Tawnya71 thanks. I'm doing better. It's just going to take me a little bit longer time to heel. Dr Kirk and Dr Varnell have both been really great and they are on top of things.

I was so scared too. Everyone on the second floor where you will be staying is super nice. Good luck to you.

I would be mad too. I haven't told anyone in my family that I had surgery 3 weeks ago.

I don't see one either.

How are things going for you?

Hey there. I had an apt with Dr Varnell today. He added a few new meds to help with the nausea. He thinks I may have an ulcer. I go back in 2 weeks and if I'm still hurting he's going to do a EGD on me to see what's going on.

Howdy! And welcome...I'm unable to help you, I was self pay. But if you have any other questions, I would be glad to help. I am 3 weeks post-op (sleeve), so if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. Have you had your first apt with Dr Kirk yet?

I am unable to get my liquids or protein. I've only been getting about 20 oz total when I'm supposed to be getting 64 oz total. At first, it was really hard to swallow anything but that has gotten a little better but my chest is on fire and I am still having a lot of pain. I've been hospitalized 2 times since my surgery. They gave me a ton of fluids and IV nutrition. Dr Kirk is keeping a watchful eye on me and he seems genuinely concerned. I just love him ????. I got out of the hospital on Friday the 20th and he wants me back in his office on Monday or Tuesday. He has changed my medications around so hopefully they start kicking in soon.

Hey guys, how is everything going? I got my sleeve on March 4th and I had to be readmitted to the hospital for numerous issues. I never dreamed that I wouldn't want to eat or drink again, but it is really hard to get anything down me.

Legal or not, if thats what's helping you, call your friend ????

Lol I was thinking it, just wasn't going to say it.

The next support group in Owasso is tomorrow, February 9th. Who all is going?

Kyrickchick64 he was on here on 2/3 but that was the last time I heard from him.

@@tawnya71, thanks. My emotions are just all over the place. I'm hopefully going to have the surgery the first week of March. My pre-op is scheduled but my surgery is not.

@@Martene81, how's it going for you? Hope all is going well. What appointments have you done?

Is there any other bariatric hospital you can go to? This is so jacked up. I seriously think that you need to go somewhere else. That guy sounds like a quack.

How did your appointment go?

Well, I sat up my pre-op apt, and the soonest I can get in is Feb 17th.

I'm sorry. I really hate to hear that.

Just checking in on you. How are things going?

I got an email from my bariatric navigator that I can go ahead and call Dr. Varnell and set up my pre-op appointment to set up my surgery. I am full of all kinds of emotions and not real sure how I feel about it.

BTW, have any of you all found a protein drink that you really like?

nymetzfan11 I wasn't about to go talk to some random guy that may or may not have been you lmao. You have a phone and my number too. . I'm just one dietician appointment away and now I don't know if I'm more scared or excited. I may go to one of the other support groups this month just to keep myself accountable. And for the Mexico thing, I just prefer to know the hygiene standards and get to know my doctor well in advance of him cutting out body pieces. It's nothing against Hispanics, but I've seen way too much tv where people go to Mexico for cheap surgery and end up with a nasty infection or dying. Not to say it doesn't happen in the US, but at least I've been to the hospital and in the OR and have met some people that work there. I feel they are competent and trust them with my life.

I was surprised by the amount of people there. Hopefully I will start going on a regular basis.

Are any of the rest of you going to the support meeting in Owasso tonight?
