Hi everyone. I am getting so darn antzy. I have seen one surgeon so far & I see one in Tustin tomorrow. I then have one more interview set up at UCI a week from Thur. I want to get this show on the road & get this over with.... I keep wondering whats behind door number 2, I am talking about the jacked up fees. I had to cancel out on Dr. Oliak since my out of pocket was going to be $5500 & my insurance covers everything! I find that I am eating everything in sight, I cant get full enough... I dont know why I am doing this. I just want to get on with it.... I am also having a difficult time researching the OBand surgery center in Tustin. I cant find anything on it.

Have you heard of the N.E.W. program in Newport Beach? I too have met with a few surgeons. THe first being the 1-800-Get-thin which i deceided against! I also looked into the Obesity Center at Chapman hospital. Good luck to you. It seems to be a never ending journey but hopefully we will both get there!!

No I have not heard of the NEW program. I did really like the facility in Tustin called the 0Band center. I have elected to go there, no hidden fees so far. Now we will wait & see when my insurance gives the final ok, Crossing my fingers....

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
