Sarah, my sister had her bypass with that Dr. And hospital in Sept. She spoke fondly of him.

As for me, I had my sleeve done by Dr. Suh at Inland Valley in Wildomar, CA. Although not super friendly and all business, I like him very much. My husband met the CEO of the hospital while I was in surgery and he had only stellar things to say about him.

I went to Dr. Kevin Krause at Beaumont Hospital in Michigan. Great doctor but bears an uncanny resemblance to Niles Crane from Frasier!

Dr. Nunn at the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti, MI. He's fabulous, great bedside manner! That being said, I've had a couple issues with unexpected medical bills and such. Boo!

I'm having my surgery with Dr. Krause tomorrow, and I have told everyone at Beaumont that he looks like Niles Crane and they laugh every time. :)

Dr Kieth Kim. Celebration hosp. Kissimmee Fl. Not the best bed side manner but very well respected. No complaints except some unexpected extra cost not covered by insurance. I would recomend him!

      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.
