Who is doing your surgery??

Hi, Amy!

I am going to use Dr. Bledsoe in Alexandria if my surgery ever gets approval. My insurance company threw a wrench in my plans for the 9th. Everything has been turned in again. Are you from Anacoco as well?

Hi CherylA...Dr Bledsoe is my surgeon as well. Luckily I've been approved for may 7. Are you going to use the support group?

Hmmm. This concerns me. I've had good experience so far. But am not that into it yet. I don't have a strong opinion either way bout my selected surgeon. If it turns into an issue, I will go elsewhere.

I'm doing better the last few days but Monday I went to my primary care because I wasn't feeling good and she sent me to hospital to get 2 bags Hiv Fluid. I lost 20 lbs first week and this second weak I've only lost 2 lbs.

      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.
