I'm from Ridgeland and just saw this thread and thought it would be neat to chat with a bunch of other MS and maybe even tri county area folks! I had my surgery with Dr. Kenneth Vick on Monday, 12/9/13! I am doing great but sooooooooooooooooo ready for the puréed stage!!

I work at UMC in Flowood,MS at our Grants Ferry clinic.

Love to hear from some of you!!

Hi! I'm Janine and was sleeved on 9/24/2013. I'm 40 pounds down and still learning! I didn't use transformations so my post surgical protocol is a lot different. Good luck and keep us posted!

Welcome. I was sleeved on 11/11 by Dr. Carrol. I'm down about 40 lbs total. Down 23 since surgery. I used to work for UMC, but I now work for Ms State Hosp (Whitfield)

I have my consultation appointment on tuesday to start the process to get gastric bypass. As a state employee how long is the supervised diet with Dr. Carroll?

Hello, I am from Pearl but did not use any program around here. I was self pay because my BCBS of MS would not pay. I went to Mobile Al because all of the programs around here were $3000 to $5000 higher. My total cost was $11,900 (including BLISS insurance) + $127.00 for my initial appointment. I was sleeved on 10/24/13

I went to a one initial appointment with some jerk doctor at St. Dominic (their program for self pay was less than Transformations) and I paid $300 for him to be a jerk to me.

He had only preformed 75 surgeries He is also associated with Transformations in Flowood.

Hey everyone!! I'm a Mississippi girl too!! I live in Iuka. I have BCBs ins that has the bariatric exclusion so I'm having to pay out of pocket. I considered Mexico but decided I want someone closer if I had complications. I have my initial consult with Dr Pinson this coming Wed. Excited and nervous.

      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. 🤞
