Hi I was wondering if you went through a coordinator? Or just them? Also how much was it with him? Did you find anything wrong when you went with Bajanor?

I'm also on the 23rd, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Bubank, I was originally scheduled for the 29th but the surgeons office called yesterday and r/s I guess this is a food thing... I started my pre-op liquid diet today and it wasn't as bad as I expected. What's yours like? And how's that going?

The good thing I think is that we won't be home around all the leftovers to tempt us right??

I'm excited and nervous and I don't know what else

Hi StillNoRegrets83. I used a coordinator that lives here in Louisiana named Dedria. She is a past patient of his and her friend Lana (who is also from louisiana and a past patient) owns and operates the Grace Guest Recovery house where I will stay after discharge. I have several personal friends who have gone with her to have their surgery and have all had great reviews and no complications that I know of. The price is 6900 and that is at INT hospital with Dr. Ponce and staying at the Grace Recovery House. My only other expense is my flight and some cash to tip drivers and buy meds (about 30 bucks) and shopping money. :)

Bajanor... well I had my lapband placed there in 2006... so over 6 years ago. I cant necessarilly say anything "bad" about the hospital or the care I received but I will say that I was uneasy and uncomfortable and would not go there again, especially for the sleeve. The clinic type hospital was dated and just "okay" then and i recently browsed the site and it has the same photos basically as it did back then. I did not have a bad experience and I dont think my problems with lapband were due to them... just general lapband hell complications.

Let me know if I can help further. I will post details on my surgery.

Michi my pre op starts tomorrow, Friday. Its basically all liquid diet. No sugar or caffiene. Lots of yogurt, Protein Shakes, creamy Soups, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER! Im not really looking forward to it... especially since I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family the day before my surgery. Seems kinda cruel huh? LOL :) GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ME POSTED ON YOUR SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for the information Charissa. I too had a band. Mine was put in 2 years ago, and taken out a year later. I had mine done in Mexico, and would love to go back to that doctor, but my experience with the facilitator was well horrible lol. I would love to go back to that doctor, but I do not know who facilitates to him. Anyhow, thanks for the information. I am not sure of facilitators, I am just not finding many online. So thanks for the info you gave

      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
