Hey there. I live a little south...near St Louis.

My Sis-inlaw just had the surgery. She's from your area. What surgeon did you use? She went out of state, but is looking for a fill doc.

I can't believe they got rid of the Chief!

Hey there! So glad to see a reply. I was banded by Sid Rohrscheib in Clinton Illinois. His office and staff are great and the other doctor that works with him actually was banded himself. Your sis should check him out.

Hi Nannyjh,

I'm still working on getting mine to work too. This the info that may help you.

How to post a ticker from our sister site TickerFactory.com?

If you wish to use tickers from our sister site TickerFactory.com in your signature or your post follow the following procedure:

* Configure your ticker on TickerFactory.com

* On the last page, copy the text in the box labeled bbCode. For Windows users, select the whole text and press the Ctrl and C keys simultaneously.

* Go to the circles (in your profile - Menu Main/Options or in a post) and paste the bbCode that you copied from the TickerFactory.com site. For Windows users, just press the Ctrl and V keys simultaneously.

Hee Nannyjh,

It looks like you got your ticker thing going. I guess I will see if mine is working when I send you this massage.

By the way I just called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills.

hi Nannyjh,

Yes I called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills. You have to pay 500.00

for a signup fee, then 80.00 for every fill after that.I taked to someone at his office today and she was very nice, and helpful.

Oh you think you have made mistakes using this site.....the first time I tried to reply to something.....I started a thread instead of replying. It worked out fine though I was able to meet a few nice people on line.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
