21 March 2007 Posted by sstasevich user_popup.png Well: I went to my surgeon's office today, and still no fill. He asked me if chicken breast, or bread was hard to swallow? I said yes. Well,,, that changed everything. He see's a 6lb. loss in 7 weeks. He only want's a pound a week that's it! A pound and a half is to much. So calculateing, surgery probably put weight on or held the same, and the knee is 1/2lb.

more, then your original knee. Sooo,, in his eyes I am rite in there. I thought I was going to hit the floor. He told me "This is a very slow go,

and you already took out 1/2 of the 50lbs. that you are entitled to for a year!, What else do you want?"Welll???,,, I hate to admit it, but he is very much on target I weighed 231 at surgery, 204 today=27lbs. in 5 months. Maybe under 200lbs. in another month . I just have to keep plugin along, and I guess I will. I'm in this for the long haul. So far I have lost 152lbs. since I started my journey. Shirley... 03/21/07. I'm loseing my patients, I want to see under 200lbs...

Girl you have done Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Wow! Congratulations on losing all that weight! I can feel your frustration with your doctor. You'll get there!! You said you lost 152 pounds- when did you lose the rest? I see you have lost 27 pounds in 5 months (after surgery). The only other thing I could suggest it to find another doctor to do your fills? I would think the doctor would be okay with losing more than 1 pound per week?

I regained almost all of it, because he said he blew the band, and wouldn't touch me.

It took a,most 3 years, and one of his students (Now a Dr.) He took me in under his wing,

and he knows the Surgeon was a real ---------------! So he felt sorry for me, and found out he was full of B.S.

not me. (HE LIED AND SAID i DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM, AND ONLY ATE Cookies, CAKE, PIES ETC) I went Hugh!

If that's true? How did I lose all that weight? Good Question ! They never included my weights, when I transferred

my records..... I wonder why??? Also,, the band was not blown, he deflated it, and told me it was blown. Was I pissed...

So anyway, I am starting over, and still losing weight, about 2lbs. a week.

He is fine with 2-3lbs a week.

Hope you enjoyed my journal.

There is also 1 and 2 besides 3. if yu didn't see them.
