I tried posting this a few times earlier but kept getting a error, so Ill try this again.

Hello everyone, my names Ashley I'm 25 and I'm from Michigan (sheesh sounds like corny dating site intro lol) and going threw the process of having VSG. Ive had a few bumps in the road, had some problems with getting a referral from my original PCP, found a different one and finally got a referral... woohoo! I have my first consultation with Dr.Hendricks at Henry Ford Wyandotte on April 14th, I'm excited and nervous as hell at the same time lol I just wish it be here already! I already went and seen the dietitian (you have too see her before you can have a consultation) last month and got my binder full of Pre-OP and Post-OP information. I still have to have a psych eval, but from what they told me I can have it done the day of consultation, so I hope I can do that and kill two birds with one stone. Has anyone else here gone to Dr.Hendricks? Ive talked too a few people over at ObesityHelp that have gone too him but would be cool too find more people , and if you would like to add me over at OH my name user is the same, anyways just wanted to introduce myself and congratulate everyone on there success!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
