Went to see surgeon today for 6 week check up. I am on stage 5 foods, sooo happy. Lost 7 pounds in 4 weeks. A little disappointed but she assures me its OK, that the sleeve is a slow steady tool rather than a drop fast tool. Every thing was good and I am cleared for exercise. Even got a script for obese physical therapy. Private trainer. Water exercise training program. Paid for by my insurance.. So it was a good day...

Congratulations on a great check up! Sounds like you are doing well. Keep up the good work!

I lost 9 lbs my first post op and I was disappointed also. Everyone keeps telling me trust the process, and I am trying but weight is coming off so slow. Glad to hear your doc said the same. Thanks for the tip on the physical therapy, I am going to try that with my insurance company. Good luck
