I prefer not to say. The care is very professional but atmosphere quite cool.

I am 18 months out and when I saw your post I had to smile.... "she" is indeed a Nut, also very pushy, condecending and I have caught her in a few lies!

I like everyone else there, Dr Larson is great, a skilled surgeon who always knows what to do. My very favorite is Kendra, she not only has an awesome personality, shes very compaaionate, at smart too!! Good luck to you in your journey!

OMG I am so glad to have seen these posts about "her". I almost didn't have it done there because of her. Dr. Simon is my surgeon, but I like everyone else. Monday is my surgery! I am excited and nervous. I have another "therapist" here in PSL that I relate to much better. Thanks goodness!

terrible bedside manners but staff was great except the phycologist is a NUT CASE!!!!....she needs head help!!!

I had a fairly good experience. I found everyone, including the psychologist, to be professional and caring. I never felt rushed, or as if I was a bother in any way. I appreciated the crisp businesslike approach because I am not a touchy feely type of person myself. As professionals they have a fine line to walk. they have to be careful not to be misread in any way.

Besides, I believe the results are more important than whether or not I would wish to socialize with anyone on the team. I believe most staff people are more public oriented than the Medical professionals in most cases regardless of the field they may be in.

I thought they did a bang up job all the way around and I will forever be greatful for their expertise and service.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
