Emmalu222

Had my surgery on 10/23 @ 11 am and was released from the hospital by 9 pm the same day.

I had this done by Dr. Holden(who is a partner out of his office and trained by him) last Thursday. So far it is working well for me ! Then again I'm on clear liquids but for the most part my inverted sleeve is tolerating my liquids.

Hey there!! I'm 4 days post op and finally got rid of all these gas pains !!! I am still having muscle tenderness in my side and have just been breathing through it. I have been able to get my protein in with the help of isopure .. The coconut flavor is soo gooood! Taste like coconut macaroons. I have my post check up and staple removal on 11/3 so I'm excited for that! I do not have facebook but I do have instagram: emmalu222 I am able to tolerate the clear liquids but am dragging my feet on going to full liquids because I want my stomach to have enough time to recover and the swelling to go down as much as possible. Since surgery I've lost 13.2 and my two week liquids I lost 12. Good luck to everyone !!

I was hoping for October as I finished classes today but was told October was booked and so was November .. So October is out for me End of December or January

Well finished my last BEND class today and will most likely not be scheduled until December. I'm a little discouraged today.

Hi Shannon! I haven't received my surgery date yet. I finish my BEND classes on Thursday so after that I'm hoping to get a at least a tentative date Then again I have to wait for insurance approval as well. I've had to do 6 months of bend classes, sleep study, psych eval, EKG testing and now waiting on endoscopy. How long have you been going through the process?

Hey Shannon! I'm using Dr. Kim's office currently. Dr. Holden is doing my surgery (who also works in his office out of Colleyville. I've had nothing but amazing experience with the office. I can call up there any time and ask questions and they are more than happy to answer. I have one more nutritional class this week and then endoscopy and then surgery time !! Amazing office staff amazing experience so far !
