No issues for me either, although I'm only a few days out. Was very pleased with the hospital and staff at NWMC as well for the most part, didn't know what to expect, and am kind of a stickler for some things since I work in a hospital myself.

Hi Amsaf

I am now over a year out from my surgery with Dr. Shillingford, and still have nothing but good news to report. I could not be happier with my decision to use him. My only regret is that since his office is three hours away for me, I haven't followed up as regularly as I should. But since I haven't had any complications, this really hasn't been an issue.

Please feel free to check out my blog for more details regarding my surgery day, and hospital stay. I really went into quite a lot of detail!

I had surgery with him on May 11th and have nothing but good things to say about him.

Also while in the hospital the nurses continuously said how he is a great surgeon.

My follow-up appointments are difficult to get to being 4 hours away but I know I must so I make myself drive there.

      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. 🤞
