7 weeks post-op. Down 39 lbs (including 2 week preop diet). Still throwing up my Vitamins, but otherwise doing well. Back to Dr M's office in 2 weeks. Hope they are happy with my progress.

Can anyone give reviews on Dr. Halmi? I dont have a surgery date yet, will be at the beginning of the new year. (waiting now for over 2 years for a surgery date..... dumb insurance company). I'm so beyond excited to finally be getting closer! Any advice is welcome here

I will be sleeved by Dr. Halmi next month. I know several people who have had surgery with him and they rave about him. I will be having my surgery at Fair Oaks.

I just had surgery with Dr. Halmi. Revision from sleeve to bypass. I had the upmost confidence in him. He made me feel so comfortable and confident about the surgery outcome. His whole staff is fantastic.

@ awesome! My first surgeon was Dr. Dockins but he switched different practices. So I was switched to Dr. Halmi. I really liked him so far!

Had surgery at Fair Oaks yesterday. Doc says X-rays looked fantastic and I will e goiter home tomorrow. The pain from the carbon dioxide is the worst part. I just keep walking and it's pretty much dissipated.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
