I just came from the seminar at St. Vincent's (Dr. Chappano & Dr. Herrera). My only remaining question is how much cheaper it is if you have the surgery done at a day surgery center vs the hospital. The total cost here is $17,500 with $10,000 going to the hospital, $5,300 to the doctors and $1,200 for anesthesia. They also charging a $500 processing fee. Do other doctors charge this? My insurance covers the surgery but I may have a slight qualification issue. I'd like to have the surgery done this year as I have already met my deductible. I wonder if the processes prior to surgery are different between doctors?

My name is Stacia Brownlee and Dr. Cywes is my doctor. He did my surgery on March 26 2007 and I have lost 123pds since. He is a good doctor and will be very forward with you as needed. I've been seeing him ever since my surgery; once a month. I've formed a close bond with him and I know I'm not the only patient. He is a doctor who knows what he is doing and always has your best intirest in mind. He WILL find a way to motivate you when you are unmotivated. He works.

I am also going to Dr. Cywes and my surgery is schedueled for November 30th. I may postpone it till the first part of January due to the Holidays and a lot of traveling out of town. So far, Dr. Cywes and the entire staff have been so great and seem to really care about their patients. I am having my endoscopy Thursday and a couple more appointments next week. How is everyone doing on here? I am so glad I found others that are using Dr. Cywes and Dr. Baptista, I like them both!!

      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?

      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
