6 weeks - weight still not budging :(

This is not uncommon, your body had surgery, give it some time.

Hi all,

I need some help with somewhat of an off-topic question. I'm in the process of starting a weight loss company with a focus on bariatric surgery. We are in the process of selecting a name that resonates with the community.

Can you help us out by completing a quick 30-second survey? Thank you so much.

Who was your surgeon?

Was it original DS or LOOP?

I wish I'd seen this sooner but I rarely come on here. I had gastric bypass and didn't lose weight, despite eating 600 calories a day. They told me I was lying and doing all kinds of things wrong but really? How can I be the problem at 600 calories a day?

I had a revision to a DS with DrRabkin and of course it was my fear that the same thing would happen- because it DOES happen. Rarely, but it does. They have people work out with weights to develop lean muscle tissue, and that gets things going. I was able to talk with one of his patients that it had happened to, at his support group one night. She worked really hard with the weights, but she was really motivated and she lost her excess weight and looked great. And Dr Rabkin never told her that she was doing everything wrong- he just told her how to fix it.

I sincerely hope that your body finally responded and that you don't need this response at all. Best of luck to you.
