BAD DOCTOR VISIT

She is a moron, and the surgeon needs to know about it. Giving bad information in her line of work is dangerous. Eat what your NUT tells you (not the PA), and do what your surgeon tells you (not the PA). And keep listening to your peers! We may not be medical experts, but we know stuff about the personal side of WLS, and that's important info, too.

55 pounds in two months is HELLA fast.  I hadn't lost 55 pounds in 3 months and I lost 105 by the 6 month mark and I'm not a fast loser at all.  Please do not get discouraged by what this PA is telling you.  You are doing better that great so keep up the good work.

I agree a call to you surgeon might be in place.  You can also request that you not see the PA for your follow ups and to have all your followups with the surgeon.

 You are doing great! I am a little over 2 months out and have only lost 37 lbs. she really would not have been happy with me at all.

I'm confused.  

You said you are 2 months out, and 55 lbs down.

She wants you to be 120 lbs down at 6 months.

If you kept at the same pace, you would be at 165 lbs down.

Am I missing something? I do have ADD... but I can do math.  I think.  

*Baffled*

55 divided by 2 = 27.5 per month average.

27.5 x 6 months = 165

Am I losing my mind?

I would outright refuse to see this PA again.

She can't do simple math - and she is allowed to write prescriptions?
