Sleeved 10/6/12 by Dr Kelly. I'm feeling successful ; I started at 276 and I'm down to 215. The weightloss has definitely slowed down and my sleeve tolerates anything. No complications, but I had way more swelling than most and could not even get the dye down for the swallow test. I would do it again in a heartbeat but only if I omar were still with Dr Kelly. My life is changed completely.

I was sleeved 9/4/12 by Dr Thomas Borland. I've lost 61 lbs and quite a few jeans sizes (from 240 day of surgery to 179 today) the only 'complication' I had was that the stuff in my lungs after surgery made me cough which led to gagging and slight vomiting, it was a little scary because my surgery was outpatient (I was at the surgery center maybe 7 hours) but I got through it no problem. And I would DEFINITELY do it again, but like the previous poster said -- thank goodness I don't have to! Lol

I called Dr Borland office and a lady at the front desk answered. She was kind of rude. I felt rushed off of the phone. She wasn't at all interested in my questions when I was trying to find out about the payment process when all I wanted to know is if he does payment plans until it is paid in full. Like within six months before scheduling for the gastric sleeve surgery. I'm sure he is a great Doctor but that receptionist was very impolite. Every time I try to email him. He replies back. Contact the office for more information with the phone number. So I've moved on and im still looking. I'm leaning towards Dr Alvarez in Piedras Negras Mexico or Dr Gabriel Rosales.

      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... :(
