Welcome back! Personal trainers are so expensive. I don't know how anyone can afford $300 plus a week! Did your doctor have a partner at his practice or do you remember the name of the dietitian there? I was thinking that maybe you could locate a staff member or partner who could provide you with the diet plan and other information you might need. Good luck with everything!

Hello Lamont! Great to see you back. You started a nursing career at the age of 16? I am so in awe of you. And now law school? I need half of your ambition and I would consider myself successful! I can soooooo relate to that head hunger! Hopefully you can reconnect with your surgeon somehow? Maybe the hospital where you had your surgery has some information on how you can find him?

Hello! Thank you for the kind reply. I actually spent my childhood and teens in California - the San Fernando Valley outside Los Angeles to be exact. I hope your post-op period has gone well and that things have been successful after your procedure.

A-Lo-Ha!!! I wish I was a VSG'er to provide surgery specific support. So, I will chime in and say Best of Luck. You can do this!

I've seen Dr. Alvarez' posts so you may get a response. I have also seen member services chime in and ask if you need help finding a provider.

I know I am with you on getting back into the gym, but I am lacking motivation, honestly. I think being at home for the last year has turned me into a couch potato. Trying to do things to get my body moving but I know a lot of it has to do with food choices and all I want is carbs.

I congratulate you on pursuing your passions! I look forward to seeing your success, going forward!
