I am so glad I'm not the only one! The palms of my hands and my ankles itch the most! And my neck a little bit LOL I have a video appointment with a nurse practitioner tomorrow, she is from the bariatric center. Hopefully she'll have some news. I'm sorry you're going through this

I guess that I am being a big baby, wishing I would lose faster, but in reality I have never been able to do more than 5 lb in a month, and I've already lost nine!? So I need to behave myself haha! What I do need though is to find a good bariatric dietitian that supports my low-carb lifestyle. The dietitian at the bariatric center does not support anyone doing any diet, but I don't consider low-carb diet as I've been doing it for years, not correctly, but I have been doing it for years. Thank you so much for your reply!

I think I am going through a bit of regret and depression right now too. I had sleeve surgery on September 27th, and since surgery have only lost 9 lbs. I had hoped that I would be one of those people that want to 20 or 30 pounds and a time per month. Am I being too fussy about this? Please don't mince words

That is awesome! I'd love to hear more about the process overall. Have you attended the support group? I'm sure I'll show up there sooner or later.

I have not, and reason being I am disabled, so if I could attend on soon that would work but being there in person, traveling by Uber to Rio rancho cost too much to come out there more than is absolutely necessary. The process overall was a really positive one for me, I started out with Cindy as my dietitian and then she left and Carrie came on board and The dietitian, so that was a little different. Carrie has some different opinions than Cindy did. I didn't mean the other surgeon, is Dr Rice was recommended to me, and he seems very nice and very approachable to me. For a surgeon that is lol

Are you getting your surgery in Albuquerque? I'm in Rio Rancho and I have my first appointment at Rust Medical Center in October.

Yes, I live in albuquerque, but went to Rust also because Dr Rice came highly recommended. It would be great if we could say hi for real sometime lol

I'm in New Mexico😊

Congratulations! It is so exciting to get your surgery date :-) good for you!

I got my surgery date last week. It is September 27th! Barring Delta shutdown of the hospital[emoji849]
