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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
