Hi Lenore and Wayne. I live in Illinois, but work in St. Louis. I had my surgery in September, so I'm only a couple of months ahead of you. There is a lot to learn from this site, but let me know if I can be of any help.

Good luck to you both... or I should say, good luck to us all.

Hi Lenore. My name is Pat and I live in southwest Mo. I had my surgery Nov.30th. I had to drive to Norman, Ok. to get my surgery done. That is a 4 hour trip. I could have gone to Springfield, Mo., but my regular Dr. sends all his paients to Ok. and he insisted I go there. My Dr. is Dr.Ronnie Keith and he has been doing these for some time now and seems to have a really large practice and they seem to do a lot of surgerys in Norman. When I go there I always stay overnight. My husband and I are in our mid 60s and an 8 hour round trip is more than we want to tackle. I really like Dr. Keith and his staff. They are so supportive and kind. I don't regret my choice or my regular Dr.s choice. I think he is a very good doctor. I'm new at this but am willing to share any information I have.

      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.
