Recommended Posts

Recently, when I try and look at someones Surgeons profile, I get the following message. I really like to be able to see a persons doctors info.

Maybe I'm weird, but I like to know if "my surgeon says....." is coming from someone who has 1 or 31 years of "experience". Also, I like to be able to look and see if other patients of that surgeon experience similar. Why did this change? Thanks! David

This is the message....it says whomever their doctor is.

Ooops!
Dr. Enochs does not currently have an active surgeon listing with BariatricPal!

Please click here to go back to the surgeon search directory

Well I know my surgeon is no longer operating, he's retired and I am now seeing another group. So you wouldn't be able to find him on the list.

I'm talking in general Lisa. I can't even "see" my surgeons info. ...Or Alex's.

Am I the only one that can no longer see this?

@@catfish87 your right I tried to search your Dr. and I got that message as well, and it looks like under the message the profile is there but you can't get past the error to view it.

Perhaps the Dr. needs to update his profile with site and it's blocked for that reason?

Or maybe it's some new "premium" feature????

Either way, I feel it detracts from the knowledge available here. I put little credence in someone who comes on here and says "my doctor no longer does lapband" and I look their doctor up and maybe call them, and they say of course we still do bands! Just nice to verify the source sometimes. :)

@@catfish87 I agree with you on both accounts. It's nice to know the Dr.'s are supporting the site by obtaining premium memberships but it's also nice to have a frame of reference...though I suppose you could always google the Dr. and find that information as well.

      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. 🤞
