Has anyone used him? What's his pre-op diet? How's his after care? I attended his seminar and he said all the right things....just want to talk to someone who has been there. Thanks.

Hi, I did not use him, but I thought I would bump the thread for you to see if we can get a response for you.

Did you go for your consult yesterday. I went and have surgery scheduled for the 13th. Have you been to the journeylite web site. they have a talk forum there you may be more likely to find someone who has used him. I have the email address of someone who used the dr but I want to make sure she doesn't mind me giving it out. She swares by him. the journey lite web site is www.journeylite.com

Yes I went to my appt. and started my pre-op diet today. I already had my surgery date, it's also the 13th! I'm so ready to start the new phase of my life. Please email me the address if you can.

Susan, thanks for the "bump".

Mom, you need to add your "ticker". Stay in touch. Good luck!

I emailed her but haven't heard back yet. It may be tommorow. Are you having any trouble with the diet. I feel like I'm hungry most of the day. Of course it doesn't help that I have to feed my kido's all day. But I'm determined to stay on course. Today was better than yesterday thank goodness.

Lynne, I'm going to the Journey Lite seminar tomorrow in The Woodlands, I believe Dr. Collier will be speaking. How did you get your surgery scheduled so fast? Where is the surgery at? Hopefully your surgery went well yesterday and you're recovering quickly!

txchick, did you go for the seminar? How did you like the dr? I used dr collier, I had surgery on March 13th. I really like him so far. I am still on full liguids, only 3 more days to go!!!!! Lynne and I both had our surgeries at the JourneyLite center in houston. We are both self pay so the process is much faster. As for me, Dr. collier had a cancelation so I went from 1st visit to surgery in 10 days. If I can answer any questions let me know.

Hi - I go to Dr. Collier and I think he is great! I had my surgery done at JourneyLite on November 1st. I love Dr. Collier's PA too, she does all the fills there and she does a sweet fill! I know several people that use them and have heard no complaints.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
