I don't have a date scheduled yet. I'm completing the last 6mths of a weight management program that I have to do. I complete that in August. After that I can schedule the surgery.

Hey there! I live in Fredericksburg. My surgery was this past Monday and I am home watching the Olympics and figuring out how to get all this liquid and Protein in.

I am also in the Fredericksburg area! I started in 2009 with Dr. B in Richmond for the band, but switched to Bluepoint midway through as they were opening a stafford location soon.

Had lapband, yada yada, had lapband removed. Sleeve with Bluepoint 12/4/12.

Ugh! My hair is falling out like crazy and it's driving me batty. It's so thin now.

I'm not getting my Protein in. I hate most Protein supplements and am having a tough time with that in general. My weight loss is all but stalled

I'm in a rough spot right now. :(

What type of Protein supplements are you using

I ask because now is the time to be creative. I struggle too but finding different ways so that I do not taste it is key

Did he tell you what bougie(I hope I spelled it right) size he uses?

Hello! I just had my consult with the NP at St. Mary's. I selected Dr. Bautista as the surgeon as I went to his seminar in July. I have already finished up my 6 mth req with PCP. I'm scheduling my psych evaluation and then nutritionist visit. The NP told me it would be about 8-10 weeks for Aetna to approve. Do you think that is reasonable or could it be sooner?

I'm excited yet nervous!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
