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 had dr Krueger as well he did both my sleeve and later my gallbladder surgery as I had to have it removed after surgery

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!

Hi Becky!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
