Me too, Feb 2012. He is awesome. I think of him like a grown up Doogie Howser. He is a bit geeky but very kind, and very smart. You can tell he was in the top of his class! He and his team changed my life. Couldn't recommend them more!

2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

Topic: RE: What surgeon or hospital?

I had Dr. Gens at Portsmouth hospital. I started with Dartmouth Hitch**** because it was closer. Their program is no comparison to Portsmouth's. I drove extra miles for the extra support. I don't think many weight loss programs compare to Portsmouth bit I guess you have to decide by what YOU need. Good Luck!

I am only a week out of surgery and I had Dr Gens and thought he was great. I agree his bedside manner is fabulous and he is willing to sit and talk and really answer any questions or concerns. Also Portsmouth has a great all around program

Hi Guys!

I started this blog a while ago, then forgot about it, but just remembered it! Just thought I'd share if anyone is interested. I love to connect with people who are having similar experiences. Maybe if I knew someone else was reading the blog I'd update more often!:)

The program is AMAZING!! Dr. Connie Campbell is a genius... and it is hands down the best decision I ever made!

The guidelines are strict - FOLLOW THEM!! Use the tools they give you which will help you stay the course. I am a little over a year out of surgery and went from 251 lbs to 157lbs this week. It can be done... the first few weeks SUCK! The mental games your head plays with the rest of your body is hard, but remember you are truly detoxing from all the crap.

I am back on carbs, but small amounts as I was so afraid of what all the protein would do to me. Most sugars kick my butt, I will admit I still have some vices but I work out 6 days a week, I eat pretty well, and when I dont or do not remember to SLOW DOWN AND EAT THE RIGHT WAY I pay for it. Boy do I pay for it... the pain and miserable feeling lasts for an hour. Dumping Syndrome even now is NOT FUN!

This will be an amazing adventure. It will feel like even after surgery that it takes forever to see the changes but in reality it goes FAST! You will wake up one day and see so many subtle changes in your face, clothes, attitude... it makes all the hard work worth it!

GOOD LUCK!

I agree 100%!! There are not enough good words I can say about Dr. Campbell! I am now one week post-op with NO surgical complications whatsoever!! Done at 7:30 am, in my room at 11am and up walking the halls an hour later. Home on Thursday. Friday and Saturday were a little tough but Sunday I woke up not feeling like I had not even had surgery!! No pain.......nothing!! I am already able to get almost all of my protein in and am well over 64 oz of fluid a day.
My husband is scheduled for October 30.
Only good things to come!!
