It is indeed, a center of excellence, thought I believe that to be a very low standard at this point.

I have wondered if I'd be able to move my post-op care to another center and I'm really not sure. It's something I need to call and ask about I suppose, though I'm not precisely sure who to contact. I'll have to do some looking.

I really don't know how much of their support I'll need after surgery, but based on what little I could gather from the meetings, it seems they have pretty strict diets and such that they expect you to do and follow ups with them. And so, if they are to be the ones helping me figure out eating after surgery and such, I am incredibly concerned.

I have also considered switching hospitals. I have I think 2 other options in the area, and it is becoming more and more attractive to consider that, though it would delay my surgery of course.

I do think I will call the surgeons office and/or patient relations after teaching a class I have coming up. I tend to agree that maybe (hopefully) the surgeon isn't aware that things are done so disorganized and could jump everyone into action.

Have you thought about speaking with someone at the other surgical centers you spoke of to see if they can help you transfer to their facility, without any problems? I saw a few different facilities, before I made up my mind. Some want you to jump through more hoops than others. I hope everything works out for you and that you have great success moving forward.

      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! 😞
