Dr Wilhelmy did my virgin DS and I would give him rave reviews.

I started at 277 and now weigh 138. I am the healthiest I have ever been. I am 44 yrs old, now on an estrogen patch and a progesterone pill to Even out my waning lady hormones. Unfortunately the rage, depression, anxiety, and poor sleep periodically return with a vengeance. I started...

How are you doing now, Don? What a journey we’ve been on!

This morning my BMI was 21.4. My PCP changed around some of my prescriptions a month ago and I lost 6 lbs in a week which freaked me out. This month marks my 3 year DS anniversary.

I'm glad you went to the doctor, Don! I will send you positive vibes.

133.8 this morning and 139.8 a week ago. I saw my PCP on Monday afternoon (my 44th birthday) as I was having some real hormonal rage and insomnia like never before. She's taken me off the BCP and we'll test my hormones in 30 days after the BCP is out of my system, if needed. I've added a...

Holding steady at 139 this morning. This DS business is pretty incredible. I have a birthday tomorrow. A friend taking me out for sushi tonight. Yay, fish!!!

My dad died of liver cancer from NASH in 2015 and that is the #1 reason I had the DS in 2018. Thanks for posting.

Not to be Debbie Downer, but the DS is the Cadillac of bariatric surgeries and it requires a bigger lifetime commitment than say a gastric sleeve. Are you committed to a lifetime of protein consumption, lab work, vitamins that can be pricey and complicated? The DS is a major, major lifestyle...

No.

I’m not sure where else to post this question. My eyes are dry and burn. I use Zaditor allergy drops, Xiidra prescription drops, an eye wash when I first get up, ice packs before bed. Do other DSers suffer with dry eye? I have had autoimmune flares effect my right eye the last 5 years. I’m...

Welcome. I would also be keen to know how you can plan to get your vits delivered reliably. I’ve listed overseas and got my mail through the diplomatic pouch system, which took awhile depending on various factors.

My BMI when I first began was 44. Today my BMI is 23. It will be 3 years in December.

My 68 years old mother in OH was finally contacted to get her jab tomorrow!

If you do have to pay out of pocket, I recommend Dr Wilhelmy in Mexicali. For what it’s worth: Wilhelmy did my virgin DS and I’ve had various scans and -scopes since in the US and every dr always compliments his work.

For me I like real butter, heavy cream, fatty cuts of meat, avocado, mayonnaise, and full fat salad dressings vice “greasy foods”. I do eat things that have been deep fried but greasy things would upset my system. I drink my coffee brewed pretty strong then with probably a good quarter cup of...

Today 138.1 Last week 143.8 My arms are now done and I’m back at work. Stamina is OK. I’m pleased with my results and the surgeon is also pleased. Post surgery my bathroom schedule is all over the place but this weekend I’ve eaten mostly seafood which usually makes my guts happy and egg...

Hi Don! Do you still struggle to stay warm or has that phase passed for you?

I may have been prematurely trying to wean myself off the heavy narcotics. I think my pain will greatly improve when I can sleep in more than 1 annoying position. ;)

I got my second Pfizer shot this week (now known around these parts as the Fauci Ouchie) and the next day I had more recliner naps than normal then a high (for me) fever complete with a wet head for about 2 hours. 100+ fever that came down with a generic Tylenol thing I found in the cupboard...
