My intent is the be sleeved by Dr Lopez in March, as long as the funds are available (it's been a Murphy's Law kinda year). I would love to hear people who've used Dr. Lopez offer their thoughts and experiences on him. And how you're doing now, postop. Thank you in advance.

Yes I went through ALM with Dr. Lopez and couldn't be happier! Dr. Lopez is a very kind and caring doctor and his associates are as well. I am an R.N and felt that I received top-notch care at all times. My sister n law is in the process of booking with them. : )

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on him. I'm excited and scared to death. Simultaneously. How long ago were you there? Have you had a lot of success postop?

To me that is both good and a lil scary. Good b/c negative experiences tend to stand out like a sore thumb but scary b/c it can feel limiting when you're researching...

My first night was at the marriott and then two nights at the new hospital and then again at the marriott for two more nights. It was beautiful to wake up with flower petals all over the balcony! I am doing well, just eating popsicles cause i am so thirsty, but just not hungry for anything. Oh and im down 18lbs! : )

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
