This exact thing happened to me. I had lost X amount of weight and then NOTHING for 7 months, then it started again but I only lost 10 more pounds after that. Nothing more. I was told that my body stopped because it hit where it was most comfortable and most healthy. Fortuately for me though, I surpassed my doctors' goal weight for me and have been there for the past 2 years. This New Year's I do want to attempt to kick start it again and lose about 20 more lbs to get to my own personal goal. Did you start off with alot of weight to lose? People who have a lot to lose usually lose faster then those who don't have that much. Don't worry, it'll move eventually. If your put out more then what you put in, you should lose weight. Good luck I hope it moves soon for you. It is very frustrating. I totally understand that !

I'm confused. If you were sleeved 7months ago, why were you asking for surgeon referrals last month?

only 10 pounds total? or just 10 pounds in the last 7 months...?

Wow that is unbelievable only 10 pounds since surgery date? What have you been eating/drinking?

I am confused too. On another thread in May you said you just had surgery. Then in Nov you had a post looking for a decent doctor in Mexico. I think everyone assumes you were inquiring about docs so you could choose one to perform your surgery but based on the May post you were already operated on so were you just curious about the decent docs in Mexico?

I am confused

I was sleeved last year and only lost 15lbs, all in the liquid phase so I can relate. The nutritionist thought it might be due to thr antipsychotics I take and gave me metformin to try and counter balance. My diet was spot on and I exercised too.

I was just re-sleeved, or rather they did a placation over the top of it. I have lost 15lbs in the first week so I am cautiously optimistic now.

You can't do a sleeve over a sleeve . What I had done was a gastric placation. Basically the fold the stomach like an accordion and don't actually cut the stomach.

I don't think they do it in the US yet. I had it done in Mexico.

Dr Ponce de leon will do a resleeve if it is beneficial.
