6 months checkup

I had my 6 months checkup actually at 5 1/2 months.Everything was fine and I had lost 65#, 272.5/207.5.Unfortunately I'm a revision from a VBG to a RNY and from everything I've read we typically lose a little slower than others.However I'm really happy with the loss I've had.If I could just manage to lose 65# in the next 6 months I would be at my surgeon's goal for me.So how's everyone else doing?

way to go, leslie. you're doing very well and i'm glad you're really happy with it. i posted my results already - also very happy and hope to repeat the same this six months. (a person can dream and do - right???) thanks for sharing the info. hope we talk again soon. dorthe

Hi Leslie, my 6 month appt is on the 25th. I have lost 88 lbs since surgery and 109 since my consult in January. I am really anxious to have my appt, just hope my surgeon is happy with my progress. Dana Lap RNY 2-21-05 260/239/151/130??? 21 lbs to goal

Hi Leslie, I'm a revision from VBG (1982) also! At my support group meeting this past Saturday I ask my surgeon if revision folks lost less and slower than newbies. He says yes that the data would suggest that we loss less precentage of our excess weight. I've lost 77 lbs since 4 weeks before surgery and about 59 lbs since surgery (2/18). But I'm happy to have lost this much! I'd love to get to 150 so I'm determined to stick to my eating plan and continue to exercise alot. For the last two months I've lost 7 or 8 lbs so if I can keep that up I'll be at goal in 7 or 8 months. Good luck! Janice 277/259/200/150
