Hey there, I am supposed to have surgery with Dr. Wright also. I guess you are banded already? How are you doing? I have my last weight loss visit Monday 9/10/12.

I'm getting pretty nervous. I'd love to hear from someone who had surgery with my doctor. Thanks and take care :) -Kelly

I had surgery on December 11, 2012 with Dr. Wright. He is amazing. Vert professional and I can now barely see my scars. I go in every two weeks for fills until I am in the Green zone. They are very supportive and I never leave feeling like a failure. Great choice in doctors. Good Luck.

I had surgery with Dr.Carcamo and true results on Feb 5th. So far everying is going well, I have lost about 22 pounds since my pre-op diet. I would love to meet some more friends here! I went to support group meeting with TR, but there were only 3 of us there. I was slightly disappointed. I hope everyone else is doing great!

It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm. It's off Fredrickburg on datapoint

, I think you're referring to the same location. If you call the office they can put you on the email list so they can send you a reminder.

So far things are going as advertised, just need to stay with not rushing my meals and smaller bites. I have lost about 45lbs since surgery day March 20th.

Breakfast is my biggest problem. Things never go as planned.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
