That is awesome to hear. Ya I have heard great things about him. Do you mind me asking why he kept u two nights is that normal?

I just scheduled my endo and sleep study consults for August so I can schedule those start of Sept. Then just my monthly nutrionist appointments. ...time will fly I'm sure.

Ordered my Vitamins online huge sale so decided let's start taking them now get use to them.

Glad to hear doing well.. ...

My surgery was scheduled for 1pm Monday didn't go in until 4. Had a tough time coming out of anesthesia and didn't take in any fluids orally until Tuesday afternoon. I am a nurse and I wanted to ensure I stayed well hydrated and opted to stay the extra night! I never took pain meds after Monday night.

I had my first visit with him on 5/1/14 and had the procedure 6 weeks later. My insurance is pretty quick and easy to get approved!

If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!

I had my surgery with Dr Ballem one month ago. I highly recommend him. Office staff was wonderful. 2 night hospital stay was wonderful. I am a RN and thought everything was great! Even my PCP spoke highly of him and his staff.

      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! 😞
