Anyone use him? I'm going next week for a consult

I believe I will be referred 2 him as well!! What medical group do you have?

Hi ladies, I also have been referred to Dr. Coon. I am still pre op and will be sleeved next week. So far their office and staff have been absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! How well did u lose weight after the surgery? I am 5'5 and 226 lbs. , 36 yrs. Old, & he said my normal weight should be 135lbs but that he would put my goal weight at 150lbs. I'm hoping that doesn't mean the pouch will be larger and so it will take longer to lose. I think I'm just worrying myself sick since I know I'm finally days away from being sleeved, but just thought I would check with ladies who has gotten sleeved already. Thanks for any input ????

I had my surgery 7/1 and so far have lost about 70 lbs. I was pretty much your same size and height. Surgery day I was 242, so a little less. the care and appointments after have ceased as they couldn't get their books right and I only saw them 3 times, basically until I got fully on solids. But my primary does all my bloodwork and everything is great. I am at a stall now, but I think my body needs to catch up to my mind. And my hair is finally stopped falling out.

wow, that's too bad! So was your hair loss really bad? And how was the post op diet you did?

I was sleeved 3-26 but I decided to go 2 Mexico and used Dr. Quinones so far so good and no complications. I feel awesome!

Have u felt any of the tiredness everybody seems to be having after surgery? Or any of the gas pains?? I got sleeved on 3/31/15 by Dr. Coon and I do feel good, I have more energy today than I've had in a long time. I've been able to get down about 4oz. Of liquids for breakfast lunch and dinner...and getting my water intake. But I'm having a very tough time with gas and the gurgle that comes along with every sip I take. So just curious how many oz. U are able to get down and what you have felt so far.

I was also sleeved by Dr. Coon on 3/31. The people he has working in his office are very nice and make you feel comfortable.

I've felt great. It's been a bit hard to get all the protein I need in but I put in an order for the unjury unflavored protein powder to mix into foods.

Hi!! So ur Jennibean! ???? How has things been going for u? I've been feeling pretty good, can't wait to get the Ok to get into the gym! I too have been having an issue with the protein. I fill up on stuff like cream of wheat, egg salad, cottage cheese, just anything with protein in it, but am finding that with not being able to even eat a full serving I'm not getting even close to the amount that my body needs, so this payday I'm ordering some unjury as well. I hope it will help. I'm also only getting about 1/2 of the water intake I'm supposed to have, maybe 3/4 on a good day. So trying to get that figured out as well. It's tough because in the same breath I'm being told to not drink anything within a half hour of eating and then also being told I'm going to feel like I'm literally eating all day long. I'm just struggling with portion sizes and when to eat when not to eat... All that kind of stuff. How about your diet, how's that going for u?

I'm having a very hard time eating. Mostly just been drinking lots of Water and g2 Gatorade. I found an oatmeal at albertsons that is high in Protein and low in sugar that seems to go down okay.

If you are ever up for an exercise buddy just like walking around the park or was thinking about joining a Zumba class in May let me know.

That sounds great Jennibean89!! I too have been thinking about a Zumba class or some yoga. I'm thinking about getting a pass at LA Fitness.

I walked up mount Rubidoux yesterday. Took it slow but made it to the top.

I hear la fitness it really nice, I just go to planet fitness because it's so cheap.

I actually thought about planet fitness cuz of the cost but La fitness is rite across the street from my place, lol
