Hey there. I am 5 days post op and wondering if anyone else is in their first week from the Dallas/Ft Worth area. I had my surgery 9/19 by Dr Holden out of Dr David Kim's office. Everything has gone well so far. Started my full liquids today and tolerated them well. Haven't felt this full in a while! So if you're in the area let me know. I'd love to find some people around that are going through this journey that I can stay in touch with and hopefully compare notes!

Awesome! So was Victory. I'm still on full liquids too and have had very few hiccups. I tried to take the Vitamins and they made me sick so the PA told me to wait until I start eating purees to try again.

There is a DFW group here at VST http://www.verticals...worth-sleevers/ it's mostly quiet, but there is a list available of all the support groups in the DFW area. I *HIGHLY* recommend getting involved in these so that you can get info and share experiences from veterans and new sleevers alike. Some of them are patient-led, some are doctor/hospital/med professional led.

The list is here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/89017-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/

My surgery was done by Dr. Kim on 8/5. I am doing great. No issues. I still don't have much of an appetite.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
