I had a gastric bypass 6.5 weeks aggo. It was a revision from a VBG done open in 2004. I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks. has anyone ever heard that revision patients dont lose much weight?

Probably just in a stall. It happens to everyone.

Don't be discouraged! At first, I only lost a few pounds after my gastric surgery - literally about 5 during the first two weeks. Then I stalled for a week. THEN the pounds started really coming off.

I listened to a friend of mine who told me not to worry what the scale said - to look more at how my clothes were fitting. She even went as far to say that the scale would discourage me and then I may revert back to my old habits which would mean that all my pain would have been in vain. She was so right! I've gone from a 22 dress size to a 14 dress size! And I've lost a little more than 50 pounds at this point!

I'm on my way to the gym for the first time since my surgery! I feel great - good enough that everyone says I'm glowing! And while I haven't kept to my diet (because living in New Orleans, I NEED FOOD THAT TASTES GOOD!!!) , I am still eating smaller portions and cutting back on sugar. I am losing about a pound and a half a week now.

I just want to encourage you and anyone else that needs it - to KEEP THE COURSE and KEEP THE FAITH!!! As hard as it is, STAY OFF THE SCALE FOR NOW! Weigh yourself in a month if you want, but for now, use your clothes as your guide! The looser they become, the more you will be encouraged! After all, that's really what matters - that you feel comfortable in your clothes!

The very best to you and all of us! Again, KEEP THE FAITH! YOU WILL WIN!!!! ???

wait loss DOES tend to be slower with revisions - BUT....you may just be in a stall right now.

Don't you remember the one-month stall? You're in a stall. It happens. Be patient with yourself.
