Hi all, my name is Alex. I was sleeved on the 17th of October. My initial appointment weight in February was 355, and I went up to 372 a few months later; I managed to get down to 348 pre-op, and then put on 15 pounds while in the hospital due to IV fluids. Whew!

My goal weight is probably going to be around 150 (I'm 5'6"), so I have a little over 200 pounds to lose. My first mini-goal is to get down to a size 26. I'm a little concerned because I haven't seen any signs of weight loss yet. My clothes are still fitting the same. I don't have a working scale to check. Then again I'm still very bloated and swollen so it's hard to tell from clothes alone. I was expecting to see results faster.

I'm so nervous that I won't lose anything. I see my surgeon for my first post-op appointment tomorrow morning, fingers crossed!

:welcome:

Hi Alex, welcome to the forum!!! Don't stress too much about the scales right now, just focus on getting your fluids in. You're gonna lose weight, don't worry. Good luck with the first op appt with your surgeon!!

We will be 1 month apart as I am being sleeved on Nov 18- Good luck and keep us posted-
