I’ve been doing pretty good. I’ve started having some nausea the last few days. It makes it difficult to get all my fluids in everyday. I’m down 33 lbs since surgery.

Great to hear about that weight loss, hopeful I'll do that good. Only other people I've seen were Coshocton and New Philadelphia and they were a year or so back so probably no longer active. Keep me updated and watch for me, saw my sleep Lab doctor today for assessment of my C-pap status, that should finish my clearances unless they throw in an additional Nutrition consult. I had started out once before, had most of my prerequirements done, my job terminated and I lost insurance coverage. I had gone through all the nutrition consulting then and I'm hopeful I don't have to attend another. I'll call my Bariatric Coordinated in the morning and make sure. I can almost see the lights in the distance ahead.

I am switching from another program in a Center of Excellence Hospital in Columbus Ohio. Does anyone have experience with either Riverside Methodist or OSU-Wexner Medical,Center's program? How long are they start to finish? I have booked for seminars at both locations. Thank You

I had RNY on December 8,2017 at Riverside Hospital. I would highly recommend them. Everybody has been great. My surgeon was Dr. Rana.

Hi! I’m also in Mt Vernon. Having lap band removed and sleeve performed, hopefully this month. Approved by insurance, yea! I would like to get a support group together. I have a place we can meet for no charge in Fredericktown. Anyone interested?

Dr Trace Curry put my band in in 2006 in Cincinnati. He does have an office in Grove City, but he does his surgeries out of Cinci. He will be doing my sleeve as well.

I know nothing of doing a support group, but I went when I had my band surgery and it was helpful. It would be good for us to discuss our issues, congratulate on our losses and support each other. We could also meet in Mt Vernon somewhere, but in Fredericktown it would be free.

I am going through Mt Carmel West with Dr. Miller. I finished my 6 months and all my insurance appointments on December 2018. I am just waiting for Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield to approve so that I can get a surgery date. Any advice/ comments etc. about the Mt. Carmel West program?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
