Make sure you are walking every day too. I usually walk around the block a few times and if I feel good I will do 1or 2 more. Walking helps get everything moving and burn calories. The more walking the better at this stage since you are not really consuming too many calories a day and walking will increase the calories you burn everyday. If you burn more calories than you consume you will loss weight.

How much are self pays in Hampton Roads having to spend on the surgery? I found out that Dr. Clark charges around 14K, Dr. Terracina charges around 16K, Sentara Metabolic Weight Loss Center in Norfolk charges $21K+. Is anyone aware of any other reputable doctors that perform the sleeve surgery for less?

I haven't found anyone any cheaper but I will say that Dr. T's fee dosen't include any pre-op tests or visits after either I think. I know for sure not the pre-op. Dr. C includes all pre-op tests, the surgery, hostpital, drugs, etc., and a year of checkup ups, gym classes and nutrition classes. He is double board certified in surgery and medicine and really wants you to succeed in maintaing your loss.

I have my surgery scheduled for July 10th with Dr. Clark in Newport News. When comparing his program to Dr. Terricina's I just felt like Dr. Clark's team offered a bigger support group for post-surgery.

      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! 😞
