Good for you you will like him he's great. Him and Dr Soong are the best in my opinion. And the staff there are so nice and most have had surgeries so they are knowledgeable.

Those with Dr Atkinson:

How soon after your consult did you get your surgery date? Jessie said ill meet with a surgery coordinator after my appt but I'm trying to work around the timeline of everything. Especially since I'm paying cash...

I think mine was about 2 weeks. I payed in cash as well, & it seemed like process was very quick. I started seriously pursuing the process in September & had surgery early November. BEST thing I've ever done!

It can seem overwhelming at the end but just concentrate on the new you on the other side and it won't seem so bad.

Thanks! My appt is at 230 tomorrow and I hope to schedule the first week of March! I will let y'all know!!

I am getting excited!!

I have noticed a lot more "body issues" now that I know I'm doing something to make myself better. Anyone else notice a spike in lack of self confidence/esteem prior to surgery?

      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.

      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! 😞
