That's crazy... I just moved from the woodlands and live now in Corpus!

That's fantastic! We will have to get together. I'm so glad to find someone in my area! Who is doing your surgery?

I have been researching a lot and have scheduled myself for my first seminar. Dr. Patel is whom I was recommended to from a nurse friend of mine so I'm going to check him out. Who is your doctor?

I'm using Dr. Dean McDaniel. He did my freinds gastric bypass and she was really happy with him...so far he has been great and I really like him. I know Dr. Patel does his surgery out of San Antonio and Dr. McDaniel does his out of Victoria. I also have a friend that got the lapband from Dr.Patel and she was really happy with him as well. I guess it's really just a toss up, but I know that I really like Dr. McDaniel and he makes me feel really comfortable.

I'm in Corpus and just had my VSG done Monday by Dr. Craig Chang out of Victoria (satellite office in Corpus). I highly recommend him. He is tough/strict, but also compassionate. He knows his stuff and I felt extremely safe in his surgical hands. I have friends who used Dr. Patel in San Antonio and they were happy with him. I do not know anyone close who has used Dr. McDaniel, but word is he is very nice. Where are you doing your surgery with Dr. McDaniel? My BCBS would only pay at Citizens in Victoria. Which was fine because everyone was really nice. Especially my nurses.

One night. I left around 5 pm on Tuesday. My doc had mentioned I could stay another night if needed but my husband had to work early Wednesday. I really wish I would have stayed one more night but I survived :-) good luck!

Yeah he said just to plan for a 1 night stay, but since I work for a hotel and I get a discount, I booked a room for 3 nights just so I wouldn't have to worry about traveling right away.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
