Beth Israel Milton- Dr. Bresnik.....I'd give them a B-. Dr, Bresnik seems to be a fine surgeon, and I feel safe in her hands, but her bedside manner is not the best. The rest of the team seems to be just "by the books" with no real geniuine care for me as an individual. I hate to say this, but I think its important to get information like this out to anybody thinking of having the surgery and have them do their research.

Dr. McCluney, St. Elizabeths in Boston, is where he performs his surgeries, but he has offices in Fall River and Brockton where he sees patients.

Dr. Robinson Brigham and Women's. He is good, but his manner with patients sucks. I had a band to sleeve revision by him in 2015 and now i'm having more issues. :( Looking to change but not sure how that goes. Won't other docs not want to touch me??

I'm working with the MGH weight center. The surgeon is Dr. Matt Hutter. He seems fine; I just care that he's good technically. I'm just concerned that they don't seem to think I need to have endoscopy to determine the extent of the issues I have with GERD/gastritis since they have recommended sleeve due to my needing to take medications that won't be absorbed well if I had RNY. They also are not giving me a good sense of when everything will be scheduled, which is incredibly frustrating since my work schedule has to be booked three months in advance.

      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?

      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
