My profile says kimbeeintennessee, but I am from Rigby. I had my sleeve done while I was temporarily in Tennessee. Now I need to find a doctor for my follow ups here. I had my surgery in February of 2012. My one year is coming up.

Wow, I think there are some doctors in Idaho Falls that will see you. If not you can try St. Lukes Bariatics Surgery. Here is the sight. http://www.stlukesonline.org/boise/specialties_and_services/Bariatric_Surgery/?utm_source=stlukesonline&utm_medium=redirect&utm_campaign=shortcut%2Bbariatrics

My doctor is Dr. Korn he and his staff are great!

Thanks, Pinkeye. I haven't been on in a while, I think I need some interaction! I changed my profile a little since I am back home now. No longer kimbeeintennessee! Couldn't do it from my ipad. I have been totally stuck since the holidays, and I really need to get back on track. I was under 200 before Thanksgiving, but I crept up to 207. Dangit!

Hi Kim,

My name is Sherri and live in Idaho Falls. I just had my sleeve done on Oct. 8th. in Mexico. I'm not sure what to tell you.....there are no Dr.s here in the area that do the sleeve, very few have even heard of it, closest is SLC or Boise.

Just before I had my surgery I started seeing Dr. Shawn Spiers (an internist) here in Idaho Falls, and like him alot. I think any good general family practice Dr. could do your follow up, I just choose to go with an internist since I have a history of heart attck and diabetes.

If you have other questions just message me, it's nice to know I'm not the only one in the area :wub:

      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?
