I'm back, and have a fill!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have been away dealing with some personal issues but I wanted to let you know that I finally, finally, FINALLY got a fill today! I have lost 28 lbs so far. Not too bad. I had 4cc put in, and the barium went right on through. They told me to come back in a month. :)

Hi 80s Chick,

How is your new doctor working out? Did you have a good experience with him? 28lbs is great. Keep up the good work. I'm glad you were able to recover from your horrible hospital experience.

I really like my new doctor. His name is Dr. Marsden. A lot of people here use him and think he is great. He has really helped me a lot and I highly recommend him!

I don't usually like to give the name of the doctor that did my surgery. As a surgeon, he is great. I would recommend him on those skills, but I had serious problems after my surgery with him as a person. I feel that it is important for a patient to have an excellent rapport with their bariatric surgeon, and it just didn't work for me in this case. I would be afraid that it would happen to someone else. I highly recommend Marsden, or Snow, who works in the same practice.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
