Hey there...I usually see Haley also. But I guess I felt pretty informed overall. I pretty much stick to Protein, although, I eat pretty normally just a lot less of it! I never go to any of the support groups...I guess I kind of consider this site to be my support group. I have experienced a couple of stalls...I think the longest one was two weeks. My goal is to lose 100 lbs so I only have 38 to go and I am only a little over 4 months out.

well!!!! How do i find em ??? lol!!!

I'm from Cookeville and I was sleeved in Nashville at Centennial Oct 22, 2012 by Dr Olsen.

I'm a Dr. Olsen patient too! Sleeved Dec. 10th. I like their program and felt prepared for how life would be post sleeve. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I am finally pain free and starting to eat regular food. yay!

Hey you Dr. Olsen patients! I am getting sleeved January 9th with Dr Houston. How was your experience being at the Centennial Women's Hospital during recovery? And how has your recovery been thus far? I imagine since these doctors work close together, that maybe the experience will be similar!! I would love any info!

I am going to be getting mine done at Centennial too. I don't have a date yet but I'm going to be seeing Dr. Dyer, I think.

I'm from the BORO. I was sleeved nov 14th. I'm doing good. Hit a stall a couple weeks ago.
