You need a referral. I would ask your primary. I've heard good things about both in MN and FLA.

We have a campus in phoenix Arizona too. I work at the Florida campus. If you are near florida call 904-953-2000 and ask to speak to someone in the central appointment office. They'll tell you exactly what you need to do.

Thank you to all for your support and information...I'll be going to uw Madison university hospital next, there's a doctor there who has pioneered nerve pain treatment( love Google). And if they can't help me, it's off to mayo. By the way....I'm proud of all of us...doing great! I'm going to start really focusing on feeling good rather than how I look. So, I'm wrinkly, I can walk and swim, and I look pretty damn good in clothes. I'm 48, wrinkles were going to happen; now I'll be around to enjoy them!

Idk about u guys but..my butt hurts every time I sit for more than a few minutes! I don't miss being fat but I miss apparently having enough cushion back there to not make sitting down literally a pain in the rear! Car rides..work when I am sitting..it all pretty much sucks! Tell me I'm not the only one?? I love my new body..just not having to sit for long periods of time!!

I was the girl once nicknamed..."Big booty Judy." Needless to say that doesn't apply anymore.

Ok I have finally found a pic of when I really was at my heaviest. It was my husbands cousin who took it without me really knowing it cause I avoided pics at all cost. I kinda didn't really have many reference pics. I started crying seeing this. This reminds me just how wonderful rny was for me..not counting the curing sleep apnea and all the other health stuff. 13 more lb to my personal goal even tho my dr thinks I could still get a bit smaller..I think it just might be possible!

I do :) I honestly am trying hard to focus on the positive after losing the twins. Things still feel crazy and hurt so bad but there's still some good left in my life. I have my hubby and son and I can say I am blessed no matter how bad losing the babies hurt. If I ever get these hormones right...idk...at least I know I can get pregnant now. Rny was a success.

I admire your positive attitude, especially in the face if such a loss. I think of you often, and your family is in my prayers.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
