The bariatric centre of crap in my city will not allow me to continue to see the nutritionist. So yours will likely not as well. Reason being, different surgeon, if they recommend something different, and something goes wrong, they're liable... so they basically said not a chance in hell.... lol

 

I will be seeing my regular dr. he said he's has patience in the past do it, and that it's not really a big deal. However, there is an older semi-retired dr who used to refer people for the surgery, he is willing to see me... he thinks for "info" since Iwas originally going to go in August... but I'm going to show up on the 29th to my appointment and say TADA! I'm post op! lol

I decided to go to Dr Joya because someone I know went there and had no complaints. I also wanted to go for an extra few days and recover on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta. I am going on Jan 7 for a week staying at an all inclusive with one of my girlfriends and having the sleeve done on the 9th. Gerald is very fast to answer any of my questions and made me feel super comfortable. Can't wait!

OMGosh!!!! I love that I am not alone in this!!! First off, I'm super sorry that you have been dealing with that horrible news!!! I too would be devastated.

I personally am SET in going to Dr. Joya. I am trying to book by the end of this month and schedule for next next November. I ideally would like to use my thanksgiving holiday days off during my "recovery" period. I'm just waiting on my school loan $$$ to come in to put my deposit down. However, I'm trying to find a co-signer to sign on a personal loan for me. If that happens, then I'm going to go full charge and get it done sooner! Like ASAP! HA!

Did you end up going with dr joya? I'm set to see him in nov

      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! 😞
