Dr. Randall Baker - McLaren Northern Michigan (Petoskey)

I had my surgery in August in Grand Rapids, by Dr. Nagel. I've lost 50 #'s, not as much as I thought I would have lost by now, but I feel great.

I'm doing great. I am 85lbs down. 25 to goal but thats my own fault for not exercising through the fall and winter. I went from 289 (pant size 20-22) to 205 (loose 13/14) and a 2x tee to a L/XL. There's only a few things I can't eat now. Milk, really greasy foods, hot chocolate.... Nothing major. I'm very happy and would go through it all again in a heartbeat! I loved Dr. Baker. He is extremely knowledgable and personable. Kristie, Kate and the rest of the office have all been fantastic. Good luck to you!

I'm 3 days post op. I think Dr. Baker and Kristie did an amazing job. My hospital stay was pleasant Everyone was so nice and helpful.I think the key to everything working is following the Dr. orders.

I am waiting for insurance approval and Dr. Baker will be doing my sleeve soon, I hope. Right now the weather is rough here. I live in Cross Village just outside of Petoskey and Harbor Springs. I been really nervous, but to me Dr. Baker seems nice. Hope to be on the losing bench soon.

      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! 😞
