I am going thru them as well. I am out of the Austin location. They have been awesome so far. My surgery was May 17th and I get my first fill in 3 weeks. Dr Esquivel was my surgeon and I have heard he also works out of SA.

Good Luck Katwomantx

Hey Kitty,

I know I am SO excited. I am using Dr. Hollis. I have not met him yet, my first pre-op appt is Mon June 20, but he has like 25 years experience. I hope all goes well for you. Let me know how it goes, we are being banded like 2 weeks apart.

Hi Michael,

I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Hollis. When you're doing pre-op I will probably be in the OR!! We might even pass each other on the way in or out!!

Let's stay in touch!

      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.
