kshill321 20 Posted June 29, 2016 I decided to have surgery to help me with my weight loss. I went to my first appointment on June 18,2015 and attended my first nutritional class that same day. I weighed in at 464 lbs. I could not believe I weighed that much. I began to exercise and eat healthier. I had to do 12 months of nutritional classes for my insurance. My doctor required a 2 week liquid diet pre op. I had my sleeve on 6/14/16. The day of surgery I weighed in at 371 lbs. That is 93lbs. I lost on my own. The day I was released from the hospital I weighed 379 from all the fluids they were pumping in me. Today makes 2 week post op and I weighed in at 345 lbs. I cannot believe I am down 119 lbs since this journey began. I have an awesome family who encourages and supports me 100%. I WILL SUCCEED!!!!!!!

My surgeon took cash only no exceptions. He's one of the best there is plus he's a trauma surgeon. I'm very Blessed I had him instead of someone else. He gives his personal number out for you to call him anytime and he cares a lot. I haven't ever seen a Dr so into his patients and making sure everything is ok in my whole life and I have seen a lot of Dr. Good luck and be Blessed with your new journey.

kshill321 20 Posted June 30, 2016 Yes I am blessed. My insurance paid 100%. I didn't have to pay a penny. I did have to wait a year and attend 12 nutritional classes before the surgery was approved. I was going to a different dr then he left but his partner picked up all his patients and I actually liked the dr that did my surgery better. He took his time with me and his staff was excellent. I just have to email him or the staff and they return my call within 2 hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
