I found him wonderful. I followed all instructions and had no gas pains, vomiting, nausea, etc... I walked in recovery and so far I have shown a loss every time I get weighed. I honestly can't say anything but good things about my experience at UPenn. or with their program. I love that he prescribes omeprazole and colace from day 1. I haven't experienced any severe issues with Constipation or acid.

I don't I eat healthy fats but keep them low. I also do natural sugar from fruit and such and on occasion real sugar or raw honey. I am allergic to artificial sweeteners.

Hi @@LinKo! This post popped up when I was searching the forum for my surgeon - Dr. Rogers at Hershey. :) She did my gastric bypass in 2009; she has also taken out my gallbladder, fixed twisting intestines/scar tissue twists twice, jumped in for emergency surgery for a perforated ulcer, and most recently (May 11th) repaired a strangulated hernia in my small intestine. Anyway, just wanted to say that Dr. Rogers is AMAZING, and you're in very capable, qualified, caring hands. Her LNP, Lisa, is awesome quite awesome! And Bonnie Wilson, too - you'll probably meet her in the hospital if you haven't yet had surgery.

Thank you so much. That definitely puts my mind at ease. I've just started the process so I think I'm pretty far.from surgery.

I had my sleeve in January. Down 74lbs. Down 5 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes. I'm doing pretty good, I feel good and have a lot more energy. I went off my insulin, just pills now and my sugars are good. I had a few problems in the beginning but things are really on the upside right now.

      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!!
