I am going to have to find out when they are. I did not really know about them. I have been seeing Dr Gandass since September. I had to have 6 months for my insurance.

I just has my sleeve on feb 20th by Dr. Gandsas. Everything went fine! I came home on the 21st and I'm doing pretty good. AAMC does have a support group that meets once a month. Not sure what the dates are.

Hi

I am getting sleeve with Dr Gandsas on May 8th. I love the support group. I have met many AAMC employees who have had sleeve or GBP with Dr. gandsas.

I'm ready for surgery now, but he is so busy it takes 2-3 months to get on the surgery schedule. I qualified for a March/early April date.

Love Arianne, but sometimes Jeannete kinda scares me. :)

Well due to other health complications I was not able to have a my sleeve. I'm sad but Gandsas said we can still do my surgery once I'm all through the woods with this..

I am so sorry!!! I'm sure you are incredibly frustrated.

I was very worried about some unforeseen testing, but I got my results and everything came out ok.

Did dr g give you an idea of what you need to do, and when he can reschedule?

      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! 😞
