I'm in Arlington and trying to pick a surgeon I've been to doctor Kim and I'm set to go to doctor Nicholson... but I would love to have a bariatric support group thats local in the Metroplex I don't have anyone that is very supportive of this... it would be great to have some workout buddies, I know doctor Kim has a support group it only meets once a month it would be good just to have some women to sit with n go through everything together and even sit and plan together especially to lean on during pre diet and post op... Brneyd79@gmail.com hope to meet some of you... I'm trying to decide right now between a sleeve or bypass... I just don't want to do this alone my mom says to do Weight Watchers for 6 months, cut carbs blah blah... as if I haven't tried all of that over and over again.... no 1 in my family has a weight problem and they just don't get it, they think they're being helpful but their comments really are negative

I am using Dr. Swanson at Baylor Grapevine. Tomorrow morning is my surgery!

Does he work with Dr. Matin? Either way, Baylor has great doctors.

I'm in Midlothian. Just south of Dallas. How is everyone's journey so far?

Highest wt: 240

Surgery day:229

Today:231

I'm 4 days post op and I guess the weight gain is from Water retention and swelling but I sure will be glad to see the scale move again!

Lisa :-) surgery date: Dec. 4th, 2012

      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! 😞
