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.

I'm hoping for a July surgery too! Have you done the two day stress test? That's next on my list. I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous!!!!

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!

      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.
