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!

Mars lbs thanks for replying! When is your surgery date? I am waiting on insurance approval. I will likely be a Feb sleever. How about you?

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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
