Hi there!!

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 24th, I just got home from the hospital this morning!

How are you feeling?

I'm just glad to be home!

I received excellent care, but I would rather be home resting! I also wanted to have my broth and Jello, LOL. I had only ice chips Tuesday and then ice chips and lemon propel all day yesterday, yuck. My pain is not bad, but the gas is not so fun.

I'd also like a sleeve buddy, so if you would like, add me as a friend!!

Soozmc, I was a self pay as well and wanted to stay local so I could have my family and friends around. I had a hernia that needed repair so my insurance had to pay for that. My total out of pocket was $7,200 with Dr. Stowers & Dr. Wright. Had I not had the hernia, my out of pocket would have been $10,950. I can not say enough positive things about the doctors, the staff and the hospital at Wise Regional (Decatur, Texas). Plenty of hotels arounds the hospital that work close in giving you discounted rates if you are using the hospital.

Good luck on your journey!

I was sleeved with dr stowers also but i had to pay 10,950.00 since i dont have insurance but like claudia said if you have insurance even for your endoscopy they can file it medical and the price goes down. They are a great team of doctors and the hospital staff is great. The hotel they recommend you is very nice, clean and cheap. I flew in on monday 4/16 for my pre op and on 4/17 i was having my surgery, I flew in from nc. They did all paper work by mail and fax and the docs consult was by phone and the psych eval also. Very convinient and the good thing about it is that if you have problems you can always go back and see him.

Hey there - I'm 3 days out myself! I spent only a day in the hospital & came home a day too soon I'm thinking. Dilaudid was so nice for the pain - lol. Not having too much trouble only having to re-train myself to learn how to drink more slowly. I have a J-P drain intact & it's draining well. Not sure if everyone get's one or not. Thank goodness for Turkey Hill ice tea & popsicles - they have been my saving grace. I am able to get my 64 oz. of Fluid thanks to the tea. Other than that - I am doing well & down 10.4 lbs. so far! :) Hope all is well with you and everyone else replying.

        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.

      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
