Recommended Posts

I have my surgery scheduled there and with him. But I'm reading some shady stories about this place. I went through 1-800-GET-THIN.

Haha. Yeah I probably should have BUT I did have my surgery through this company and I have no complaints at all. They are very efficient and got me approved and banded within 3 months wait period. My surgeon dr au was great. And he his work is great. He left my scars very minimal to where they will b invisible within a year.

I'm not sure why 1-800-GET-THIN has such s bad rep. But what I can say is dont believe all you hear, trust your instincts and go wherever they make u feel most comfortable.

Amanda, good Luck with ur journey. I assure u that your in good hands with dr Au. He Is a fantastic surgeon. If u hav blue cross I'm pretty sure u can get an approval over the phone. The approval is very quick. Check out the status of yours by calling or going online.

      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! 😞
