I'm not ATL, but I'm gonna reply anyway. I do love ATL...does that count? :) I was in at 6am for an 8am for surgery on a Thursday. Released Friday night. Was a vegetable on Saturday and Sunday, other than getting up to walk, and went to work on Monday. I have a white collar desk job, keep in mind...nothing crazy. But I've felt great and had no issues. I'm almost a month out, down almost 30 lbs...started at 244, now at 215. Zero regrets!!!

I'm on the southside, McDonough. I had surgery on 8/6. Went in Tues. 8:30 am stayed over night at Gwinnett Medical Center Duluth and was out around 7:00pm Wednesday. Center for Surgical Weight Management at Gwinnett Medical was awesome. Dr. Robert Richard was the best. He answered all my questions and returned a 911 call from me on a Sunday within minutes of calling the service.

In 19 days I'm down 26.2 lbs. including the 2 weeks prior on the liquid diet. I have Federal BCBS so all of the normal "hoops" were required. But I'm already on a cpap so no sleep study. And I had a hiatal hernia confirmed through my gastro dr so no endo was required. I had about $500 out of pocket for office visit co-pays and the purchase of the Meal Replacement shake mix for 2 weeks.

I had mine with Dr. Johnson at Emory John's Creek 12/13/13. I started at 315 and am now 195, so down 120 pounds a little over 10 months out.

      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! 😞
