I did not use Turnquest, but HERE is a link to go to the search functionality for the forum. 49 threads are here with their name in it, so perhaps reading these or reaching out to the folks who went to him will be what you are looking for.

Good luck with your journey!

I definitely will! Perhaps we will create a group and invite Feb sleevers. Do let me know when you get a date. Also, let me know what hospital you select! I want to use Methodist Willowbrook but have been told it is up to the insurance.

I believe it is because when they submitted my paper work the insurance already knew what hospital I was using they actually told me! Oh and as soon as I get my date I'll be sure to let you know.

We WILL do it! I'll get my daughter to help. She knows how to do that stuff. Shall we call it:

February 2014 Bariac Surgery Group

There are still people having other types of surgery and we might lure a few of them too! I'll

make some flyers and take them to the hospital when I go AND I'll take some to Dr T's office. My friend Diana gets so much out of her group.

I guess if we can have this surgery, we can create a FB page!! Early morning so signing off but please keep in touch. I'm really not sure how one does that, but my email is

Cbusick@sbcglobal.net

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
