I'm in South Central Missouri. Ste. Genevieve, which is an hour south of St. Louis. :) I was sleeved on May 21st by Dr. Richard Follwell at Des Peres hospital in St. Louis. I'm doing great. Had some issues with stomach spasms and side pain in the beginning but now I'm fine.

I didnt have to have the psych because I had the band and had to have it removed in aug and because i already had one and I already seen the dietician in sept and then I go to my last dr visit a the end of nov. then I start my pre-op on the 3rd of dec and then surgery dec 17th ! Dr woods has done several surgerys on me the past 2 yrs I love Dr. Woods and meridith so much they are wonderful they have been a blessing in my life:)

That's great for you. I've only met with him once and he seems very nice. He told me the popularity of the lap-band has been declining. I also have a friend that is having hers removed. I'm so excited to have my surgery done and over with. If it could do it tomorrow I would. But I decided to wait till the new year so I won't waste my deductible. He did also say I would probably have to have my gallbladder out either before or after the sleeve. Well good luck to you.. Keep posting on your progress

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
