Hi!

I live just east of Cincinnati. My surgery was four days ago, June 9th, with Dr. Trace Curry.

Are you pre-op or post-op? What are some of the challenges or fears you are experiencing?

I had surgery June 2. I am having cramping and issues with diarrhea. I thought this was going to be a lot easier!!!

I'm on the west side. My surgeon was Dr Kerlakian out of Good Sam weight loss management.

I had surgrey 8/20/2014, Dr. Northup at Mercy Fairfield. Mercy's bariatric clincic offers several support group meetings in different parts of town, but they tend to be large (it's required to attend one meeting before surgery) and sporadic. I was wondering if anyone knows of other support groups or would be interested in forming a group where we could meet in a centerally located place. I'm feeling pretty alone right now (I have some terrific friends, but it's not the same) and would love to spend time with people who have or are going to do gastric sleeve.

Hi, I live near Kings Island but I had my surgery on 9/25/14 in Dayton at Miami Valley Hospital by Dr. Teel. I am having terrible diarrhea this 2nd week too. I haven't thrown up which is good. I know what I did though, I had some blue cheese. I was so nauseous from the Soups I wanted something with flavor. Oh boy am I paying for it now lol. I go to Dr this Friday for my first check up. Hoping this cramping goes away soon. I hope yours gets better too.

The entire experience was great, until post op. I think their post op diet is insane. When you talk to Dr.Watkins or his dietitians about it, they basically bring up their excellent numbers as far as leaks go. However with all that I would still recommend it. The hospital staff was amazing.

Recovery is okay. I feel way advanced as far as what I can take in, but I feel like I'm being held back due to the diet! If you have any specific questions, let me know!

I'm in Middletown just north of Cincinnati having surgery May 18 with Dr. Trace Curry. Would love to join a support group. There is one for my doctors office monthly but not every month. I would love to meet other people going through the same process!

Dr Pitt who works with Dr. Curry did my surgery on 4/2. Are you referring to a support group at Journey Light? I thought I read they have one but dont know much about it.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
