That's great! Are you planning on having the surgeries at the same time?

That's our goal. We have no family here so we have to see if we can find someone to come be a "babysitter" if not the we will have to go separate.
Based on my experience, my recommendation would be for ya'll to have it done at least a month apart; unless you have some really good supportive help staying at your house while both of you recover. I was pretty much bed ridden for the first 4 weeks and depended solely on my 17 year old son and my husband.

Wow! You had SIPS correct? I wonder what the typical is for Gastric Bypass. Guess it's time continue researching.

That would be cool @raptorwit h!

I wonder if we can get enough interest.

I don't know... since this forum isn't too active, is there another part we could post on to say we were trying to make the forum active and plan a meet up?

I'm not really sure. I'm rather new to the forum.

I had SIPS surgery on 3/25/15 in Durham with Dr Bovard of NC Bariatric Specialist. I live in Creedmoor.

I have been looking for people who have had sips. I am scheduled in September. Would you consider a conversation?

Hi I'm from the Greensboro area but plan on having my surgery at Duke Regional. My Doctor is Dr. Park. He seems like a great doctor but for the past month I have left messages with nurse as what is my next step for surgery. I have not gotten a call back or anything. I left messages with administrative assistant and or nurses for her to contact me, still nothing. I live almost 2 hrs away so getting an appointment for what can be explained over the phone is crazy. I was wondering if I should switch to Dr. Sudan since you all speak so highly of him or wait it out.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
