Here is my standard reply to you and advice:
Weighing yourself regularly is not a measurement of your success in this journey. It is but 1 tool to see your progress. Do you check your sugar levels daily? DO you check your cholesteral daily? How about your iron, niacine etc.?

Did you weigh yourself every day for the years leading up to having wls?

Try putting away your scale. Try measuring the changes in your waist and neck, and arms and legs.

I found that even during periods of a 2 weeks stall, I lost 1 or 2 " from my waist.

I now weigh myself no more often than once every 4 months, if that, and usually only when I have a doctor's appointment.

Do you believe that you will be the only person who went through this procedure and you will stop loosing weight never to loose another pound?

Put the darn scale away, lock it up or give it away and have your doctor tell you how much you lost when you see him. Measure your success not by weighing yourself but how you feel, how many more physical things you can do without getting abnormally tired, and how often you are having to buy new, smaller fitting clothes.

Look at the tens of thousands that went before you and how it has turned out for them. You will be no different in the end. You may loose at different rates from others (and most likely will) so don't compare your loss to others.

You made a great decision on having this done for yourself now stop micro examining the progress. You will loose more weight in 6- months than you put on in 10 years and if that is not fast enough for you well I guess you should drive race cars for a living.

Best of luck and keep your chin up. I am now happy to say that too is easier as I only have one chin now to keep up.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.
