I Would Love A Mentor In Nola Area



Recommended Posts

My name is Ginger. And would love someone who's done this to talk to. I'm done with my preop test. Just have one more appointment and authorization can start. Just worried about weight lose. Or lack of. Ive been pre op dieting for2 1/2 months and only lost 14lbs. And I have not cheated a lot. Hardly at all. Just worried ins will deny me cause lack of weight loss. Hope to hear from someone.

Hi Ginger!! I'm in NOLA! I was sleeved about 5 1/2 weeks ago by Dr. Lavin. I am 34. 5'6 and 242lbs on surgery day. I think that was also my highest weight and I did not have any pre-op diet.

I have lost 39lbs.

I was a self pay so I can't answer any insurance questions.

C.C.

There is a lady on this forum that goes by MegInNOLA. Might want to look her up too. She's quite a success story. :)

      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! 😞
