So go get the test again & then they will get u in. In the meantime why not see your primary if you are having problems, they did sign the paperwork stating they would provide you care after your surgery. While I know the answering system in his office is a pain, don't let that discourage you in recovering & receiving proper care.

@ new i guess i am alittle bothered that i can't get to see the dr. and i have to arbitrarily subject my self to further radiation diagnosed by some one with out a medical degree, because they failed to treat me the first time, and my symptoms have not changed. i saw my primary monday. you don't want to know what she said.

Did your primary suggest you get a second opinion from a second bariatric doctor? If you are that unhappy with the care you are receiving then you have every right & reason to do so. However, never having seen you before they would (should) send you for tests to find out what/if there is a problem. But of course this is just my opinion.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
