I'm going to save my weigh ins for my dr's scale. Mine has always read 5-10 lbs less than theirs but never a consistant number so I can't just add 6 or something. I'm going to see if I can go into my clinic once a week and just weigh in.

If I was going by my scale, this morning it said 197....but since last Thurs. doc said 206, I'm not buying. It's moving....that's all that matters right now.

Great Loss so far Danna! Wow!

I agree, I'm only using my Dr's scales as my show about 2kg (4.5 lbs) less than his, so yesterday was my post op check-up and my appt to decide if I need a fill is Jan 9 - so will get weighed again then.

Like you, so long as it is moving in the right direction is all that matters.

My starting point was 125kg (275lb) on November 27. After 10 days of pre-op and 4 days post-surgery, I'm at 120.2kg (261lb), so have lost 14lb in 14 days... whoohoo!

Well done and isn't it great to know that it isn't going to come back!!!

Awesome loss Fanny!!! That's like NOT carrying a 3 month old around all day every day!

Doesn't it feel great!

I was banded on Dec. 4th which was 9 days ago. I started at 279lbs. my scale at home says 264lbs. That would be 15 pounds however I think my scale at home may be about 3 or 4 pounds lighter then the docs. I am going tomorrow for my post op follow up and will get a true reading then. But I am still amazed with the results thus far.

well the day of my surgery I weighed in at 294 at home 292 at Dr. Office I had surgery on 12/7/07 today I weighed in at home at 282 .I also did this for the pre opt appointment and it was the same difference .

I had my pre-op right before Thanksgiving-Banded 12/04. Down 21lbs! Down about 42lbs from original starting weight at the beginning of Nov.
