Amazing Bariatric Team
Yes, shame on you for being so happy you had surgery that you wanted to compliment your surgical team AND let everyone know how great you think they are! How awful of you! (sarcasm)
how awful that some surgeons are unscrupulous enough that they will pay patients to give reviews. (Not sarcastic)
Welcome, Chris! Many of us want to shout to the world how awesome our surgeon is after we start living life again. Congrats on your recent surgery and continued success. Stick around, you will find some great support people here and if you need assistance in blocking people or if you need assistance with finding information on the site, you can always email [email protected] we will be glad to help.
Hey there east coast person, from a formerly-from-the-east-coast-person :)
I 100% feel the same about my bariatric team. My bariatrician, surgeon, and nutritionist are at Elmhurst Hospital, and they are fabulous and helpful people. They saved my life, and they inspire me to always do my best with the gifts they gave me. They helped me figure out my eating disorder when so many other doctors drove me off. They are compassionate and they truly care about their work, and they have our best interests in mind. It is SO refreshing to see a surgeon who actually won't operate if it's not the best choice. It's sad that's revolutionary.
I am so glad you had a good experience, too! It's the best feeling to have great doctors and health people. I don't dread getting the care I need any more. I think it's fabulous you are so excited... and good luck with your continued success :)
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Donna thanks so much for your support! I'm at the end of week 2 and ready to start the next phase of this journey! Soft foods ;-) Whoopee! Actually I'm really anxious to try new things SLOWLY.
Hope your day is as bright as you've made mine.
Best to you,
Cris

It is exciting!
Harvey (the sleeve) is really cantankerous and refused any pureed chicken. Weirdly, I could only eat beef at first. Eggs were similarly rejected.
Trust me to have the backwards tummy....I am not surprised even my sleeve is grumpy, haha.
