I had my surgery with Dr. Barker on June 13th. I don't have any complaints about my surgery and recovery at all. The only thing is that I felt like since he has SO MANY patients I get kind of a rushed feeling. But saying that, it also made me feel good to know that he has done SO MANY surgeries and has many years of experience. Good luck!!!

I feel the same way. Its almost like a cattle drive. I had my 2nd consult and stress test today and am good to go for next Wednesday. Did your surgery go as scheduled on your day? How many nights did they keep you?

He's my dr also I had surgery June 20th!! He's a very busy man and it does feel rushed but I had a good surgery no complications and the busier he is means the more experience he has!! :))

Yes that is true. I have definately been overlooking the "cattle drive" part of it. I just need to remember I've got a great doc that's obviously very popular. That's for your input.

Dr. Davidson out of presby Dallas did mine, but at the new forest park medical center. Wow! What a wonderful facility and staff! His bedside manor leaves much to be desired but he is good- as well as busy, but I did not feel that from him or his staff over the other billboard surgeons -I'm sure all very qualified as well.

      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... :(
