Ok I'm just going to post this in here. Who is a slow loser and what is slow to you? I'm asking coz I'm a sleeve to Rny come June coz I no matter how much I workout and how little I eat I don't loss weight. In my 6 1/2 months with the sleeve I lost 35lbs. The 35lbs was lost in the first 3 months nothing after. I live off 800-1000 cals a day easy workout 5 days a week. So I'm kind of wanting to find ppl that just could not loss weight no matter how hard they tried before they got the Rny and have lost weight. Any help here would be good I'm so worried about doing this all over again and it still not work.

I had Rny 2/14 and starting weight was 217, and as of last Friday 191. That is 26lbs in 2 months which is slow!!! My surgery was open with over a 6 inch incision and 5 small incisions in a failed attempted of laparoscopic due to old scar tissue. I have dieted for over 6 yrs with minimal loss so this was it for me at 45 yrs old. I was a slow to get exercising but have started vigorously and increased Protein. I have to work hard for every pound loss even with the surgery, but it is coming off with 800-1000 cal I do a day and at least 70g Protein.

I'm a slow loser too :( I'm 1 yr. post op. started at 216 and I am 163 now. My goal is 140 and it seems like I will never make it. I stick to my surgeon's diet plan, exercise like crazy, jog, walk, run, incline 7 days a week for 1+hours. I also have thyroid issues, I had m thyroid removed 20 years ago and on hormone replacement. I don't know whether that has anything to do with it. I'm a bit frustrated at this point but I cannot eat nearly as much as I did pre-op though.

By looking at you, it doesn't appear that u have that much to lose. Smaller person, less calories required for daily activities. So basically if ur wobbling around like a meatball with legs (as I was a few short months ago) ur loss rate will be higher! Be glad ur not in that position!! I too had a failed sleeve from 2007 that I paid cash for in Mexico!!! Can you say desperate?!? I regained all but 40 lbs prior to the RNY! Good luck : )

Yeah same here I thought the sleeve was best but I was wrong so here's to take two for me rather do it now then sit and maybe put on all I have lost then do it. I was self pay for the sleeve 25k I'll be self pay for the Rny but it will get done. I don't think I would have thought about doing it if it was not for All of the countless test I've had done to figure out what the reason was in the 1st Place to why I stoped loosing weight after 3months out :(. It's nice to know I'm not The only failed sleeve :)

Although I lost 32 pounds in the first 3 weeks (I think due to nausea making me unable to tolerate shares & horrendous diarrhea), I've slowed to 1-2 pounds a week. I exercise everyday. Trying to stay positive. I can see that I'm toning, and I'm moving easier.

      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!
