I just had my sleeve done on the 11/14.Dr Richard Bonnor was my dr and is amazing. He is very straight forward and to the point.

I might have hit a serious roadblock. Dr Mirza said he wouldn't do it due me having had several previous abdominal surgeries..I am devastated. I have savedo for this for years.

I have not had my surgery yet, but my surgeon is Dr. Matthew St. Laurent at Northwest Endo Surgical. I've been impressed with his staff and particularly with how much time Dr. St. Laurent is willing to spend with his patients.

Dr. Marvin has worked on me and both of my sisters. His bedside manner is professional yet caring. I had 4 abdominal surgeries prior to the sleeve and he did a terrific job. Minimal scaring and I was feeling better by week 2. I would definitely give Dr. Marvin a try.

Dr Erik Wilson. I just had my lap band removed yesterday after having it 10 years. He’s holding off doing the sleeve because my slip was so bad. Everyone at the surgery center raves about him. He’s efficient, smart and have a great bedside manner
He’s at 6700 west loop south suite 500

      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.
