Hi,

I am looking into this procedure with Dr. Deol.

If anyone could give me input on how she and her staff are, it would be greatly appreciated.

I always say the more info you have the better off you are!

Thanks!

Hi BaileyM!

Are you still going with Dr. Deol? I called CORI centers and they sent a packet for me to fill out. I sent it in and have not heard back from them. I've been in contact with their main office and they are very surprised that the surgeon's office has not contacted me yet. Sooo, I was looking into Dr. Deol myself. She has very good reviews and her website is very informative. However, it says you must have 6 mo of a Doctor supervised weight or excercise program to qualify. Have you found this to be true? Have you had your consult? I also read that you must see a Beaumont Internist (not just your own PCP) and the nutritionalist and pychologist appointments are set up by Dr. Deol's office. Have you gone thru this yet? Where abouts are you? I'm in the Grosse Pointe area.

Thanks and best of luck to you! This is such an exciting and scary time!

Hi Debra,

I have not heard of the things you are talking of.

My first appointment is March 17th, so I will be able to update you then.

I found that the cori center seemed a little more structured and have not heard of anyone n here going there.

Dr. Deol has a very good rep on this board so I decided it was best for me.

I live in plymouth.canton area.

Indeed this is very scary and exciting!

Will keep you posted!

Hi Baileym!

I called Dr. Deol's office on Monday and talked to Rebecca. I was lucky enough to snag an unexpected opening for today (Wed). Rebecca faxed over 14 pages for me to fill out and bring with me. They are both really nice! I was very pleased w/ Dr. Deol. I don't have a date yet, of course, but I'll keep you posted. Maybe we'll be hospital buddies!

Take care!

Debra

Sounds like a plan! LoL

I was offered that same appointment, but my ins. needed at least 3 weeks to kick in.

Too funny!

What was the best thing you liked about Dr. Deol?

What was the worst?

I am so nervous, scared, excited, anxious, frustrated and eager all at the same time.

I think I could be the next Cybil! LoL

Please tell me everthing that went on at your first appointment.... Maybe I could lose a few of my emotions!

E-mail me @ michelleb@fdigroup.com

Thanks!

Baileym:D

      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
