Hey all my name is Lorraine I am 34yrs old I had my sleeve surgery 12/21/2010 at Lenox Hill Hospital my highest weight was 311 pounds I am only 5'3 as of today 3/9/2012 I am floating between 200 and 202 pounds I wanted to be down to 180 by now but I have had some emotional set backs and I have not exercised but I am still happy with my weight loss and I do not regret doing the surgery I have tried to have my surgery for 6 years it was worth the wait. I am no longer living in NYC and not close to my support group or any support group so I am online looking for support groups or people to talk to.

Thanks all.

Hey Cassandra thank you for the welcome :) my only advice I have learned over this year and a few months is do not compare your weightloss to others we are all individuals and loss our weight differently I have had crazy break downs in the beginning because I wasnt losing weight like others.

Lorraine,

I have struggled with that also and truthfully I still sometimes do, but it’s much better these days. Now I just need to eat slower and find Vitamins that both my sleeve and I like ( just order wellness liquid Vitamins https://wellessebariatric.alice.com/ fingers crossed that I can tolerate them)!

OMG 100 pounds in a year you should be very proud, keep up the good work and you will get to goal, its possible! :D

Hello Lorraine, welcome to the forum. I haven't had my surgery yet, I'm still on the 6 months requirement. I'm doing my surgery at Lenox Hill also. Who was your surgeon?

First be ready to wait!!!!! He is a super busy doctor with the office and all the tv appearances he will have you waiting forever no matter what time your appointment is, if you are looking for a doctor to be super sweet and hold your hands well he is definately not the one he just gets to the point and before you know it he is outta the room lol but he will answer any questions you have you just have to hold him down Everytime I would go to I would say to my partner "I don't like him" and she would say he is a great doctor you are just use to shappy doctors lol (she is a nurse so I took her advice and stayed). Performance wise he did my surgery good he did check on me a few times while I was in the hospital I haven't had any complications so you are in good hands, being away from NYC made me realize how much I missed that long wait office lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
