Hello,

My name is Tracy and I am new to this site. There seems to be a lot of helpful information and caring people on here. I was going to get the Lap Band at first, as I was with another clinic and they upsold it. I found out they had an F from the BBB. I found Dr Welle and read more about him and his practice, I was impressed. I found out about the Sleeve from them, and went to talk with him yesterday and it seems like such a better choice for me (both the sleeve and his practice).

I am excited to start this new journey and since I am self-pay (my Cigna plan has no bariatric coverage), I will not have to wait long. About 2-3 weeks until surgery, depending on how fast I can get pre-op testing done.

I look forward to talking with you all and looking at the information on this site.

Good luck Tracy, we will probably be about the same time. I get my sleeve on 14 August in Brisbane Australia and start pre op Optifast diet today. I am very happy i chose to have a sleeve over a bad. Just too many negatves with a band for my liking. This is a great site as we are all going through the same thing. Keep us posted on your progress.

      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! 😞
