Hi there, I had my surgery with Dr Rod, about 9 months ago on 11/23/10, I have lost 90 pounds and I have 10 pnds till I hit my goal weight at 135, I loved Dr Rod and he is very professional and if you have any questions please email me sisterlisa @ live.com Lisa

I JUST TRIED THEM WITH GRANOLA CLUSTERS YOU KNOW THE KIND THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR YOGURT? WELL IT IS THE BOM!!!!

I WONDER IF WE COULD SUBSITUTE THE OATS FOR RICE CRISPIIES??? DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT WILL WORK OR ARE THEY FATTNING??

Hi there, You look wonderful!!! I too had surgery with Dr Rod, I am 6 months post and have lost 72 pounds and im very happy as well. How much weight have you lost with the sleeve??? My weight loss seems to be taking forever! I lose maybe 2 pounds a week and not sure why, I exercise but just slow weight loss. what are you doing to make the weight come off??? How much can you eat now in one setting??? Lisa

Hi Everyone! I havent been posting much here but I have been lurking almost everyday, On the 23rd I will be 6 months since surgery and I have lost a total of 71 pounds I havent changed my ticker yet. I have to say its been the best thing I have ever done for my self. I feel great and I love losing weight! I always have my Protein drink every morning and I do try and eat mostly protein every day, I also eat other things I shouldnt,lol. But I dont do it on a regular basis. My Dr told me that I can eat what ever I want cause I will only eat very little , its what you drink that is important. I work out about 3 times a week and I walk about 4 times a week, I just started lifting weights cause my arms are huge! I am in a size 10 pants and I cant remember when I was last in that size of pants. It totally feels great! The only problem I have is getting my Water in, I am not a water drinker and so I dont get all the water I need I put flavoring in it and that helps. I have 28pounds till goal! If there is anyone debating on getting the surgery, let me tell you the only regret is that I didnt get it done sooner. Thanks for reading, God Bless, Lisa

Hi there, I wanted to say good luck on your surgery, and I also had surgery with Dr Rod, its been 5 months since surgery and I have no complaints at all. I have lost 70 pounds and I feels fantastic! Good luck to you! I will pray for you for a speedy recovery and safe trip... Lisa~

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT YOU HAD A 32 BOUGIE THAT IS THE SAME AS ME AND I CAN EAT ABOUT 7 BITES OF SOMETHING AND IM FULL I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH YOU CAN EAT NOW AND IF YOU ARE STILL MAINTAINING YOUR WEIGHT LOSS??? THANKS LISA

Sorry you had such a hard time, I also had my surgery with Dr Rod, I had the VSG and for me the gas was not that bad, thank god!! I totally agree with you on the pain meds, they were the worst!!! I did take some Vicodin with me, and after 2 days of pain I finally was able to take a real pain pill and that was good. I had no problems in Mexico except for the english barrier with the nurses. I had no sickness and not to bad of gas, but I also got the VSG not the plication. I hope you are doing well now. Take care, God bless, LIsa

I have been having like yellow bile coming up at night and after I eat do you have that also???

I am 7 weeks out and every time that my husband and I have sex I get sick to my stomach, I dont throw up cause I havent throwed up yet, I get that quizy feeling and mouth watering like im going to throw up, I dont know if its the motions with my stomach moving around or what but I have noticed if I take a drive I will sometimes get sick to my stomach also. I used to have a Iron stomach, anyone else having this problem??? Lisa Surgery: 7 weeks ago Total loss: 38 pounds!!
