So frustrated. I'm on month 5 of my 6 month WL program for conversion from lap band go either sleeve or Rny. My doctor has a new nurse and she drops a bomb on me this morning that I have to lose about 30lbs before surgery or he won't do it, which is potentially mid March. What??? This is the first mention of this in the entire 5 months. If I could 15lbs a month with the band I wouldn't be here. I am the most compliant patient ever and do everything they tell me to a T. I've made diet and exercise changes that the NUT asked me to and my weight is still basically up and down the same 5lbs. I don't even know what to do...

ETA: My band is still so tight most days that I vomit and cannot get concrete food down. I have 1.5 in my band. This current surgeon is not the one who originally placed my band.

I would speak to your Surgeon. It might not be that amount of weight. I would just put it to him in the way you feel. Good Luck Keep us posted. Most of all don't fret, that won't help at all. Good Luck

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
