Hi, I'm working my way through the pre-op requirements and was wondering if anyone has used Dr Brad Watkins. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

I had Chris Northup in Cinti. 5 months out and down 66 lbs. what group is Watkins with? I went to 4WL Seminars before I chose Northup. At the time he was the most qualified around here.

Hi Jenn,

What made you decide on Dr Watkin? Are you on your pre-op diet? What does Dr Watkin want you to have for food during

this time? Is his pre-op diet 2 weeks? I still have 1 more supervised consult with my family doctor. I met with Tonya for my psych visit and go for my NUT counseling first week of June. Good luck with your surgery. You must be really excited.

I had Northup 13 months ago. I've had no problems and am down 92 lbs without exercise due to unrelated pain issues. I want to loose 16-20 more. I still have great restriction, my blood tests came back normal at the one yr draw. Best of luck with your surgery. How many sleeves has Watkins done?

Hi Mokee,

Congratulations on your sleeve! That's so exciting that you're down 92 lbs and counting... I decided on dr. Watkins over Northup due to insurance and distance too. Also, hubby & I met with dr. Watkins and we felt very comfortable. I never asked for a number of sleeves he's done. I'm certain dr. Northup is an amazing surgeon too. Hope you have awesome continued success!! Keep us posted. Getting nervous....with only 10 more days until surgery. liquid pre op 2-week fast is challenging especially with a hubby who's as fit as a fiddle and 4 kiddos. But I know I can do this. Best of luck to you and all of you!!!

      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...

      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
