    Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has been to Parkview Bariatric Center in Fort Wayne IN ? My first consultation appointment is set for June 19th and I'm trying to do a little background if possible. Thanks

    Hi, just wondered where else can I buy the Vitamin patches? I've ordered through Bariatric pal on my last 2 orders, I usually get the Sleeve Vitamin Patch Pack 3 by PatchAid, but now they have been out of stock and don't know when they will be in. Even though I was set up on a automatic delivery. Crazy to me. So hoping I could find a back up brand. Thanks

    Good morning, Sorry for the long post.. But I think I'm gonna need some support here, my plane takes off tomorrow and my surgery is the next day. I am so getting nervous and jittery about the surgery and the new life that is about to begin. I sat there thinking last night that maybe i should just postpone this and wait and see how i feel later on. But I know I would be chickening out which is so unlike me and just making excuses like (I'm not that heavy, I still fit into my clothes (only because I had to keep buying bigger sizes), I can control my eating (so I'll just start exercising a lot more), Everyone loves me for who I am (but I have to Love myself too), I lost 11pounds so far on pre op so why can't I keep going and keep it off. And up to this point I have been strong and encouraged and very focused on this journey. So now I'm trying to talk/think myself out of it, Thanks for listening and any encouraging words would be much appreciated

    Oh my gosh, I'm feeling the same way right now, this is my last day working and tomorrow I board the plane and have surgery the next day. So, my stomach is doing all sorts of things and this is minor compared to what my mind is doing. But we'll get through this, there is a reason for it and it's why we are all here.

    I am experiencing the panic today, surgery is set for July 4th. I've been great up until now, probably because my Pre-op started on Saturday. And now my mind and belly is telling me " think twice about this" Just trying to calm my nerves here, the people have been awesome !!

    It's a whole lot better today, don't feel the flu symptoms as much, but I think it's gonna be a long 2 weeks . But totally worth it in the end No pain since I don't have my VGS surgery till July 4th, who knows maybe I'll get lucky and I won't feel any pain then too. lol.

    I'm having a difficult time chosing between these two doctors. Dr Illiam- Bariactric pal Mx or Dr Gonzales at Oasis of Hope? Wondering if I could get some feedback on your experiences with either of them . Thank you

    Just scheduled my Sleeve for July 4th with Dr Ilian at Hospital BC Yay !!

    Im a little confused, is it Bariatric Pal Hospital or Hospital BC? I have heard that it is referenced as both names. If I have acid reflux is it ok to have the Gastric Sleeve or would I need the Gastric Bypass? Thank you Tammy Weller

    May I ask why you changed from Oasis of Hope to Mexico Bariatric Clinic? I am considering both and trying to decide which one. Thanks

      I choose oasis of hope at first. Seems to be a good hospital paula the coordinater was great.. When I booked the first time. I had to cancel do to covid here in michigan..i was impressed they returned my full refund.. So I do know it's not about the money..so I rescheduled. then I had to cancel again for unseen circumstances..lost deposit that time I didn't even inquire.. So when I was looking to reschedule yet a 3rd time. Mexico bariatric center was able to get me in with in 2 weeks.. That's all they focus on is the bariatric surgery. With an icu...i can't really say any thing bad about oasis of hope .. Mexico bariatric center seemed to be more thuro With paper work .i can say they have a few drs very in different pricing.. Was a bit confused on that part.! Mbc seems to have more details relating to the surgery...surgery on the on 5.th And leave on the 8th. Getting nervous. I'm starting the starvation diet today.. I totally pigged out last night on junk food.. Oh dr lopez from mbc will be doing my sleeve.
