Switching providers again!



Recommended Posts

I am switching providers again (3rd time) because now I finally found a doctor who will do both surgeries (Lapband to RNY) at the same time. I was approved for lapband removal with the (1st doctor) but he will do the RNY 3 months after the removal and the second doctor has the same feeling but for a different reason. I completed the nutritional classes and psych evaluation with the 2nd doctor. All I need now is a PCP letter and I will get that Monday so that I can submit it the 3rd doctor. I will have the 2nd doctor send over the psychological report and medical records showing that I attended the nutritional classes. Has anyone experienced anything similar and had issues getting the psych paperwork to the new doctor for submission?

It's cool to see another Tennessean on here. I didn't have a revision, so I'm not sure how the psych eval goes with that, but my Dr got my psych eval before I did. They emailed me saying they had it and a few days later the psych dr called saying he had sent over my eval then the next day, I got the copy of his letter to my surgeons office.

Yea, I rarely ever see a Tennesseean on here. What doctor is doing your surgery? Dr. Wagner in Memphis will be doing my surgery.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
