Yes Megs, I go in the day before for the egd. What is that like? How long were you drowsy afterwards. I have an appointment later that day with Dr Lewis for the last time.

Make sure that you double check your time and call the office to make sure Dr Kirk has the same time. I was hooked up and everything at the hospital for 4 almost 5 hours before I went back. Coming out of the anesthetic was not bad. I was awake and not drowsy right after

Ok, Thanks Megs. I will call and make sure they have him down for the same time. 4-5 hours is ridiculous. Did you end up with one or two night in the hospital?

If my insurance would pay for my surgery I would definitely go to Dr. Varnell or Dr. Katsis. Since I'm paying cash I'm going to Mexico. I work for Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa and dr varnell and dr. Katsis (surgical associates inc.) are part owners and do all of their other surgerys where I work. They are awesome drs and super nice guys also. I do MRI/cat scan/xray and I used to work in the OR and when you work in the OR you get a behind the scenes look at how the docs really are and how they treat the surgery staff and I can say these two docs are top notch and treat others well. Some docs not so much and are really as**oles in the or. Anyone choosing bailey bariatric should know they are in good hands. I hope this helps some people. My name is Joanne and I live in broken arrow and I am getting sleeved on march 2nd by dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Excited but nervous.

Good luck Joanne. I have heard great things about Dr Alvarez on here. Dr Katsis did my surgery on 1/8. He was great

Had surgery this past thursday. I really didnt think it would set me back like it did. Feeling really weak today, but I know it will get better. Pain has never been an issue. I havent taken pain meds. I will just be glad when I start feeling some kind of normalcy. How long before you got back in the groove?

It took a couple of weeks before I started feeling normal again. Don't over do it. When u feel tired then rest. It will get better especially when u start eating something you don't have to drink

It gets way better. I am so happy that I did it. Yes Protein will help. Don't stress if you don't get all your liquids in right now. It gets better. Make sure to take your Vitamins in the morning or you have more of a chance to be up all night. Not real sure why but it happens...

      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
