THanks. I just saw this.

How are you doing today?

I am 6 mos out and eat 6 oz. 34 boughie and Dr S would not go to 40. Hope I don't lose too much.

I would not go to same doc. Office is unorganized. I.E. When I came for 1 week follow up no one knew who I was or what surgery I had including Dr. Scarborough. I met a patient in his office that day that had sleeve leak in Dec and was struggling for info.

My surgery was excellent, follow up sucked. Dr. Scarborough is quiet and lacks the social/organizational skills needed. Hard to know him.

Nutrition dept is contracted out, so little aftercare included. No support, basically. verticalsleevetalk was good for me. Look how out of date website is and in their office. No people spirit. Part of this journey is physical and my physical surgery was fine THANK GOD.

Other doctors, such as Dr. Robert Davis, definitely do more tests to make sure you are ready for surgery and later that you are not leaking.

I am critical.

Please let me know your experience.

Hi Barbara - I had not heard of blood clots in the arm. I had a lot of trouble with IV's. And here it is 5 weeks out and I have pain in my upper arm for no apparent reason. Feels like a bruise but there is no bruise. I didn't notice it until the last couple weeks. Do you think this is a sign of a problem. I don't remember hitting my arm on anything.

Have not heard how you are doing lately.....are you feeling better/able to eat more yet? Just worried b/c you were having some struggles a few days ago. I hope you are better now.

Oh dear, I did not know that. This is a little trickier than we thought, eh? I have worried about a leak, but then I will do dumb things and get mad at myself. Of course it is normal b/c we have issues with food or wouldn't be here. But still, no one wants complications. Well bless your heart, I am so sorry. I hope you are feeling better real soon. Keep me updated. Theresa

Wow you have lost so much weight so fast, you are doing a great job. I haven't lost as much. How do you feel? I'm Theresa, in your zip code. I never was able to respond back to you. But we live in Memorial Springs off 249/Spring Cypress.

You responded to my post about having regrets. Please update us on how you are doing now. So sorry you are having troubles. You are really in my prayers. I scheduled my surgery before reading your regrets, and now I'm really frightened. I have a little guy at home too, and it would make everyone nuts to have to care for him if I was not okay. I am praying for you.
