Hi everyone. I' m new to this whole process, I have my first appointment is on the 24 of April and I'm very nervous but excited. Have anyone had the sleeve surgery done at tulane medical center by Charles bellows? If so how was the experience? I really would love some feedback...

I would really like to know how many surgeries a US doc preforms per day. That would be a major concern for me. Would you chose a doc that does 30 patients a month or one that has done 144 per month. Also factor in the years he has been doing it. Just something for you to think about when you go for a visit.

Hi. We had our surgery same day different hospitals. Dr. Lavins my doc. I too had a stall last week. But I have progressed. ,J too am still tired. Exercise consist of walking up and down the driveway. But I see progress more in how I look than the scale. I wish j would have measured my body from the beginning. That way I could track the changes. But stay strong. We will get to our goal weight. You should meet our group for lunch. Kellsbells usually post when and where we go. Were all in different stages and its really helpful. Hope to hearfrom u soon.

Hi finally4Me,...i put in a call to the dietician about the stall...im very disheartened by it....im sticking to the plan as close as possible and to not see anything change in 2 weeks is driving me...my brother had his sleeve done one yr ago and the pounds just fell off him! Ughhhhh! in less than one yr he lost 160+ pounds ..i have thyroid problems so that might be a part of it too. Ive read on this site if you increase calories and Protein,you can break the stall,but if you can hardly get in what you are how can you increase!?...its great that we had our surgeries on same day, maybe we can exchange ideas and recipes and whatever as we make this journey together...just cant figure out what to do next when im doing things by the book and are stuck already!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
