I had my first appointment with the nutritionist today it went well. tomorrow I meet with the surgeon for the first consultation. only thing I didn't like Is she kind of down graded the band she said on average Banders only lose 30lbs but I just kinda ignored it because I know that's not true

That is strange. I met with my nutritionist for the first time about 3 weeks ago and she was very positive. I wonder if you should mention her comment when you talk with the surgeon. They're supposed to be working together.

Have you had the counselor evaluation yet?

Yeah I found it strange too but like I said unjust ignored it. my first consult is tomorrow morning with the surgeon and he rest of his team

My nutritionist basically just told me that I could anticipate approx 20% weight loss in one year. I've also read that you can anticipate losing approxmiately 50% of your excess weight in 1 year. For me, those numbers are right about the same, so I'm keeping that in the back of my mind. Some lose more/faster, others lose less and/or more slowly.

I am a slow loser but I also don't have hanging skin.
