mscognac504 137 Posted May 7, 2014 That's wonderful!! Awesome job! What were both of your starting weights & heights? I just started my preop diet today, surgery in 2 weeks and would love to know what you've been doing? Cardio 4 times a week. 60 minutes I eat mostly seafood like crab, fish and shrimp. I eat chicken every now and then because since surgery I get bad heart burn every time I eat it. I drink about 90 ounces of Water a day and average 60 to 75 grams of Protein a day.

cprince1975 62 Posted May 7, 2014 I try to get in some form of exercise as often as possible. I work 7 12 hr nights so it's not always easy to exercise. I eat mostly chicken and fish. I haven't been able to eat any form of beef since surgery, makes me physically ill. I generally get in 50-70 grams of Protein and about 64 ounces of Water. Good luck with surgery! Keep us updated. Oh and 5'4" and 258lbs. Stuck at 183 for last few days but it'll pass. Stalls are just part of this. If I could exercise more, probably be better but I'm very happy with my results thus far. 1 jenny13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

losingtoloveme 0 Posted October 7, 2015 hi, is there anyone around in this post lately? lol I am in process of researching and planning and want o have gastric sleeve, so far I believe I have decided on Dr. Maliapur at Huntsville Hospital. For those of you that have BC BS and didn't have to go through the 6 months thing how did you get around that? I really would love to get this on the road. I am planning on scheduling to attend an info meeting that Dr. Maliapur requires you to attend before get your first appointment. Also for those who used other doctors can you please let me know what made you decide to choose that doctor? I want to make sure I make the correct choice in doctors so would love opinions. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malin 470 Posted October 28, 2016 Hi! I somehow found this post through a google search...are you all still around? Was your experience with Dr. Suggs good? I am self paying, and he is MUCH cheaper than the doctor here in Huntsville. I am meeting with nutritionist next week. Hope all is going well for you all!

Im just starting to look jnto getting the sleeve in the huntsville area. I will be self paying too! I was curious the ball park cost for Dr. Suggs? The doctor i was looking at in Birmingham was like 12000, but that included surgery insurance. Any info you can share would be great!
