Wondering if you ladies could help me with an issue I am having. I have a referral to go see Dr. Simon, but I found my insurance also has Dr. Graber, anyone can shed some light as to how you chose your Dr? I will like to have a gastric bypass, oh and what about the hospitals do you know anything about them? I am new to the area, and newer to the whole experience and this going back and forth looking at healthgrades is making me chicken out, please help!!!!

I would def do a consult with each dr, see who u are more cozy with , see who is more qualified. And see who practices what hosps. Check out the hospitals online and see what people are saying about each of them. It's going to take some work on ur part.... But this can be done!! :) good luck to ya! Keep us posted.

Dr Graber through st joes is one of the best in the state. The st joes team in the office and in the hospital was wonderful! Great aftercare too!

Dr Graber did my wife's surgery and mine. He is amazing as well as the staff he works with. The bariatric floor is also quite cozy and all private rooms. Def choose dr graber.

      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. 🤞
