Hi Georgia Girls,

Thanks so much for your responses! If you haven't already, post what city/town in which you live and the date of your surgery. Mine is coming up in a few weeks... Nov. 19th and I'm venturing off to Mexico for it. Don't worry, I've researched it thoroughly. Perhaps we can all get together in a few months after we're all done with our surgeries if we live close enough to each other. :)

I had thought of going to Dr. Macik before I found out my insurance wouldn't cover anything related to WLS. What do you think about him?

I think Dr. Macik is great. He has a great record and his staff are very nice. He is very careful. I like that in a surgeon. I am a self pay due to insurance exclusions. He seems comparable to others in the area.

One of my friends had the lap band surgery with Dr. Macik and had nothing but good reviews with him.

I started my process with Dr. Titus Duncan before finding out that my new insurance policy excluded wls..

      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
