Medical Weight Loss Phase Question



Recommended Posts

How often should I see my surgeon during this process? I'm on month 3 and awaiting a date, but I feel quite distant from my surgeon having spent time with nutritionists and nurses during this time. Is this normal?

I only saw my surgeon once after the actual surgery, I think it was about six weeks after.

Call your surgeons office and tell them where you are in the process and they will tell you the next steps, including when to come in for a consultation.

Last time I saw my surgeon was as he was wheeling me back for my surgery back in October. It's a huge practice full of nurses that have all had one of the wl surgeries, bariatric doctors, pa that assist the surgeons.

I feel very well taken care of in every way. That said, I've got a clear breakdown of what appts will taken place with whom and when layed out in my binder.

Call the office and ask set your mind as ease sooner than later. It would drive me nuts not knowing either.

      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! 😞
