I happened to come to 300 questions today because i too am not losing any weight. I have only lost five pounds in the last four months. I am 9 months post op. I lost the five pounds the first week I joined Curves for exercise but haven't lost anything since. I too, am wondering if there is something wrong with me. At least now you know you aren't the only one with this problem. Good luck.

I too am going through the frustration of not losing. I had my surgery in Dec 01. My weight loss was never really great to me from the beginning. You may want to have your thyroid checked, or simply get a copy of your medical records...take them to another doctor for a second opinion. As for myself I am in the stage of keeping daily records so that in six months my doctor can submit my revision to my insurance company.
