Hey all! I'm currently living in Norman (go to OU) and having my surgery on Nov 26th with Dr. Katsis (through Dr. Kirk's office at Bailey medical in Owasso). I'm curious about possible support groups in the Norman area for post-surgery sleevers? I feel like I won't have a lot of people around campus to talk to about my experiences.

Joysdelights we can be sleeve buddies! :o). I am hoping for a January surgery with Dr. Le. I have finished all the requirements and am waiting to be submitted to insurance. Good luck with your sleep study. I didn't particularly enjoy it but the staff was really nice.

Hey all... I just moved to okc and need a Dr to follow up with. I had wls March 28th and have been super successful, but I would like to find a local doc to check in with every once in a while. I have tricare, so a doc that accepts it would be helpful :)

Thanks Lucky. I would be happy to be your buddy. Sorry it took so long to reply. My sleep study was good. Got me a CPAP! I don't much like it. My last meet with Dr Le is January 2nd. Hope to get things moving then. Have you got a surgery date yet? I am worried about the preop diet. I can't lose any weight. My BMI is only 35.8 right now and I am afraid I might not be approved.

      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.
