My doctor is Dr. Scott Pennington, Jr., Trinity Medical Center, Birmingham, AL. He is an awesome Christian doctor who works out of a faith-based hospital. I had nothing less than a great experience with him, his staff, and the hospital. He also has a partner, Dr. John G. Touliatos, who I hear is just as good. I have no regrets with this experience.

I was just sleeved by Dr Lee Schmitt on Dec 1st. Their office staff is wonderful, the support group is great, the hospital was wonderful-St Vincent's East. They are a Center of Bariatric Excellence. They have monthly seminars you can attend with no obligation. I have no regrets picking this office.

Yes definitely =) I'm doing great! The first 5 days were miserable lol.... I was weak and in pain... started regretting it.... and then I weighed and had already lost 20 pounds! I'm at 22 pounds now =) My high weight was 249 and now I'm at 227. They didn't weigh me right before surgery and my scales were broke at home so I really don't know how much I lost pre-op. Probably about 7 or 8 pounds because I know the first week of liquids I had lost 4. And my energy came back yesterday, thank God! I was going stir crazy =) I can tell on your ticker you have done awesome as well! Thats just a crazy amount of weight to lose in a couple of weeks =) I'm still shocked by it because a lot of people at the support group and on youtube that I had seen lost like 10-20 pounds the first month. SO I wasn't expecting it in a week!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
