Recommended Posts

Dr. John baker is a great doctor and his office is full of patients where are all the people that are in his office??? Don't want to let other people what a great service they got in the office. I was very happy with my appointment and i am looking forward to my surgery 10/20/10. Would like to hear from others that have used dr. Baker.

HI Arkawanna, I am also a pt. of Dr. Bakers and I am really excieted about getting my Band done. I first started setting up appts to have surgery back in 1997. Now I am finally at the point that I know for a fact that I need to do this... I would not have become a full blown Diabetic and full blown fibromyalgia if I would have just followed through with it back in 97. Well this is happening on the 17th. yea baby in 2 days at this time I will be sipping my meals. I will be glad when this part of the road is completed. I really do not know how to do these threads or how to set up a tickler to show my progress so I have to wait until my daughter can show me how. Dr. Baker is such a great doc. Drowboat

Hello, glad to hear you are going to do it. You won't regret it one minute. I am going to get my first fill on the 17th wednesday. So if I knew your name I would come see you in the hospital. You will be great. It is no big deal. I was up walking the halls all night so I could go home the next day. I want you to be strong and the less drugs you use after surgery the better. A little to help you sleep but don't get to pushing the button to much or you will get a head ache from hell. Morphin!@!!! Take care and I hope I can come by and say Hello. cherie Neal

I went for my first appt on Tuesday, just waiting for approval through my insurance. Once they get approval they will call me to come back in. They did say I would be able to have it done before the end of the year and that was one of my goals. Good luck!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
