I don't remember but don't go by anyone but yourself because everyone loses at a different rate and it will only make you miserable.

Each insurance company has its own requirements and each doctor's office has its own requirements, so I guess you need to find a meeting of the minds that works best for you.

I went with Dr Joshua Long in Lone Tree, his team is amazing. Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app

It can take weeks for the swelling and air to release from your body....

Just had it yesterday the 18th day the first 12hrs was a lil much don’t be nervous to ask for more meds I sure did, and if they offer you a block in ur stomach take it, also ask for a abdominal band they are great!

I’m tomorrow as well! I roll into the hospital at 5:15am, Not sure when the surgery will actually start. RNY.

I had surgery with Dr.Weaver at the same practice as Dr.Synder this past August and had a great experience. Dr.Synder has been around quite awhile and is well respected. It’s a pretty well organized program (minus some billing issues I am still dealing with, but no fault of the providers). Hilary, the nutritionist, is really kind and knowledgeable. Elaine, the NP you follow after surgery, is also great. Rose provided top notch care too. I had a one night stay and fairly easy recovery. You’ll be in good hands with their program!

Yup, it is your choice and I applaud you for wanting to get healthier. I was 63 when I got my bypass and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have my life back! I am doing things now I never could have dreamed of a year ago. And you know what? I can eat ANYTHING I WANT! I just don't want the same junky stuff anymore! I went out to eat tonight with our staff and had a wonderful meal with lots of leftovers to bring home. After surgery, your tastes change and as you build your new lifestyle, you will start choosing healthier options in small portions. I promise you - a year after surgery you CAN eat anything you want, but you just won't want the same foods or same portions. You will also have learned to exchange the pleasure from food with pleasure from things that are more meaningful and lasting. You will be free from the entrapment of food and the chains of always needing food to meet your emotional needs. You still have to do the hard work, but surgery is an incredible gift and tool to help you get the life back that you have lost and deserve to find again.

Here you go It’s really hard to know if I’m holding my head/neck at the same angle. I think it looks like there is more of a difference than their really is Before. - After 1 treatment. - After 2 treatments

Your doing amazing I'm so happy for you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
