Who was your surgeon and how are you doing post op?

I had my surgery with Dr. Dana Reiss here in SA, who is going to do yours and when? I have been doing pretty good post op, it can be a challenge and balancing act not to mention new learning experience all at the same time.

I am having my surgery Monday with Dr Seger. I actually just had my last preop appt with him. It's getting real now!

I am in west SA at Westover Hills. Just began this process. Had my first appt with my surgeon on 5/22 and got my pre-surgery instructions. I have most of my clearance appts/procedures scheduled already so am hoping for a Sept surgery date (sleeve), assuming no complications arise. I am really getting excited and think about it all the time. My only concern is I will have no one with me after surgery. I have read that it should not be an issue but it still makes me feel a little vulnerable... But not enough to back out! :)

I will be in San Antonio the entire month of July. I will be staying off Thousand Oaks (I think off a street called Perrin Beitel?) the house I'm staying at is on Shallow Water Street. I know it's near an HEB. Anyhow, would love to hear from you folks in SA. Is there a support group nearby. I have no transportation. I believe there is a bus nearby. Please e-mail if there is a support group in that area of SA. Dawalsh2@aol.com

Dr. Seeger is the best! He did my sleeve recently as well as rny for my sister a few years ago. Are you going to be at foundation surgical hospital? It's a green facility and all the staff there is wonderful. Good luck!

Yes maam! The RNY will be done at Foundation for sure. The upper GI tomorrow will be at an outpatient facility in the medical center.

How is your sister doing with the RNY? Can you give me some stats on her?

Thanks :)

I don't know the specifics, but she had it done about 4 years ago and has been at goal for a few years now. She has competed in a bunch of triathlons and is now training for an ironman.

      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! 😞
