oh I have so much to say. but I am not sure if I should. id be afraid one of her patients would tell her some girl online was talking about her. overall the surgery has been successful for me in the weight loss aspect. I am 18 months out and lost 168 pounds. I was 330 now 162. I am pretty sure my weight loss has stopped now. I have been bouncing between 161 and 165 for the last month or so. I am not sure if I have negative opinions of dr mccloskey or just the surgery in general. my surgery did not go as planned. i had laparscopic surgery. then the next day i had to be cut open all the way. i have a scar down my abdomin about 10 inches long. I feel she is a good doctor. but I have been complaining about chronic upper abdominal pain for a year. I started saying something last October when I was 6 months out. i was told i went through major surgery with the nature of my surgery and what happened. they said give it more time to feel better. i complained at 9 months. was told the same thing. 12 months told the same. just ask the same questions. what are you eating, are your taking Vitamins. how much of what. how often do you move your bowels. i keep telling them the same thing. finally at 12 months out and 9 months of complaining i was sent for a catscan. nothing shows up and i am back to square one. so then i decided to go to my primary care doctor. she ask all the same questions i answer for mccloskey. my primary care doctor showed concern that i say i had gastric bypass and i only go to the bathroom once a week. yet mccloskey didn't seem alarmed by that. a weeks worth of waste in your intestines will cause severe pain according to my primary care. on my own intuition i started adding Fiber power to everything i eat and drink. what do you know, i have been going to the bathroom at least every other day and i do feel a world better. but i still have something going on in me.i still have constant pain. i feel like i am screwed right now because i don't have insurance at this time. i say i have pain and the first thing she says is i cant give you narcotics. wtf? well, that's just a portion of my story. i left out everything pertaining to the actual surgery. just do not go into surgery thinking everything will be smooth sailing. crap happens during surgery they try to tell you are normal risks.

Thank u for sharing your story. I know they're risks involved. But not having it is worse in my opinion.

      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!!
