I too am using Dr. Watkins!

Finally I meet someone using Dr Watkins. How far along in the process are you? What made you decide to use him? I just liked him from the seminar and then when I met him at my initial appointment.

Buckeye: I saw one of their billboards driving home from work. So I did an online seminar to learn more and went and met him. I liked him right from the get go to be honest. I liked how he took enough time to answer all of my questions. I also liked how he described is process to prevent leaks which I knew was the most likely complication, if any, were to occur.

Hey, I too is a Dr . Watkins patient. This is so exciting. I'm scheduled for surgery 8/5. Sounds like everyone here has already been sleeved. Curious to know how is everything going. Things are really moving fast for me and really don't have much support right now. I think when the actual surgery take place things will become surreal for them. I hope my family really steps up. Anywho hope to hear from someone soon.

I just finished my 4th day of my pre-op diet. Woo Hoo!! Not as bad as I thought it would be. Just making sure to hit my mark for calories and Protein. I had my pre surgery physical this past Friday and no problems. I go on Monday for my pre- op visit with Dr Watkins surgical nurse. Can't wait cause it's gonna be great.

Hey determined, I'm from Dayton.

Im having surgery on July 30 and i have people in my house that are going thru the process with me in order to learn how to support me but i also have someone who prepares my meals for me that sometimes tries to sabotage my efforts but that's when my real supporters step in and speak up. I'm disabled with mobility issues so it's very hard for me to stand and walk. My niece and nephew eat what i eat. They want to be healthy so they are starting now so that they dont become like me. I think one person in a household making changes is a recipe for failure especially if the household is on a limited income. If everyone makes the switch to a healthier lifestyle it's easier because everyone is supportive of one another and you don't have to buy different meals for everyone. Chances are if it's in the house you're going to eat it so just don't purchase anything unless it's healthy. I hope this helps a little.

Thx Ms.Geri my teenage daughter also is planning to get sleeved 6 months from now . However I start my pre-op liquid diet Monday and still have to cook for my family. I love to cook so this is going to be challenging. My teen can't cook because she works and go to school and my husband has been banned from the kitchen since he once tried to cook me dinner for one of our anniversaries by putting a bag full of frozen chicken qtr in the oven, stuck together and all sprinkled with seasoning salt, hot sauce and onions. LOL, gotta love him and it is out of the question for my toddler, although she likes to help in her play kitchen :)

However, thx so much for your insight. I wish you the best of luck on this long journey of weight lost and good health.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
