@EnglishDan This is awesome news! I too am considering the sleeve! I live in Springboro and Im considering Dr Teel's office as well! I haven't had an appointment with them yet, but rather I have done a consultation with a Dr. Finnell in Wichita Falls Texas where we moved from. I have a friend who had surgery with him so I felt a trust there. But I really don't want to travel back to Texas to have the surgery. I am really thinking of doing a consult with Teel and proceeding in Ohio. Sounds like you are happy with the results and his work, support etc?

How much assistance did you need after surgery...I have a 7 year old boy and my husband works so he could take couple of days off but aside from that we don't have family in this area. That is another reason I considered going back to Texas since I have family in that area and the friend that had the surgery and knows what to expect for me. Thanks for any information in advance! Have a great week!

Dr teel and his staff are great. I was in and out of surgery within 45 mins. I only had 4 incersions and I was up within an hour of getting to my room,walk walk walk, only way to get the gas out of you really. I needed only 1 or 2 pain meds and I was back at work 3 days later. I know everyone is different but I fou d it really quite easy,not what I was expecting. Dr teel is one of those doctors who is straight to the point with zero bullshit, that's the kind of doctor I like.

I really really do highly recommend Dr Teel,I was done and home over night,I was only on Clear liquids for 3 hours then went straight on to full as I was doing well, you will be in super safe quality hands with him.

He's so good my girl is having it done by him on Aug 11

      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
