Surgery date - finally



Recommended Posts

I'm getting there. Much better today. Having trouble getting a call back from Dr. Nick's scheduler to reset surgery.

Not

Sure if you had been talking to Keisha but she is no longer there. Was trying to set my consult up and never heard back from her.

This is Abby's number that took her place: (972) 432-6832

Dallas, TX

Or a main number that is different from the 800 number (could never get an answer at 800 number) : +1 (972) 494-3100

Plano, TX

Hope that helps!

Thanks so much. Sylvia, the coordinator called me back finally as well as a nurse from Dr. Nick's office. Lisa had already stared things in motion, which is great, but wish she had let me know. Appreciate the extra numbers though! I have to wait 3 weeks because of the steroid injection, but can call Lisa Monday to set the date!

Welcome! Glad they got back with you! Aww that stinks about the extra 3 weeks! I was hoping to get a consult sooner but he's out for vacation right now and then I guess booked up til the 23 of July for consults.

Looks like I'll be an August sleeved. Back is probably going to require minor surgery and have to have that done first so I can walk and sit again comfortably. Continued good luck to all of you.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
