Follow-up meeting next week

Hi everyone,

I have my follow-up with the team next week and I'm really nervous because I've only lost about 5 lbs since the last meeting. Mind you, this is the first time I've lost weight over Christmas - EVER! Still, I'm scared that they'll keep postpone the surgery until I lose the 15 lbs they wanted me to lose.

For those of you who had your follow-ups already, how strict are they on the weight loss? Or are they more concerned that you stuck to a plan and worked hard?

I think things have changed a bit since I went through the process.  From the time I had my group meeting to the face to face appt with the surgeon I had only lost about 10 lbs.  Well actually I had lost more and gained it back, and lost a bit more again and gained a few more back....Sigh!  I kept a journal with my exercise and food and Dr. Hardy looked at it pretty closely and then said I was good to go.  I think she was looking to see that I was committed to making changes and sticking with it.  Good luck!
