PaperBullets,

I hope all went well today and you are recovering nicely. Please let us know.

Dr. Yoo is my doctor too. I haven't yet decided if I am doing a band to sleeve revision yet. When you feel better, please PM me with your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks!

I went through Mission Weight Management in Asheville. Dr. Irani did my surgery one week ago today. They are amazing there. I am very pleased with my whole experience through them. They have some of the top surgeons in the state as well as doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, and support staff. I really liked that Dr. Irani was a women. I didn't really matter at first, but I'm glad because now I feel more comfortable. I also saw Dr. Chris Edwards too and he's hands down one of the best.

Me too @ mission weight!! They are indeed fantastic!! When I called to tell them I called and had an approval from cigna I was crying sooo hard. She let me cry and was genuinely happy and thrilled for me. Saying this was the best part of her job. The surgeons at Regional Surgical are great. I have heard great about Dr. Irani. My mom worked in the OR with the others and was confortable with any of them, but I choose Dr. W. Allen Bradshaw. He is sooo great and understanding. I had my gall bladder removed by a surgeon no longer at his practice and he left sludge in me putting me back in the hospital for a week. Dr. Bradshaw took care of me then. Great bedside manor. And he's HOT!!! Haha! I'm getting sleeved Aug 22. Excited!!

Hi, Dr. Adolfo Fernandez at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston Salem will be doing my sleeve. He did my band placement ! He is awesome and has a wonderful and comprehensive team ! They are a blue cross blue shield center of excellence too so I know that helps with some insurance approvals. Hope this helps dde01

Considering dr. Fernandez myself but haven't heard a whole lot on him. He's close to home for me.

I am 3 weeks post op with Vilanuejva. I see him in Ballantyne with Carolinas Weight Management. I absolutely love him and the staff. He has been great to work with and no, he doesn't send you home with a drain.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
