I had run on May 23 with Dr. Houseworth. My surgery went well. I have had good experiences with the office and the nutritional office

Deb, can you tell me me about your experience? I'm debating between Dr. Srikanth and Dr. Houseworth.

He was great. Very kind and knowledgable, but honesty I didn't see him much. I saw him for 2 pre-surgical consults, the day of surgery, and the day of my discharge. My follow up appointments are with mid level physicians. I read up about him and he's done more robotic sleeves than anyone in the state. Overall, very happy with my choice.

I just had RNY with Houseworth June 20. He's very talented and experienced but doesn't check on you much post op which was disappointing because I had a rough go with it in terms of pain and would have liked to hear from him why I was having such a hard time.

Pretty good. The first 2 weeks were rough. I thought I was only going to be off work 1 week, but ended taking off 2. I'm cleared for all foods at this point. But meeting my Protein requirements is challenging.

Hey everybody. Surgery went well. No complaints or complications. I guess the only thing I would say is I wish I spoke to him more or that he was more friendly. He's nice. He was on time for rounds in the hospital . He did a beautiful surgery and gallbladder removal. All is well.

congrats. how long far out was your surgery date after approval? Ive been approved and currently waiting for him to sign off my packet so i can schedule

      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.
