Hi, I live in Memphis, TN & I've completed every prerequisite for wls. I had psych eval with Dr. Patricia Kelley. Have any of you? What was the outcome? Did you pass or fail?

It's the group Dr. Kelley used to lead. It is now peer lead in the St. Catherine room. 630 to 730. You get to ask others that have had the surgery over a year ago questions. It's all questions about anything pertaining to the surgery. Dr. Weaver did mine as well.

I have Dr. Weaver as well. I've heard she is the best! Silly but I dislike that she has so many patients that my pre-op appointment is scheduled 6 weeks away & my surgery probably won't be until end of April (lol). I was hoping to have it done middle of March when I'd have the most help available to me. Oh well. Still excited about this journey. I wish you all the best. Hope I'll get a chance to meet at one of the meetings. I'm going on the 6th.

Oh girl I am great except I had to be rushed to the ER yesterday in major pain. The CT scan showed a 4mm kidney stone that's on the move from the kidney to the bladder. The good news is that the blood work showed all my Vitamin levels and Protein levels were great. How are you?

Oh no! Thank goodness you are ok now. Did they say how you got it? I'm doing good. I'm 10 pounds from my goal ( I've changed it as I don't think I need to lose as much as I originally thought). So just trying to stay focused and follow the plan.

No they didn't. But I googled kidney stones after gastric bypass and it said it was pretty common after the bypass.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
