How was your experience with Dr. Rod? I am going there next month for VSG. Anything I need to know about the hospital, staff or just anything.

I loved Dr. Rod!! I would tell anyone and everyone to go to him! I have a blog post that had info I can send you. The hospital is like a resort and the staff is amazing! I know a very limited amount of Spanish but I just used the list they gave me. I would point to what I wanted in English and they would look on the other side to read it in Spanish. My main issue was gas pain so Gas-X and a heating pad were my bestfriends. When I was in pain the gas-x was amazing at getting that gas pain to go away. If there is anything else you want to know feel free to email me!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I did It too. I know I'm young but my sister waited til her 40s to have her's and she told me if she had known she wouldn't have waited. I honestly thought the smallest I could get was an 8 so the fact that I'm wearing a 4 seems like a dream!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
