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 had the DS on October 6, 2014 with Dr. Ng at Rex. My starting weight was 321 lbs, and I'm down to 149 lbs now. I've lost 172 lbs. I'm extremely happy with my surgery and surgeon.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
