No not yet. I'm doing the 6 month diet for insurance. But i'll be done with that on June 14. So I am really getting impatient.

I really like Dr. Heider as well. And it doesn't hurt that he is really easy on the eyes.

haha, yes he is a very good looking doctor! The nurses also spoke highly of him, which means a lot. They all said he was very kind and his patients generally did very well. Good luck with getting your surgery scheduled! Do you come to any support group meetings?

I was there last week for the 1st time. I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about my triggers.

I love Dr. Heider so much! I really trusted him, which was important to me. I like the program they have and I think I made a good decision to go with him instead of the Hickory program. Have you had your surgery yet?

Congratulations and have a smooth recovery, I'm a month away from my surgery and I can't wait. Do you know the buggie size they used on you?

No, I don't know what size. I know my doctor doesn't use boughies... he uses something similar. I asked him about it and he said he used something else. I'm not sure what or what size it was. His patients have had incredible success, so I trust him.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
