Any Oklahoma Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Thanks, I don't think I can say I have loved every minute since I was sleeved but I am losing so I am very happy. I am just finding it hard to get used to eating so little. But my sleeve definitely lets me know when its full!

Yes. I thankfully have had no problems since surgery. Stress test wasn't bad. And I already had a sleep test done. It makes a world of difference if you have apnea and use the machine I love mine but I have been off of it for about 3 months and I am sleeping great. Don't stress... Tests are not a deal breaker just want to make sure they know what is going on

Thank you, thank you! You have eased my mind and calmed my nerves. In just ready for the surgery!!!!! I can not wait to have a date set!!!!!!

Ladybug, I am also going thru Bailey in Owasso :) My surgeon is Dr. Katsis and I'm hoping for a July surgery. I know a few people who have went thru Bailey as well; two of them had Dr. Varnell and absolutely loved him.

Battgirl... I am getting my sleeve done at St Johns also. Did you mean Dr. Arroyo? That's who

I am seeing. Did you like him? My last NUT appt is June 24. Then hopefully United Healthcare will hurry up and do their thing, and I can have my surgery in July. How are you doing? Happy?

Yes Dr. Arroyo I just love him! I also have United Healthcare and they paid for my surgery. I am doing great losing about 2 to 3 pounds a day♡ One of my incisions is still really sore. I go Tuesday for my 2 week post op so I am going to talk to him about that then. It is so exciting I hope you get your date soon. Keep in touch and ask me anything. This hasn't been easy but very worth it so far!

Ladybug, I'm not sure what the two day stress test is. My stress test was just a treadmill test that took a half hour or so. They also did a heart ultrasound that day before they put me on the treadmill. The only thing that took more than a few hours for me was the sleep apnea test, which was overnight of course.

Oh my, that really worries me! Lol. I hate to talk about doctors on here, but did you ever have any issues with Worley? It seems like I can never reach anyone in the office to answer questions. My last test is the sleep study and its not even scheduled. In so excited about surgery and really want it scheduled. Just wondering?!?!?

I've had no issues but everything that was scheduled was done through Bailey not the individual Dr's

That's what I thought too. I talked to Kirks office today and she told me to call Worley. She said they should schedule the study. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
