Who Was Your Gastric Sleeve Surgeon



Recommended Posts

My surgan was Lawrence Drahota, and the surgery was done at Blue Valley Hospital in Overland Park Kansas. I was pleased with the care I received and with Dr. Drahota who was very good to explain all the risks and outcomes of the surgery to me prior to my surgery. I would recomend him and his hospital to anyone in this area thinking of having surgery. I live on the Missouri side of Kansas City

My surgeon is Dr. Sanjoy Dutta, Kaiser in Fremont, California. He's awesome!! I knew I loved him when he had the same yuck factor I do about drinking milk.

My Surgeon was Dr. Armando Joya, at Amerimed Hospital in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. He was great and the standard of care I recieved from the hospital and staff was beyond anything in the US. He, the other surgeons,and the nutrionist all speak English. I would highly recommend him. I had around the clock nurses (usually 2). My stay was 3 days and 2 nights. My cost without the hotel stay was $6,500.00

My surgeon is Dr. Nowzaradan and I am having my surgery at University General Hosptial. My doctor was featured on TLC/ Discovery, as he performed weight loss surgery on the Half Ton Teen. I really like him and his staff is very caring! He is a revision specialist, so that was very important to me since I have lapband complications. I will let you know more after my

revision.

OMG! I watch him on tv. Cool!

      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.
