North Houston here, just a tad over 1 year post-open doing great most days, down 168#, 8 more to lose to get to doctors goal. ..Mt goal is about 15# less.

Took about 4 months before I could really eat much of anything, still have issues with smells and can't eat ground meat. The last 2 months have been much better, eating more and really focused on eating at l e at 80 grams of protein each day. Am down 107# ...am very happy with my progress.

Hi! I had my surgery on March 12, 2015...coming on the 6 month mark. Surgery was done at Memorial Hermann, Memorial City Hospital, was done by Dr. Felix Spiegel.

North/Northwest side of Houston here.

Awesome Awjones28!

Good luck MrsKitz, keep us posted on your progress and if you need any advise. ..

Houston here as well...How are you doing?

Anyone want to give updates on how they are doing since surgery. ...my DS surgery was done on 3/12/15 by Dr. Felix Spiegel. ....am down 91# as of today, see the doctor next Monday. ...

Thanks! ! I feel better everyday. Where are you located? If you have more questions let me know....I am here to help and support with any information I have. I have not lost my hair just thinning out right now (be it alot), I have been told by the dietician that this is in part due to the surgery and as I eat more Protein should stop....I have also added Biotin to my Vitamins so that should help ad well.

I had this done on March 12, 2015 and a of this morning am down 91# in 5 months time....complications I have had are a follows, consumption of food (still a battle), eating enough protein (getting better daily), acid reflux(still taking Nexium daily), hair loss but all these issues are improving, just takes more time then I thought it would. Taking all the vitamins has also become easier. I did have blood test done to check levels and everything is within the correct limits... I do get asked if I would do it again and my answer is YES!

I am 2.5 months post DS surgery & feel sick most days...nauseous all the time..on Prilosec 2x day and eat tums like candy. I know I need to eat & drink more but simply can't. ..throwing up at least 4 week.....just thinking about eating or food gets the juices in my stomach going. After eating I get very congested and start sneezing and coughing which usually causes me to throw up....please send me any help or suggestions. ...I just want to feel better!! Thanks, Kathy

Thanks!

Funny thing that doesn't make be sick is fresh fruit, especially watermelon. ..lol

Will also try the sugar free peppermint. ...wish I could drink some ginger ale.....that always helped when I didn’t feel good!

Yea, I was at the doctor on Monday. ..he is not sure why I am having these issues, says if not better he wants to do a scope to be sure there is no blockage. ...said I shouldn't be having these issues with the DS procedure...also said it is slowing my weight loss due to not eating. ...I am thinking 60 lbs in 2.5lbs is pretty good.. I normally drink my stuff at room temperature...no Icee needed. Will try eating soft food before the Protein and see if that helps. Thanks for the input!

North Houston here.....question, does anyone know if frozen greek yogurt is okay? If not, what about sorbet? Thanks, Kathy

Hi All! Am in Houston. I had my DS surgery on March 12, 2015 & have lost 53 lbs so far. I am having real issues with eating in general. I continue to have acid issues even though I am taking Prilosec & Pepsid night and day. Am also throwing up a couple times a week after eating. Yesterday I tried a smoothie make with Greek Yogurt and frozen fruit only finished 1/2 of it......I keep going back to soft foods but those are very limited on Protein. ...what is your suggestion to get through this rough spot??

I had this procedure done exactly 30 days ago.....no complications from surgery but there are challenges as with anything. ...for me it is taking all the vitamins.
