I am 6'0", 457 at my first consult, closer to 400 at procedure on 2/17/21. Dr. had some concerns about it at my high BMI, but I'm down almost 140 now, and I feel great!
I went with Dr. Whitwell, on the recommendation of several friends. Surgery went well, pretty happy. His office is in South Miami (in Sunset Place, above Whole Foods).
I had my sleeve done on February 17. Feeling great, but tired.
I started the process with the initial meeting with the surgeon on Jan. 4th. Started pre-op diet (limited portions, mostly protein) that day at 457 pounds (yikes!). Down about 60 by the surgery. Now, almost two weeks post op, down to 375, though I seem to be stalled for a couple of days now. Hopeful!!!
