Information Seminar Tonight!



Recommended Posts

I had mine done at Southern Surgical Hospital with Dr. Moore. The staff was amazing. There are several doctors in the practice and they work out of three hospital locations. I believe they are Slidell (where my surgery was), Metairie, and I think Gretna. I have no complaints with the process and it all went smoothly on their part. I was self pay so I didn't have to go through all the tests needed for insurance. They also specialize in laparoscopic surgery and were very knowledgeable.

I'm probably going to do mine through Ochsner. They have 2 surgeons to choose from and I met a lot of the staff at the meeting on Thursday. They all seemed wonderful.

I am going through my ins. Which means 6 months of a nutritionist and many tests... I called my ins yesterday around 4:15 and they transferred me to a department that is supposed to close at 5... It was 4:30 by the time I got transferred and tat department was already closed... Now I have to wait til Monday. So that was a little frustrating...

I was so much calmer about the thought of surgery after my seminar. Any questions or fears you have' date=' write them down. I had questions and of course in the moment forgot what I wanted to ask.

Otherwise, take it all in and you can make your ultimate decision armed with as much info as possible.

Good luck!![/quote']

What doctor are you considering? Dr Noyan in nj did mine I highly recommend him

Ameejo the whole process can get frustrating. Hang in there it's worth it in the end.

I will NOT give up... This dream of being healthy and skinny and having children one day is worth so much more that the frustration this process many bring =]

      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.
