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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
