Arkansas Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi my Names Jim Boston I'm from Fort Smith and I was sleeved June 29, 2011 by Dr, Travis Goodnight @ Summit Medical Center In Van Buren, Arkansas. He was great! it was by far the Easiest surgery I have ever had. I was back at work in 5 days....

I have had very little problem mostly the psycological issues, learing curve. My brain was telling me to go look in the fridge, and to eat faster. I just had to learn to turn that stuff off... and it has gone pretty well so far...

I am currently about 357.5lbs preop weight was 387lbs down from a high weight of 474lbs in December of 2009

I have heard of alot of folks from my area going up to see Dr. Roller i just did not want my surgeon to be 45 minutes away if anything went wrong. so I chose to go with Dr. Goodnight...

I didn't realize you were in AR!! :) I'm in Conway.

Jim- just replied to one of your other posts, but I will post here as well. I also had surgery with Dr Goodnight and cannot say enough positive things about him!! Mine was 3/28/11 and I'm down 67 since surgery day (115 overall). I travel to FS some or work, so I'm hoping to make one of the upcoming support group meetings.

We should have an AR sleevers meet up sometime b/c I think there are a few more of us on here. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
