Congrats! Don't be surprised if you waiver on your decision between now and then. I did it a hundred times.

I've got Spring Break envy. I'm getting mine done over Spring Break too--a little early, actually--except I'm getting it done on 3/22, which is the Friday before my Spring Break officially starts. I miss semesters :(

I'm terribly jealous of your peace. I can't find it! Im still torn between the same 2 surgeons. Sigh.

I'm happy for you. :)

I've been at peace since I first started this journey. I have always felt comfortable with Dr Lopez. I am glad you have finally found peace. I believe we will be truly happy with him.

Thank you. I just kept second guessing myself but I'm over that now. I really am feeling comfortable now. I hope I can sustain this peace and comfort.

Have you been sleeved yet? If so, would you mind sharing your experience? If you haven't, when are you going?

I would really look around Dr.almanza and the Internet he is performing 10-12. A day

To have a very sanitized OR is very important each surgery takes 1.5-3 hours depending on each patient

I would do some more investigating I did.

It's very important you want the best doctor and team with the doctor and the support staff for you

This is a very major surgery your going to be receiving .

My family doctor is very pro for this surgery but only likes a couple of the doctors performing it. He helped e lots pick he correct doctor for me

No, i haven't been sleeved yet, but did do alot of research and I just felt that Dr Lopez is the right choice for me. I'm getting sleeved in Feb. between the 18th & 22nd. thru ALM. Other coordinators from other sites are trying to get me to choose their dr. but I'm content with Dr Lopez.

YAY! I got that peaceful feeling when I realized that I was choosing from among a whole group of fantastic and well qualified doctors so it was just a matter of finding the right "fit". Now if I could just get that peaceful easy feeling about booking my flight. I hate thinking about squeezing my size 28 ass (can we say ass on this forum?) into a 17 inch seat.. I'm actually considering taking the train to Boston to visit my sister for a few days and then flying out of there so I can take jet blue. They have an 18.25 inch seat.... and trust me, that extra 1.25 inch makes a big difference!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
