Sebastien in Daytona? He's a great surgeon he did by daughter n laws bypass and took my gallbladder out a few years ago!

He also did mine. I've been very happy with him, the staff and the entire experience. I'm seeing him today for my 1month follow up.

I completely agree withClinincal Nurses experience. Mine was the same. Everyday is better than the day before. I'm 4 weeks out. My best I advise is follow everything they tell you to do. I had many "aha"moments after surgery when things came up and my brain went "I get it"!

There can be 2reasons why he wants you to loose weight. 1) it makes you a safer patient on the OR table...less risk for complications. 2) he wants to know you are committed to making the dietary changes needed to be successful. To many people want the surgery and the weight loss, but don't want to 'give up' or changes the foods they are eating, like the breads, rice, and sweets. I had a friend in that situation. They wouldn't assign a surgery date until she made the commitment. Before she did, Ll I heard was " well, I can't just stop eating....." Once she did the weight dropped and she is doing beautifully. She now understands that she had to make that real emotional commitment to change. She also has not had any complications. Hope that helps....we're here for you

I know, i saw dr. Noel and thought he was so young. I know every appointment is different but can you tell how long was the physc appointment. The reason why i ask is because i have another appointment that day to see my pcp. And i have heard stories about physc appointments can take 2 to 6 hours.

      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.

      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! 😞
