My doctor is Dr. Scott Pennington, Jr., Trinity Medical Center, Birmingham, AL. He is an awesome Christian doctor who works out of a faith-based hospital. I had nothing less than a great experience with him, his staff, and the hospital. He also has a partner, Dr. John G. Touliatos, who I hear is just as good. I have no regrets with this experience.

I was just sleeved by Dr Lee Schmitt on Dec 1st. Their office staff is wonderful, the support group is great, the hospital was wonderful-St Vincent's East. They are a Center of Bariatric Excellence. They have monthly seminars you can attend with no obligation. I have no regrets picking this office.

Yes definitely =) I'm doing great! The first 5 days were miserable lol.... I was weak and in pain... started regretting it.... and then I weighed and had already lost 20 pounds! I'm at 22 pounds now =) My high weight was 249 and now I'm at 227. They didn't weigh me right before surgery and my scales were broke at home so I really don't know how much I lost pre-op. Probably about 7 or 8 pounds because I know the first week of liquids I had lost 4. And my energy came back yesterday, thank God! I was going stir crazy =) I can tell on your ticker you have done awesome as well! Thats just a crazy amount of weight to lose in a couple of weeks =) I'm still shocked by it because a lot of people at the support group and on youtube that I had seen lost like 10-20 pounds the first month. SO I wasn't expecting it in a week!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
