Yes Dr Toby Broussard at Weight Wise in Edmond has a great rate. I was going to use Dr Ariel Ortiz at OCC but after the discounts from Weight Wise, I'll be spending the same price as mexico including flight so I'm staying local.

I was going to go to Mexico if my insurance denied me. But, thankfully I didn't have to. I had surgery at Bailey's on 2/21. I feel so blessed to have been able to stay here. Good luck to everyone....

Yes, Kimmy, I am doing great. I went to my first post op appt yesterday. I have lost 28 pounds. That is the preop diet and the two weeks after surgery. Dr. Katsis said it was "excessive". Lol......He said I needed to eat more. I have NEVER been told that in my life. I can't eat any more, that's all I can hold. How are things going with you? Good, I hope. Thanks for asking....keep in touch...

I had one with him at 9am and he was still in surgery. So i was not able to stay. I have lost 52 including pre op. And I'm 9 weeks out. Saw Lisa @ Dr Kirks office today and she told me to increase my Protein. But other than that... Things are good

I'm doing great Megs! Welcome Alisha! We have a great group of Okie's......Megs, I finally found a Protein Drink I can drink. I was so excited. I have spent a ton of money trying to find something. I tried the Premier Protein from Sam's and to me, it just tastes like chocolate milk. I was scared to death that I would be bald headed in about 4 months because of not getting my Protein. Hope things are going good with everyone!!

        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
