I get sleeved on the 11th of January 2013. Dr kim at celebration is my surgeon. My insurance is medicre and they just oked my sleeve. It was a long wait from first sminar to now but it was medicare that was the hangup. They (medicare) just oked the sleeve. You will have a lot of test and classes befor you get a date. Good luck with your choice. I also went to Dr jawad's seminar and decided on Dr. Kim.

My husband and I both had our VSG done by Dr. Patrick Domkowski in Sebastian. I would highly recommend him and the staff at Sebastian River Medical Center.

Dr Keith Kim at celebration health. I was planning on having surgery with him but insurance denied me. I went thru a long 6 mo journey with him and his staff attempting to get insurance approval. Great facility and top notch staff!

I have had the Lap Band, the Lap Band removal and the Sleeve surgery all done by Dr. Domkowski. Awesome surgeon and great person. I would HIGHLY recommend him, or his associate. the office staff is great. I never felt stupid for asking questions, or judged in any way. the way I like to explain it is that you will always wait in the waiting room, but when he is in the room with you, he is focused on you and your needs.

Awesome!

      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?

      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?
