I have been scheduled with Dr. Reily.....but I am torn because he won't personally be doing the after care like Dr Wilkenfield. How are your results? Do you feel like the nurse aftercare is as good as the surgens? How is the aftercare support at that office?

Dr. Reilly performed my surgery. He is excellent and very thorough when answering questions and makes sure you understand the entire process. My aftercare has been WONDERFUL! If I could have Nurse Ida as my PCP, I would do so in a heartbeat! :) I've also seen Nurse Roxanne - she's great as well. They're not concerned with the band alone - but your health as a whole and how the band plays a role in improving your health.

NewLifeRight- iband was just the same as lap band but they also folded my stomach in twice and stitched it. So once the food leaves my pouch into my stomach, my stomach is now the size of the "sleeve" supposedly. I have had only one follow up and his staff is really nice.

It is all wonderful. Had my first fill on 12/7 and the nurse I saw was super nice very informative. Didn't rush me or nothing. Had a great visit

Hi, I had Dr. Reilly back in April. I only met him once and then once again before surgery. I don't even think I saw him after surgery. My opinion of him is neutral because he wasn't nice or mean, just kind of there. He did a good job as far as my scars are minimal and my recovery was pretty easy. Good Luck!!

Sometimes, its a matter of who can get you the results from a technical standpoint, IE: the surgeon. However, surgeons cut and sew. As someone who has been in healthcare for 20+ years, the "caring" after surgery may come from other sources. The doc who did the surgery, may not be the one you need for support, encouragement, and tlc afterward, but darn they did a good job to start you on this journey!

It is probably from anesthesia. It makes all your organs so relaxed. I sat there for like 30 min trying to go. It just takes time and you have to relax and take deep breath which helps it come out.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
