I guess that makes me a HUGE failure then, because I have only lost 58 lbs since surgery almost 16 weeks ago. I'm kidding, of course, I am pretty pleased with my results, and you should be too. Really all that matters is that you are happy with your progress!

If this doctor was serious you should get a new doctor. You've lost an average of over 5lbs a week! What I wouldn't give to have losses like that. You have done fantastic and you deserve a doctor who will support you. You have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to feel bad about. Keep it up!!

Is this doctor new to weight loss surgery results? He seems to not realize that everyone is a little different, and that there are variations in metabolism. I would be happy to lose that much in my first 9 weeks!

My surgeon expresses his expectations in terms of percentage of excess weight at certain points. I am about 9 weeks out and have lost 43 pounds- 27 since surgery or about 25% of my excess weight. She wants me to be at 30% at 12 weeks. That is 4 more pounds. Some doctors are just jerks. 50 pounds is huge. How much of your excess weight is that? I bet it is significant.

My doctor is Dr. Kim in celebration Florida he says he refuses to speak about the numbers it's about weight-loss surgery being a tool to help lose weight. Your dr sounds like a jerk of a man

Yeah I don't know what your dr. Is talking about!!! Is this your surgeon?

Every time I go to my surgeon he seems pretty happy with my weight loss and I have not been losing 5 pounds a week. He never really says anything about the numbers as long as I feel good, I have no complications and the scale is going down.

I think you should continue being happy with your progress.

I just try to remind myself that even if someone is a dr. Doesn't mean they were top of their class. He could have barely passed his schooling which is scary.

I have full faith in my surgeon and he seems the type that had all a's...haha so keep your head up.

You are doing great and it will continue on your own body's time schedule.

A true medical wls professional would know, "Like a Fingerprint, ALL Weight Loss is Unique to the Individual..." & "Everyone's journey is completely unique, so no one should ever judge that path."

      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?
