I'm scheduled for 2/6/14. Who else is getting sleeved in February?

It is your gallbladder and it is going to only get worse. You really need to have it looked at soon.

Thanks SuperFab. As a nurse I tend to talk my way out of diagnoses and think, "That's not me! I'm not part of the majority!" Lol! I know that's nonsense in this case because my symptoms were straight out of a med/surg assessment book! I've not had any pain since late last night. I have an appt with my surgeon on the 17th, but I may see her at work before then.

Since it comes and goes it's easy to think "well, was that really as bad as I thought it was?" And then we let it go. Until the next time. And then it gradually gets worse until you're up all night curled into a ball popping Vicodin like Pez candies. Don't let it get outta hand because it can really cause a significant amount of pain.

UPDATES! how many weeks out, how many pounds lost!?

I'm 17 weeks out

67 pounds lost

Weight loss has really slowed for me...but I am not gaining! How's everyone doing?

16 weeks out tomorrow .. Done 81lbs total (62 since surgery)

16 weeks out yesterday and down 79 lbs! Wooo! So excited and happy.

Hi everybody. I had surgery on Feb 4th. I also have had several weeks of 1 lb weight loss recently. It's almost as if my body knows that I am hovering right over 200 and just doesn't want to flip over into the 100's. How does it know?????

Also, my hair loss has definitely picked up. I was thinking of having a consult with my hair dresser to discuss options for extensions (for volume not length).

Overall, I'm so pleased though. I was 283 last July on my first visit with the surgeon and 270 going into the pre-op diet. So down 80 lbs since last July - I'll take it!

I too have hit a stall. I can't break into the 170s. I am stuck at 181-182. I'm just keeping the scale packed away. I eat well and workout and chase baby girl around. I figure there's not much else I can do. Saw the surgeon Friday and he was happy with my progress. So I guess I have to be patient and content for now.

I'm 12 weeks out down 35lbs.

17 weeks - 77 lbs

16 weeks 84lbs. Hoping to hit 90 by Monday for my f/u with my dr. Everyone is doing so great!

So I took my 16 week pics tonight. I'm pretty proud of myself. 314 lbs in the dark purple. 235 lbs tonight in the mint green. So happy. ♡

15 weeks, 48 lbs. In a terrible stall. Trying to stay focused.

If anyone was considering having some alcohol.. Don't !! I went up a pound this week back on the sober wagon for me !!

16 weeks out. Down 67 pounds

16 weeks out 6/10/14 down 62
