I never thought I could swallow pills right after surgery (especially since I was never good at it before). But one time of trying to drink crushed pills (SO GROSS!!!) and I decided to try. I split...
I am 9 days post op and have been walking on the treadmill or using the elliptical machine. The gym where I go (Planet Fitness) offers personal training. Has anyone ever used them after surgery and...
I finally had one on day 7 after taking Milk of Magnesia. I have never been regular though. I took 2 Tbsp in the afternoon (nothing happening) so I took another 2 TBsp before bed. I woke up about...
My doctor says under 50
I had surgery 1 week ago today and it has killed me not to get on the scale. On past diets, I weigh every day and then get discouraged if I gain any so this time I set a goal to only weigh once a...
Norfolk, Virginia
Just had my surgery Monday and I too did not have preop diet other than liquids day before (didn't even have to be clear) and of course, nothing after midnight. I was worried why everyone else had...
I just had my surgery on Monday 1/13. It was done by Dr. Thomas Clark in Newport News, VA (Center for Weight Loss Success). I too was self pay. I live in Norfolk but the Sentara and Bon Secours in...
Yes same here - I believe I heard the doctor say they actually have to sew the muscle under the skin which they don't do with the other incisions.
I also had my sleeve the same day. I feel like I am drinking ALL day and still only getting 40-45 gms protein. Everything is going down okay but I'm not sure how I'm going to get 90-100 which my...
I see your surgeon is Dr. Clark. I had my sleeve done on Monday 1/13 with Dr. Clark in Hampton. Is this the same one? Good luck.
I am in your area too (Norfolk). Had my sleeve on Monday 1/13 with Dr. Clark in Hampton and am doing great. Good luck with your process.
I too am from the same area as you (Norfolk). I had my sleeve done Monday 1/13/14 by Dr. Clark in Hampton. Things have been fairly smooth so far. Hope you are doing well.
How soon and how often after surgery did/do you weigh? I am 2 days post op and haven't weighed yet (afraid I might be disappointed).
I was wondering the same thing. It will be much harder for me as I am around people all the time (work, church, socially). I only want to tell 2 close friends and my parents and sister but I'm not...
sistagirl - I have an appointment with Dr. Clarke on Thursday. Thanks!
irisg77 - I would love to use Dr Fontana at Sentara Norfolk Weight Loss Center. They are $18,500 plus ... closer $20,000.
Where did you have your surgery and how much did it cost?
I posted this in the geographical forum but it doesn't seem to get as much activity so I am posting here too. Hope that's ok as I am new to this site.
I have decided to proceed with the sleeve...
Hello,
I have decided on the sleeve surgery but don't meet the criteria for insurance so will be self pay. The doctor/group I would like to use in Norfolk, VA charges $18,500 plus office visits,...
