I don't have the energy to go thru all that but the basis of claim would be pretty easy since what he advertises on his website is not what he actually does.

Makes sense and I gotta tell you that it pisses me off as well. $27K out of pocket pisses me off. Sad thing is while Boyce is a great "safe" cutter, he has a huge reputation in this area as being one of the best at what he does but in reality it seems that in my case he did not take the time...

I did not write the op report so I can only guess as to what it means but it is the only thing that makes sense. Op report verbatim: "A 120cm common channel was measured, and hemoclips were applied to the mesentery to mark that spot. An additional 150cm of bowel proximal to this were then...

Labs are fine (but I am serious with the vits) and since I stopped losing at 9 months, I assume it is safe to say that my AL is not 150cm... Pretty sure the 150cm needs to be added to the 120cm for a total of 270cm AL with a 120cm CC. Boyce has stated many times to many people that he does not...

@DSRIGGS , Sorry it had been a long time since I read my operative report and after I went back thru it, I do see that Dr. Boyce did call out the AL in addition to the CC. My AL is listed as "measured out" at 150cm. My CC is listed as 120cm CC "was measured". I assume the total of 270cm is...

His comment was that being able to eat larger meals helped prevent long term malnutrition issues. I did not know enough then to question this bull hockey. I paid $27K out of pocket for it so yes I do feel a bit taken! There is no more $ in the coffers for any sort of revision. I know I could...

My current BMI bounces around between 31-32. My goal weight is 175lbs. I am 5'9". Here is a graph of my weight loss: My Weight Chart: My OP report only shows the CC length and mentions the 50% stomach reduction. No bougie size or capacity mentioned. Imagine my aggravation with Boyce after...

Have no idea since Boyce did not include this info in his op report. NOTE: CORRECTED BELOW

I would just ask him. Your the patient and it is your body and your the one paying him. I am sure he would rather talk it out now vs after the fact. I just did not know to do that before hand.

Hey folks, Been MIA here for a while. Been busy with work, life and trying to stay physically as active as possible. Trying to get back on track as my lowest weight was 194lbs for about 5 minutes 9 months out. Now my body has settled with floating around the 210-215lb mark. I am very active...

I would also add as a Boyce DS patient who is 2 years and 4 months out, please ensure you discuss with him exactly what he plans to do regarding your sleeve size and common channel length. When I had my DS I was uninformed and just assumed I would get an industry standard DS but when I got home...

Thanks everyone. I usually buy em from VL because when it is all said and done, the cost is reasonable, I like the capsules and finally it is pretty much a one stop shop for me. One more thing is that I kinda like to support VL a bit because they have really provided the WLS community with a...

Ps, I Take 6 if these a day... Vitalady Tender Calcium Citrate Only 300mg(elemental) Capsules 240 cap/btl

Anyone got a good alternate source to Vitalady's calcium? On backorder till mid May and I am out.....

It is time for me to go public with the next big challenge I have planned for myself... A fundraising effort for the fight against Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) - By supporting the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation (theGSF) which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing global awareness of...

So disappointed in the Biggest Loser tonight and the comments that Dr. Huizenga made at the end of his appearance on the finale show!

1 year ago today, God blessed me with a third new life. Thanks to all the family and friends that have helped me along my journey to becoming a new person. Thank you to my loving wife that stood by me throughout the entire process! Without her, I would have never made it! Down over 130lbs! Down...

Closing in on a year out. I have mixed emotions on where I am at this point. For the first 7 months out of surgery I was doing amazing. I was hitting weight loss numbers well above the averages that my surgeon's office was comparing me to. I started running and had worked my way up to an...

Welcome @TammyJ ! Listen to the vets here and when their advice starts to contradict Dr. Boyce's office, go with the Vets!

Virgin DS by Dr. Boyce on 1/6/14 I was in the hospital 3 days because my guts took a while to wake up and that caused me to vomit earning me an extra day. I was back to work in 2 weeks. 1st followup was 2 weeks, 3 & 6 months, next one will be at the year mark. Some labs at 3 months, full...
