Yes it's from the high sugar, I suffer with a condition called PCOS and acanthosis nigricans it made my neck and cheeks darker, my over all skin to darker to its " too much insulin in your bloodstream" but as I dropped the weight my skin has become much clear and my dark matches are lighting up I'm going to have to change foundations soon.. Lol

I have PCOS as well and a friend of mine has the other issue. I have noticed how the surgery has corrected a number of issues, including skin problems.

Nope..2 weeks is correct. Her surgery was June 14th, and this post was made on June 29th.

The only thing I can fathom is she dropped a lot of Water weight. I would say possible scale error, but I think it was a doctor's scale both times.

Either way, it's fabulous!

Yes the dates were correct.. The scale as well, I weighed myself at work and the docs office. They were impressed as well as i people have to realize that I started out at a high weight plus a lot of it was water because I did end up getting 12 lb back the following 3 days later and then I stalled. But every one's journey and body is different. I've always been able to lose weight very fast but also take a bite of a burger and I'll gain 20 lbs just as fast. That's why I choose this tool

It's possible! I was somewhere around there, then it slows down and the real work kicks in..

[emoji108][emoji119] exactly people have to factor in age and weight I'm young and I was heavier so course is going to come off faster.

You got the surgery a decade ago when it was a fairly new wls.. So please I no your a "vet" but don't try that "I've been doing this so I know better" crap on me because you don't know me.. Or my insides, Thank you

No need to get nasty! She isn't comparing your losses to her journey, she's comparing your losses to all those journeys she has heard about in a decade.

40lbs in a month is crazy-high loss rate.. and yours was twice that! It's not surprising for people to be skeptical.

The body only seems to be capable of burning off 1-2lbs a day of fat. Your loss of almost 3lbs a day didn't seem possible.

But, like I said, I suspect a bunch of it was Water weight (and especially since 12lbs came back on.. that was definitely water).. so 40-12 = 28lbs/14 days= 2lbs/day, and that is still super high, but within expectations.

70lbs over 2 months is just over a pound a day.. fabulous! And quite believable.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
