Decoding Satiety: Sarah came to me with a perplexing issue that might resonate with you — day after day, she was unable to tell whether she was hungry or not. Years after her bariatric surgery, she often found herself either eating without thinking or skipping meals entirely, struggling to tune into her body’s hunger signals. ...
Mornin everyone! Not much planned today. A trip to the grocery store is all. I did something to aggravate my neck. I’ve not slept much and I’m really uncomfortable. It seems like it’s always something Busy week ahead for me, QOTD: kind of related to the meme. What takes up…

Good Morning and Happy Friday! I have all kinds of exciting news. First, dad is home! I have no idea how he managed to go straight from ICU to home, but he did. The nurses were probably like - GET HIM OUT, lol. My other exiting news is that after…
Queen JBIt's Lil' Friday and I am ready for this week to be over. We had a kind of crazy thing happen at work (that I can't talk about, of course) but it's going to negatively affect my department for a few weeks, so we are steeling ourselves for the madness.…
Queen JBGood Morning all! It's Wednesday already and that isn't a bad thing. Yesterday's day at work can be summed up with the syllable, 'huh?' I've already woken up to more emails that just make me SMH, so this is just going to be one of those weeks. The semester started…
Queen JBGood Morning everyone. Well, it's been a very tough few days for me. Grim was away, and my Dad ended up back in the hospital. Apparently he caught COVID on the plane with me last weekend and he's not doing too well. His oxygen dropped so low that it caused…

Just wanted to see if anyone in the group has had a revision to RNY with a Hiatal Hernia Repair. I dont see much about revisions when I search and would love to get some ideas of what to expect this time around. I know this surgeon is different than…

Hi Everyone.. I'm about 17 or 18 years out from a 2 step DS by Dr. Inabnet at Columbia Presby in NYC. I was very active on the boards for the first few years and then life got in the way. I went from 430 and my current weight is…
maryc543Good mornin weekenders! Hoping this is the best so months for us all. Mine sure looks to be busy. No big plans for the day that I know of. I might just take it pretty easy, my shoulder on the right side is really really acting up. I’m sitting here…
Melody P.Good mornin everyone! Hoping we all have a nice extended weekend ahead. I haven’t got a clue what we’re doing today. Rachel is here and we laughed so hard last night. I needed that so much. I love my nieces and nephew but have a somewhat special bond to Rachel.…

It sounds like you've been through a significant journey with your weight loss, and it's understandable to feel uncertain about attending your high school reunion. Remember, it's your decision, and whatever you choose should be what feels right for you. You've already achieved so much, and that's something to be…

Well, almost 3 years again since I last posted - time flies, life goes on, we hit our obstacles and find paths around them! I'm now 4 years past my HPV P16+ Squamous Cell Carcinoma Throat Cancer diagnosis and treatment and still in remission! Oddly enough, one of the biggest…

I have malabsorption syndrome and need to find a specialist to help me treat it.

Wow. It is hard to believe that TWENTY YEARS have passed since that life-changing day. I'm not the poster child for surgery by no means. I'm about 30 pounds over my "comfortable" weight. I'm also about 40 pounds over my lowest. That's a hard pill to swallow, sometimes, honestly. You…

Wow the time has flown by. I have to admit I gained weight back due to my own not worrying about myself and taking care of my mother. I became very sedentary and packed on 40 lbs over 7 years. But I'm ok and losing again. Starting college in 20 days…

Seems like I've been drinking water all day. 64 ozs so far and I'm gonna struggle to get my protein in later on. I have gotten about 25 grams so far today. Guess I'm destined for protein powder.

Hey y'all, I'm back! Needless to say I've slacked on my weight and went back to my old habits. I'm finally getting started on getting back to where I was a few years ago. It's been a rough 5 years and I put on more pounds than I want. Hope…

When I arrived to the hospital I weighed almost 800 pounds (797 pounds). But in a week I managed to lose 55 pounds and the hospital has agreed to get me down to a more manageable weight (hopefully under 500, haven't been under 500 since I was 11). Wish me…

I know this is a journey. And I know I am not perfect. This is HARD. I hate that my food cravings have come back. I am down almost 80 pounds in 6 months. I just want to be down so much more. But I also know that I am…

Dr. Ferzli is very precise and effective in his practice. He has always been willing to answer my questions. He is very informative and efficient and a surgeon who is available. For any future patients, this program works wonders if you do your part. Karen, Nicole, and Cameela were very…
Dr. A completed my surgery March 2024 and it was a wonderful experience. I read and watched a lot of videos before my procedure and had actually booked an appointment with a clinic in the US. But after I found Dr. A, I knew I wanted him to do my…
Dr Choi is excellent at explaining and helped me with an issue with a previous surgeon. Prevented me from seeking another surgery. I am fine.
Dr. Alvarez is an amazing surgeon who provides exceptional care. I had the best experience and am doing fantastic with zero issues 3 months after surgery. Dr. Alvarez and staff provide great information so you know exactly what to except. My only regret is not having surgery sooner!
I had gastric bypass with Dr. Baranov in 2019. At that time I was 280 pounds and dealing with a myriad of health issues. After surgery I got down as low as 170 pounds, but didn’t feel well, so on the advice of my primary, I slowly gained to 195-200…
