I just moved to Moncks Corner, SC from FL. I have a tentative date of Dec 15 for surgery with Dr Mitchell in Charleston. I am still trying to decide bypass or sleeve, I have to decide by Monday - they are submitting everything for pre certification then. Any input from your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I'm from Scranton, S.C. I'm 5 months post op on the 4th, Dr. Mitchell from Bon Secours Roper St Francis performed my surgery. I've lost 65lbs since surgery and 85 since I started with them in May.

Hello, my daughter and I used Dr. Mitchell, he and his staff and the entire hospital staff are amazing!! We both went with the RNY and it's the best decision we ever made. I'm 5 months on the 4th and my daughter is 4 months on the 7th. Trust Dr. Mitchell he won't lead you wrong!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
