so the first week post op I had Lost a total of 24 pounds 7 of that was pre op.. After the first week the second I weighted the same now the third week I weighted myself and I have gained about 3-4 pounds not only I'm in a stall since week one but I am gaining weight! Now I have heard about stalls but so early out is it normal? And how about the gaining?

I was reading and I'm not sure why but didn't look at the failure ratio of the sleeve and its a 30%.. I'm so scared I'm in that 30%... Any reassurance guys would be great to me :,(

Back away from the scale. You'll make yourself nuts. Resolve to only weigh at the doctor's office. That's what I do -- and I've never had a stall. Because even if I hadn't lost or even gained from one day to the next, I don't know it. I am 3.5 months post op, down 52 lbs, co morbidities resolved, and not living and dying by a fickle, lying scale.

If you are following your doctor's plan, getting your fluids and Proteins in, taking your Vitamins and moving every day you will not fail.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

^^^^^ The voice of reason.

People....burn those scales. They're a bunch of lying evil temptresses. They tease you and toy with your emotions by offering you easily attainable satisfaction...then they ****** all hope and joy from life. And ironically, they don't even begin to tell the whole story.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
