I had sleeve done January 3rd in Tijuana with Dr Ramos Kelly at Angeles. I can't say enough wonderful things about both doctor and hospital. Dr Kelly is confident, skilled, and highly respected at the hospital. Angeles hospital is extremely clean, efficiently run, and I have never been treated as kindly as I was by the nurses & faretakers at Angeles. You simply cannot go wrong with these choices.

My surgeon was Dr. Steve Webb in Jacksonville, Florida. Surgery was done at Memorial Hosptial Jacksonville, a bariatric center of excellence. I was approved for a one night post op stay. I would highly recommend Dr. Webb. Great bedside manner, very calm and reassuring.

My surgeon was Dr. Benjamin Schneider at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. He is amazing. Kind, great listener, better explainer (is that a word?), does hundreds of procedures a year. Oh, and he teaches them at Harvard Medical School. Gets no better. Love him to BITS!

Hello everyone, my name is Tammy. I was sleeved 2 March 2015 in the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital by Dr. Oscar Chan. Dr. Chan is straight forward and does not have a very good bedside manner and is on his own time, but he is an excellent surgeon. I was in the hospital 2 nights. The nursing staff was also on the lacking side pretty much in attentive. I also had to know my own dietary restrictions and call down to the kitchen to order my own meals. HW 239 SW 216 CW 216.

My surgery was done on March 11, 2015 by Dr. Carlos Juarez from California Bariatrics at Clovis Community Medical Center. Due to nausea I was kept an extra day until I could tolerate fluids by mouth. I feel almost no pain and gas pain was almost non-existent. The hospital kitchen has special diets that automatically send the appropriate selections based on individual dietary needs ordered by the surgeon. Clovis Community has a wonderful staff and private rooms. I felt at home and slept well there.

My surgeon is Dr Maleckas, had my surgery in Lithuania, at Nordbariatric clinic. I'd say overall it was a positive experience :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
