Sounds like you are not ready to commit yet.

To the surgery? Committed. To a surgeon? Working on it.

I don't know anything about those surgeons, and I think it would be hard to choose long distance! It was so important to me to have a surgeon (and the practice) that "got it" beyond the surgery - I needed the long term support! Many say they offer it, but when I found the doc I went to, I knew this was what I was looking for.

Suggest thinking about your most important criteria and what it is you are really looking for... then you will know it when you find it!

I feel the same way. Committed to the surgery.. The patient coordinators with their own agendas are becoming a pain my a**. I think dr Lopez and dr Ponce both seem to be good. I'm sure you'll be fine choosing either one. I'm leaning on dr Lopez now in puerto Vallarta.

      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! 😞
