Anyone in AR ? What surgeon did you use?

Hi! I'm from Arkansas!! I haven't had surgery yet but am scheduled for February 26th. My surgeon is dr. Mark Gibbs. I will be at baptist. Have you had surgery? How's it going? Would be interested in hearing a fellow Arky's story!

I'm in Arkansas. I used Dr. Travis Goodnight in Van Buren and am very pleased.

Feb 26th?? That's just around the corner!! I don't have my date yet. I went to dr Fuller's seminar in sep and I needed to meet my requirements for my insurance. I think dr Gibbs is in the same clinic. How do you like him?? And what procedure are you having? Would love to chat more....

I had my surgery Dec 17th was self pay so it made sense for me to fly to Dallas for my surgery 12,200 all inclusive. Today I've lost 38 pounds since surgery had a text book recovery which I'm fortunate for!! I'm able to ear pretty much what ever I want now but only very very small amounts. I push myself to get 800 calories per day early on I was only getting 500-550 per day and my weight loss was slow, since I've upped my calories to 800 I've been averaging 3 pounds per week!! Best decision of my life just wish I would have done this 10 years ago!!

I do phone follow-ups and I admit I was a little concerned on what I would do if there were complications and my Dr was so far away but fortunately that didn't happen.

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

      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! 😞
