Yes, I think I've read your other posts. I have been told by my Tassie surgeon to make sure I go to someone who has vast experience of sleeving after banding as its much more complicated. I did look Dr Moore up but couldn't see anything about how many procedures he has done. I'm seeing Ian Michell in Vic then heading up to see Dr Talbot then Dr Craig Taylor in NSW. I'm Hedging my bets by seeing 3 in the hope I will have a choice of surgeons.

Dud u have any other co-morbidity use. I have asthma which is worsening, recurrent back pain and a strong family history of high bp and diabetes.

My sister was banded by Dr. Moore 10 years ago. He is highly respected in Melbourne. I have a family history of diabetes and my knees were very bad. I was on the verge of having a knee replacement but now my pain has gone and I am walking 8kms most days.

Thanks AussieLady, I'm finding it hard as I am an RN in my state and know who is good and who is not surgeon wise .... But I have no idea about other states. Thanks for the advice.

It's just so sad that America has been left behind in the olden days!! Poor old soul - here's a tip - 100lb is 45kg - thus is what I need to lose to have a BMI of 20!

Do you count sheep in Roman numerals too in the US? Night night.... Zzzzzz

I'm so excited I found this forum! I had no idea to look under the "special interests" section, sounds so exotic....lol

Anyway, anyone going to MX for surgery?

I'm scheduled April 2, with DR Garcia ! I'm taking my wife for support!

      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.
