I'm from Four Oaks NC (30 minutes south from Raleigh). I plan to do my surgery with Duke and got to my seminar on Auguest 22. I'm just starting on my journey, hopefully it won't take forever to get to the surgery!

Hi All,

I am looking to start a support group in Cornelius, NC. I own a coffee shop in Cornelius and am looking to host an evening for both those you are about to have surgery and those that have already had it. I had surgery in Mexico and find that I am falling off the wagon so to speak, I just think it will be good to swap idea's and stories. Anyone interested please let me know.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hello NC I have not posted in a while I was sleeved on the July 12, 2013 at Rex Hospital my doctor was Dr Paul Enoch, my biggest complication my blood sugar dropped in the hospital that made me stay an extra day. Once home I was great I was in a pinch but not pain, I actually started walking 1 wk after surgery. My biggest problem I have had since was Constipation, nothing Water, stool softeners, phillips want handle. I feel wonderful I have more energy than I have ever had. This was the best decision I could have made in my life, off diabetic, blood pressure med, I love it. When I went for my consultation in Feb 2013 my weight was 274, my weight to date is 215. I live in Charlotte so I go to the YWCA daily still follow the 6, 9, 12, 3, 6, 9 snack and meal plan still eat like I'm suppose to this is a life style now. I did have a stall but I refuse to give up compared to how hard I have tried to lose weight and to no avail being sleeve has been good. My son's have a problem with the attention I now get. Lol. To all of you who are going you will do great follow your protocol(your rules) that your Dr give you. To those of you who have already been sleeve congratulation don't be discourage if you hit a stall, you may have to adjust either drink more water or Protein chg your exercise but whatever you do, dont give up keep the FAITH everyday may not be good but keep going the end results are worth it for all of us life changing

      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...

      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
