congratulations on your progress. I had Dr Krueger. My HW 353LBS PRE OP 329LBS CW 240. Goal 180. I'm 5'8 so 180 works for me.

I hear that gallbladder surgery is needed for a lot of bariatric patients. I had mines removed years ago and it was extremely unpleasant. I couldn't imagine having it taken out right after bariatric surgery. You look fabulous I'm glad it all worked out for you

I'm in Pascoag going through Dr. Pohl. Everything but my last 2 nutritionist appointments are already completed!

My name is Becky From RI and am considering Dr Pohl. I know someone who had him and was thrilled. I have my seminar date as 2/11.

Good luck to all!

I am in Bristol! Still waiting to have surgery, going through the nutrition visits now have to wait till those are done :-(

Dr Pohl is my surgeon.

What about you?

Hi Becky!

I finally finished all my insurance and surgeon's requirements, but it took 15 months!! Almost there though. I have Dr. Pohl as my surgeon too, he's great. I'm in East Greenwich.
