Hey guys! I'm in Conway and was sleeved in Van Buren by Dr. Goodnight on 3/28/11. I have lost 67 since surgery day but 115 total since starting my journey. I am actually going to have a photoshoot in a few weeks to do some marketing for Dr. Goodnight and Summit. I'm really hoping that this will help get the word out in AR about the Sleeve and what a great option it is.

Just to introduce myself.....I am a wife, mama to 2 kids of my own (4&8) and to two foster children (5&12). I work from home but travel to NWA almost weekly for work.

Great to connect with you all!

P.S. Holly- Dr. Goodnight has a very good self pay price. Not sure what you're paying in MX (and not asking or being nosy) but just wanted to throw that out there. :)

Hi holly glad you posted always a good thing to hear from a fellow Arkansan. I wish you well on you trip to Mexico. I just would like to tell you that if you are Self paying Dr. Goodnight is doing these surgeries very reasonably for self pay. I am not trying to change your mine just relaying some information....

Good luck!

Lanette,

Very glad you found this post, I have been going to the support group meetings and to the seminars since my surgeries. Dr. goodnight has asked me to speak at the seminars several times, it is my pleasure to help out how ever, I am really not much of a wall flower. Not very shy at all so any question is not off limits to me. I would be glad to help i just do not one person to suffer the way i did for 10 years wanting to have a WLS..

      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
