I had my vertical sleeve on 7-16-11 by Dr. David Suh in Corona, California. I am 13 days postop and feeling fine. Lost 10 lbs the first 10 days but have had no weight loss this week. In fact, I have gained 2 lbs. I am following my M.D. protocol but nothing is moving. I even began walking as I did preop but no change. I am little frustrated. I didn't expect to stall at this point in time. I expected to at least lose weight the first month. I am quit frustrated and am hoping I am not the one failure! Any suggestions will help!

I also had my sleeve done by Dr. Suh, exactly 2 months before you on 5-16-11. If you follow his protocol, you will lose the weight, just be patient. I just went through a 5 week stall and it was beyond frustrating, but the scale is moving again...thankfully! If you are concerned at all, call his office and talk to his nurse. They will give you suggestions and will listen to your fears. One of the main things is to get your protein in and drink your water. I know I don't have a lot of answers for you, just know that you aren't going to be a failure, but you are going to be a "loser" . And, also that you are not alone. Everyone goes through stalls, some at 2-3 weeks, and some at 2 months or more out. Good luck!!
