denosia123 0 Posted February 17, 2010 Hello all, I have been posting but thought I never introduced myself. I have been overweight most of my adult life. I had lap band done while staying in Memphis,TN in 2007. I got divorced within months and relocated to my home in Greenville that is 3 hours from Memphis. Adjustments were a killer. I am a nurse practitioner and this role was new for me. In other words my 2 years with the band was torture. I was stuck alot and loose some. But lost about 80 - 90 lbs over a year. In September my band slipped and was removed. I have been researching what next. Then decided on the VSG. I am so glad I found this site. Everyone is so helpful. I am scheduled for Dr Wade Baker, Dallas on March 19th . I am self pay but its worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thinoneday 445 Posted February 17, 2010 Hi! And Welcome! You'll like it here, we are totally friendly and a great support group. . You will love VSG. . in the beginning it's a bit weird, but after you get used to it, you'll love it. . . have you ever looked at San Antonio? I had my surgery done for $15,500. That includes the surgeon, anesthesia, hospital stay for 3 days, monthly checkup for 1 year, any problems that occur you can call 24/7. . . i think it was a good price, and it was nice to stay at home and not travel to Mx or somewhere. . . good luck with your decisions.
