One minute I am convinced I want this surgery, and I do want this surgery, then I start reading different blogs and then I read more information. I read in one of my folders from my surgeon that I could expect to lose 55% of the excess weight I have. If that is one hundred pounds, isn't that only 55 pounds lost? I don't mean to say ONLY but geez. I know I am not on track now with any weight loss but I would expect that all the exercise and the removal of 85 % of your stomach and the diligence in watching what you eat would yield more than that.
Can anyone shed some light onto this? Maybe he meant that 55% would be without any extra hard work? Thanks for reading.
Hi Judy! I just commented on your comment on my blog. I got crazy with it...it's long but I hope it helps. I don't have all the answers but 55% can't be right unless you don't do what you're instructed to do and he gives you a large bougie size. Hang in there! I would do this surgery all over again.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your blog background!
Thanks penpen. I feel much better having heard what you have to say. And I have been trying to get you my email address but I am not having any luck, because I am computer challenged. Will keep trying though.
