Hey everyone! I'm REALLY just starting the process...going to Dr. Vicks seminar on May 13th. I have to wait until my baby turns a year (May 5th) since they don't want to do surgery on someone who's just had a baby. I'm from Clinton and so I plan on having surgery at UMC with Dr Vick... partially because I work at UMC and am familiar with everything there. Anyone use him? I've been reading everyone's posts and am excited to get started. I've even talked to my insurance already and I definitely meet their criteria. :-)

Hi there. I'm from Pearl, MS. I'm going through this process now. I am awaiting approval from my insurance company. If, no, when I am approved, I will have my surgery at the Baptist Hospital.

I was born and raised in Greenville Ms. Sleeved in Atlanta Ga on 12/2/14

Doing great but at a stall right now. Ugh

Congrats to all the newcomers

All these post seem to be from 2014. I'm hoping to have surgery by the end of July or first of August 2015. I live in Morton, Ms About 30 minutes east of Jackson. I have to go to Oxford for my surgery because state insurance only pays in Oxford, Tupelo, and Pascagoula. Hope to hear from some 2015 sleevers. I am also 64 years old. Would also like to hear from people my age. Glad I found you Ms people.

I'm almost thru month 1 or 6 months with Activ Health (a diet counselor by phone) required by my insurance. I'm hoping to have my surgery around Thanksgiving at UMC. They are supposed to be getting bariatric surgery accredited in July.
