of different solutions is there out there to overcome this??? thank you so much and hope to hear from you soon.

well the doc that i had gone first to, put me on a 2 month trial...which i lost a total of 10 lbs. then he come out and told me that my ins. didnt approve him for my surgery. Because he is not within my network. (but thats a whole different story) anyways, ever since then i just kept on doing it on my own. im still in the process of going to another doctor. but meanwhile, im still keeping my diet and was doing good up untill now :scared2:

so i have been on a diet for the past 3 months. (not banded yet) i have lost a total of 30 lbs. i have seem to hit a plateau...and i have been like this for the last month!!! Im so frustrated i dont know what to do. I exercise and eat healthy...but just cant get over the hump! Going crazy out here in Cali!!!!!! So confused! :scared2::heart::crying::mad2::eek:

I would like to know in other words at what weight did you realize you would need a tummy tuck??? Can you please also include your height and the weight you started off with and your current weight! And if you dont mind your age! I'm just trying to get an idea of what I have to look forward too If my skin is going to sag. Please include all areas where your skin started sagging...etc. Thanx!

can you guys give me some advice on what food to buy and tips??? Or whats a day in your shoes being a vegetarian?? I come from a small town. So, we dont have any fancy organic grocery stores. We got a Walmart and a Vons thats as good as it gets hahaha.

so why can’t I lose any more weight? Been stuck on the same number for about 2 weeks now. I work out every other day anywhere from 25-45 minutes. I drink a low-card slim fast shake for Breakfast and lunch and for dinner I try to have a good healthy one. I’m getting so frustrated and it makes want to give up. I already lost 20 lbs in 2 months. But been stuck on 20 for a while now. This week I took it up a notch and started to work out twice in one day everyday and lift weights every other day. Can anyone help me???? P.S. I don’t have the lap band yet!

anyone work out during the pre-op or post-op diets?? if yes, what exercise do you do?? Please be as detailed as possible...

hi everyone, a lot has happened in the last 2 months. First, i was put on a two month trial by my doctor. I had to lose a total of 10 lbs, five the first month and five the second month. So, i get a call from my doctors office which happens to be Dr. Horgan in la jolla, ca. They told me that my insurance denied me. Due to the fact that my doctor not being in the network of my insurance. So, it all came down to this, i believe that my doctor should have known that he was not within my network instead of wasting 2 months of my time and his time, right?!?!? I had to pay over 300 dlls already to him. And they wait for the last minute to ask for an approval and i was turned down. I had to cancel my appt that i had this monday for my final weigh in. After that i was suppose to get a surgery date. Now im back to square one!!!! Bummer! On the lighter note i already lost 20 lbs while all this madness was going on. Pass the 10 lbs i was suppose to lose and i did it all on my own :smile: now, where do i go from here??? Do i start a whole new process with another doc? Oh and by the way i appealed it (Dr. Horgan) I'm suppose to know like in 2 weeks what the outcome is....but i kinda feel like i cant trust this doc no more, i feel ive been cheated. Maybe the doctor is not even aware of whats going on and its his staff not him. Who knows, im so confused now. Any suggestions??? On another brighter note, today was the first day i woke up at 4 am to work out!!! Wow! I surprised myself....hope u all have a wonderful day today. Im at work now! God bless you all!!!

Can anyone tell me what your pre-op diet consist of and how did it turn out? As far as how much did you lose and over how long did it take you to get there? Please try to be as detailed as possible. Thank you.

please let me know if anyone has tried them. And if so, how much did you lose and how long did it take?

i have to b on a liquid diet, i believe for 14 days before surgery. but can anyone tell what the hell is the liquid diet????

My ins. will cover for my fills up to three months after surgery. After that they will start to charge me $250.00 DLLS. WTF?!?! How much are yours. And how long will the ins. cover it for?

So I went to my first visit on Dec 3rd. It went well untill I got the news that I was put on a trial period for 2 months. I was hoping the process would go a lot faster. I have to lose 10 lbs in two months. I'm good at short term as far as losing weight. But long term is my issure. The reason for me deciding on getting the surgery. Oh well did anyone else get put on a trial preiod in order to approve surgery? Tell me your stories and if you reached the goal of losing weight brfore surgery.

after losing so much weight...did anyone have to down size their wedding ring?

Actually, I have my first appointment with Dr. Horgan next Weds Dec 3rd. I'm so glad i came across your profile. I haven't found anyone in the San Diego Area. Let alone with the same Doc. Can you please let me know how the staff at the office and hospital was like? How did you hear about Dr. Horgan? hope we can become buddies....

if yes, what u get done or thinking of getting?
