I have two young girls, 9 and 2. When the smallest was 18 months I just realized that I might not be alive to see her become a mother herself. I had her at 35 and weight of 311. My sister in law had the surgery and was doing really great. It was time for me to be the mother I could be now and when they are adults.

Thank you! Makes so much sense when you explain it as you did. I'll keep using the one at home for accuracy, it seemed to nearly match up with the one at first care.

Hi everyone. I'm wondering which scale I should trust. I was in the dr.'s office the other day due to a sinus infection. The digital scale there said I was 122kilograms which equals 268.96 lbs. The scale at home said I was three pounds lighter at 265, this is not a digital scale. Now the digital scale at work is telling me 272.00. Which is accurate? Who do I trust? LOL Have any of you had the same experience with an old fashion scale and digitals scales being so off? TIA

OMG YES! Dr. Tyner is amazing and has the best bed side manner. I talked with one of his assisting nurses before I went into surgery and he told me that he had assisted Dr. Tyner on over 500 sleeve's. In fact, his mother (the assisting nurse) was also sleeved 6 years ago by Dr. Tyner, and is doing really well. I kid you not, I felt so good right after surgery that I was up and walking three hours later. My sister was sleeved in 2015 by Dr. Tyner as well and she is doing realy well. You have nothing to fear, he and his team are awesome. Sandoval Regional is a great place for surgery also. Everything there is so new and fancy. The team there really knows there stuff. Overall it was a good experience.

Hi! You and I have something in common other than we were sleeved. Dr. Tyner did my surgery as well at Sandoval Regional. How are you doing? Are you from ABQ? I'm in Rio Rancho.

I'm doing good. Still strugling with ideas for meals. I've lost 47 lbs, I need to update my profile. I ride my stationary bike for 30 minutes each day and stick to the plan as given to me by my Dr. I'm hoping I can get down another 18lbs by 11/22/2017 as my family and I are heading to Disney World. I used to be such a drag on vacation. How are You? When was your surgery? Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

You are really looking great. Keep up the good work as you are doing an awesome job. I think I am still scared to take pictures of myself as the reflection in the mirror is still the same to me. I'll post someday.

Hello. I hope everything went well today. Update us when you feel up to it.

I am badly craving a taco and was going to make street taco's with corn tortillas. I know one will be enough but has anyone tried this?

I've been careful to follow the rules except for one. I need my coffee. I started drinking coffee again about three weeks ago. I'm doing good otherwise.

I'm in Rio Rancho, NM. I was sleeved on 6/27/2017 at Sandoval Regional.

The only person who asked me why was my mother. Uhhh....that bugged. After she saw what I went though in those two weeks leading up and the 6 after she realized that this was not an easy way out. It was/is work and it's hard work. We opted for a tool to help us and as long as we stick to the plan, with hard work and dedication it will work. Whenever someone asks why? Tell them because you want to be healthy and if they think this is the easy way out, they are sadly misinformed and should educate themselves.

I worried like crazy before the surgery. When it was over, I realized that I had worried for nothing. Yes the gas afterward is not pleasant and a it hurts but other than that, it's really fine. You will be okay and I'll pray for you. Remember to get up and walk and walk and walk.

I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my second. I did really well with my nutritionist because eating then, was just like I eat now. Continue to eat the same and you will be fine. Baby will take what he/she needs and you will get what you need. You really have to uptake your water though.

You look fantastic. Great work! [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
