Hi Stephanie840910

I have been joined since 2014. But I hadn't been on the site in forever. I am from ROSEBURG, OREGON. I had my RNY July 2, 2013. I had it in COOS BAY, OREGON. Which is 2 hours from where I live. The Surgeon I had turned out to be not so good. Well, he was a great surgeon but lack or I should say S**Ked without any bedside manners. Oh well, I'm great anyhow!!

I think you're cool shedo82773 thanks for coming back to all us newbies, we need your wisdom. And I think your surgeon has a nephew in Columbus Ohio where I'm gonna go. Great surgeon but I call him the Rabid Gila monster, warm and cuddly he ain't. I lookat it as I won't be sleeping with him j

Not sleeping with them is true but....he wanted to follow my journey ( well not just mine but all of his pts) for 5 years, so he can use it as DATA. So he looks like he is so successful. When I had problems with strictures he was done with me then my hubby had a failed revision from his Lap-Band to an RNY he became severely ill and the A** HAT totally dropped him in his worse time of need. He called us PROBLEM CHILDREN!!! I feel like our journies messed with his PERFECT DATA!!! I actually kind of fired him!! I went to a CENTER OF EXCELLENCE in Portland a little further than COOS BAY but oh so worth it!! So basically we are kind of connected to them for our follow up. I was told that it is hard to get someone to clean up another Dr's mistakes but THANK GOODNESS we found someone who cares and is there for us if needed. The further out we get the less we need our Surgeon. I have my PCP order my blood work and then have it faxed to PORTLAND. It works for me!! LOL

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
