Gateway is a center of excellence I believe

I had my surgery at St. Luke's Medical Center with Dr. Juarez. I went through their Bridges program and I had the best experience ever! An amazing surgeon and staff. They are a center of excellence.

That's where I'm thinking about going. I have already done my 6months supervised weight loss, my nut. visit, and my phsy visit. I just needed a comorbidity to be approved and now I have one; sleep apnea. I just can't get them to answer my emails at honor health.

If the weather wasn't so nasty, maybe we could! I am sticking with my elliptical for now, lol.

So tomorrow is the big day, eh?

I'm in North Phoenix. I'm scheduled to have my sleeve surgery performed by Dr Stevenson through Evolve Weight Loss. Does anyone have experience with them?

I used Dr Sprunger. There were a few posts that did not like him but I loved him. I consulted with 3 different doctors and he was the only one that actually appeared to cared about my personal goals and that I actually succeeded. Because his office is small, there is no additional support within his office. If you want a NUT at your finger tips or a support group, he will not be the best choice for you. I didn't want that level of support so for me he was perfect.

      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! 😞
