Hi all!

I am scheduled for surgery on Feb. 5. I am having the surgery here in my native DR. Even though we are a 3rd world country, I am having my procedure done with the best of the best, and am totally confident in my doctor. I think this is the kind of procedure that you dont look for deals with. The only thing that kind of scares me is the drainage tube they leave in after surgery. YIKES. I hope to be of support to all of you!

Hey. Welcome. I considered going to the DR for my surgery. Who's your doctor over there? I was going with Dr. Dominguez in Hospiten, but ultimately ended up getting the procedure in the States.

Oh, he really is the best! You are in excellent hands. I have family in the DR (which is why I was thinking of having surgery there) and they know quite a few people who had the sleeve done by him. All good experiences.

I am very confident in him. I also have a few friends that have gotten sleeved by him and all have positive feedback. How has your expirience with your sleeve been?

No problems for me as far as the procedure or recovery. No nausea, vomiting, pain. My biggest issue has been dealing with head hunger and staying away from junk food since I am able to tolerate anything I eat. It's a process.

      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!!
