Congrats to you I'm behind you on Monday the 21

I'm having my surgery at St Tamnany hospital with Dr Orydone from northlake surgery in Covington La Monday 1/21/13

It might be to scare ppl but jealously I doubt it I think the topic speaks for it self horror story we all kno what that mean don't respond if you don't want to be scared but like me I'm not scared easy I have my mind made you and I'm taking all the risk if this scares you to the point you doubt having surgery it's not for you

I live in Hammond La but I'm having my surgery in Covington at St Tammanny hospital w Dr Karl Orydone from northlake surgical

It took me a year to go through this process I had to change pcp cause he didn't agree with what I was doing my insurance changed in the middle of everything and when all this happen I took two months off cause I was giving up and I woke up still over weight and in pain I decide I can't live like this quitting didn't help me wake up and feel better keep going cause life will not stop just cause you stop you gone continue to wake every morning my surgery is for Monday and I'm happy I didn't give up

I think that you can its only a couple points off I think at the end if the day it depends on who reviewing at the insurance companies although I have found that UHC I one of the insurance companies that us strict one it comes to their policies but I say give it a try w what you have

In my opinion she wanted ppl to be aware if the risk which we all kno about that risk but everyone story it different kno one has to respond to post like this the subject of the story says horror story explanatory

I believe her story about her sister it's amazing how you think someone would make something so sad up its not that serious ..sorry to hear about your sister

Happy. Your taking the first step my surgery on the 21st of this month and I'm scared not of the irreversibility part of it but of the unknown I look at it this why if you have the sleeve ( any wls) and its successful why would u reverse the risk is sometimes higher to reverse

Good luck !! Oh boi reading this got me to thinking my surgery is in the 21 st and your post is bringing me to reality .. Hope have speedy recovery

Are you from Texas cause that's where it's most popular I don't particularly think I would like the procedure because its the Lapband w the gastric pilcation the Lapband for one is just a bad idea then the pilcation is when your stomach is folded over like a sleeve and stapled ..I think it's too much going on at once and I don't agree w having my stomach folded over I figure I cut out my stomach cause its not like imma go back and unfold my stomach no harm intended but why do you see more ppl w the pilcation visiting this site cause the site for ppl that support pilcation it's no one really speaking out about it believe me I've thought about the pilcation so I've researched the procedure it too new plus w the band added to it please just do your research why go through all of that when you can Have your results w one procedure the band is a temporary procedure it's not met to stay in your body for every a lot of ppl don't kno that good luck to you

I partly agree ..about the whole advice thing I don't kno what she going to do cause we can't help her

My surgery is on the 21 of January as well I do my pre op on Tuesday which is today I think you'll be fine pre op is usually at the hospital where they draw blood and stuff at least that's how mine is I go pick my orders up from the surgeon office and then go to the hospital for pre op good luck

This is how I feel some what I'm having my surgery on the 21 of this month I been driving everyone in my house crazy plus my husband .. Good luck ..praying for u

I kno I got some spell checks In there but what in saying is don't risk it cause it could make you prone to getting an infection

It might not hurt your stomach but it could cause you to heal slow or improper which could bake you more prone to infection I would risk it ..I kno what your going through I'm ten months ex smoker when I started this process I stop cause I wanted my doc to take me serious that I could commit to something good luck and hold out

My surgery is jan 21 and I have kno pre op diet I wanna kno is there anyone out there that has had surgery w out the pre op diet and how is it going.

Dumping can also happen if you've had your gallbladder remove cause I've experienced it but I would say u could get dumping w the sleeve cause I like to think anything could happen w ppls body everybody don't experience the same things its the norm for ppl not to dump w the sleeve but I would say its not possible

I was going for the band when I first thought about wls but my surgeon flat out said no I don't recommend it and his office and many of his doctor friend are doing away w it you should rethink to having the band go for the gold cause u kno it's a better chance if it working you going through surgery make it count if you gone but your self at risk ..but I will say good luck cus I want you to succeed in what ever choice u make
