I'm in one FB group called "Drama Free WLS Buddies". I'm so sorry to hear of your leak--how long ago was your surgery?

I'm in that one to along with about 5 others. My surgery was 10/30 and my last 4th was 12/20

I have had no issues with Streeter so far. He does express his opinions about his choice for my surgery but oh well it's ultimately my choice.

I think all of the surgeons at Tobey are a little...ummmm...abrupt in their personal styles. I call Dr. Kruger "Lightning McQueen" because his exams/consults go something like "Heyhowyadoing, everythinggood? That'sgood,okaymakeafollowupappointmentwiththenurseonyourwayoutVrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooom!" Blink, and he's gone! 046.gif

But as one of my good friends (also a Kruger patient) reminded me, "Who cares about his people skills--you care if his hands are good in the O.R., and he is an amazing surgeon!" B)

Well i am glad i am not the only one to notice that. Did get a call from nurse practitioner today that Vitamin D is low but i for some reason expected that. So i went out and bought some only to find a bottle in my medicine cabinet. Oh well. I also bought the sublingual B12 because it was on sale. Need to find a Multivitamin that fits all the requirements.

They usually recommend Flinstones complete I bought a big bottle from bjs. I don't know if Streeter does a leak test besides in surgery but if so your gonna want to get some sugar free Gawain punch drop ins crystal lite isn't strong enough to add to that god awful taste I got the chills and puked from it and almost passed and didn't find out that I could stuff to it till my very last leak test

Flintstones chewable Complete Vitamins fit all the requirements that I got from Stacy at St. Luke's--and they're not too expensive!

Dr. Kruger only does the leak test during surgery--I think I'm glad about that. I just hope I don't get a leak after the surgery, when swelling goes down a bit.

      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...

      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
