Anyone whose goal weight is less than 100 pounds?
Noragretz replied to Essence46's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am struggling too. Just 10 pounds to goal and I'm stuck! It has been a long slow process with lots of stalls. I am 9 months out. I've lost about 65 total so far. Hang in there! -
Good day! I weighed the same... 143.2 ????

I'm in Casa Grande, I had to self pay. Arizona docs were higher priced than other states. I traveled to Nevada for surgery. But I attended a seminar with Dr Fang here in Arizona, that's when I decided to just have surgery - as I was attending with a friend.

Hi there. I had the sleeve done with Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas/Henderson NV. It is out patient, and they have lots of traveling patients. It was $10,400. But I don't think they finance you. I got a loan separately and self paid. Boyfriend and I both had it done at the same time and we have had no complications. We were on the strip 2 days after surgery.

There is a way to search your doctor on this site. You can also search previous posts about that doctor. -

Maybe I am atypical, but the sleeve didn't help with hunger
Noragretz replied to chunkyloverlovesyou's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ugh I'm so there with you on this. I've been hungry the whole time! Im 8 months out. I was on an acid pill for 2 months prior to surgery and 6 months after for duodenal ulcers. So I know it wasn't acid, I can now tell the difference in acid "hunger" feel, and real hunger. This is real hunger with actual growling like it did before surgery (no growling with acid). Only thing now when it growls and spasms in hunger - it doesn't hurt like it did before surgery. What I found helps is eating solid Protein, (poultry, beef, fish, eggs) instead of processed Proteins like cheese, milk, yogurts, Protein drinks. Cutting out artificial sweeteners, keeping carbs low, and sugars lower. Also I noticed if I stop snacking and reduce eating to the three meals and maybe one snack im not as hungry as often. Drink lots of Water too, water helps soothe the growling too and chewing some gum. Hang in there. Try cooking up some chicken and eat 3 oz of chicken every 2-3 hours wether u are hungry or not, then after about a week start spreading the time out to set meals of chicken and a vegetable. -

Same here. My boyfriend and my daughter who is 20. My son (11) doesn't know. No parents or siblings. My boyfriend had the surgery at the same time, his daughter took care of us. I told my daughter in case something happened to me. I'm also embarrassed to admit I resorted to wls.
