Topic: RE: Knoxville area clothing swap?
Yes, I've had a nutrition "consult" and a exercise "consult" , I felt they were a joke, lasted about 15 minutes and Im sure they billed my insurance 150, plus I had to pay 30 copay. I'll be getting the sleeve if I decide to go through with it. Unfortunately, my program fee is twice yours :( but I've heard great things about Dr Boyce, he seems to have extensive experience. Im chicken, Ive never had any surgery before, so Im afraid of worst case scenario.
Thanks for the info, do you ever attend support meetings? If so , do you find those helpful?

Awesome Cathy! I'm in an 18/20 now as well, and all my stuff is 26/28. I will check around and see if anyone else would like to participate and maybe I can set something up :)

Hi Heather!
I tried to e-mail you as well but it says your profile is set to private, so it won't let me.
As far as their office goes, I was pleased with my surgery. Had no major complications and was treated very nicely in the hospital. The ladies in the office are very nice. I could do without the exercise and nutrition consults every few months though. I had the DS, and they tend to give large amounts of RNY info instead. I'm used to just ignoring 99% of what is said, and finding out my own answers to questions here on OH. I do feel like I completely wasted that $1,500 program fee. As for the nutritionist, I feel like I've only been taught to watch my portions (of course I have to watch them, I can't eat like a cow anymore!) and to limit my carbs and that is all. With the exercise portion, I'm just asked what I do for exercise and that's it. I drive 25 minutes to get to these appointments, so they're really just a waste of my gas. Sorry to be blunt, but I'm honest :)

Topic: Three Weeks Post Op
I will be three weeks post op tomorrow. So far I have lost a total of 48lbs. My weight as of this morning was 395lbs. Hopefully ill never see the 400 pounds mark again. As far as food goes I've been doing the whole liquid diet thing the entire 3 weeks until today when I tried some tuna. I got about three bites in before I was full. I kind of feel guilty not being at work but I think I still may take the entire month that my job gave me. All the pain from surgery is pretty much gone. Well that's it. Ill update ever week or so for anyone interested.
