It really is.....where did you have yours done i had it at hospital Angeles by dr corvalas. I am happy with everything so far but would have like a name of a local doctor who knows about this procedure for the just in case. He did say he would give me a name I emailed the nutrishonist several times but no reply I'm going to try and call there on Monday I made the mistake of reading all the past post and there were 2 people that had complications 5 months out and felt great it is my only concern other than that I could live happily ever after :)

Hi davell23, glad to hear your doing great. I had mine done in Northern Westchester hospital, Mt. Kisco, NY. I loved the hospital and all the nurses and staff there. But do not like my surgeon. I dread going to see him for a follow up. He's on vacation after doing my surgery. He rushes you through your visit and is very rude and abrupt. But one of the best surgeons in the country. Nice talking to someone thats going through the same thing. :)

So Thanksgiving dinner has come and gone and I am so proud of myself! I did the cooking, hosted a lovely dinner and followed all of my rules.....and no melt down. I ate as I was supposed to and enjoyed myself thoroughly! Without being sick, eating too much and no pie at all :-) Sorry if I sound like I am crowing, but i really am proud of myself! I hope it went as well for everyone else. As a scuba diover, it is drilled into us "Plan your dive and dive your plan" This was "plan your eating and eat your plan" and just as in diving, it WORKED! Happy holidays everyone! Stay way away from the cookie tray!

He was very nice and really pleased with my weight loss. I am down 25 lbs in one month. I am so happy. My clothes are getting loose and I feel really good. Joining an exercise program soon. Just walking alot a couple times a week. Want to do more. Yippeeeeee!!!!!! Hope everyone else is doing good. Thanks for listening.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
