What I like about Mezt/Brown is that they include nutritionists and physcologists, also they have support goups every third Wednesday. The PA's do my fills. I am especially fond of Allison, this week she spent 1/2 hour talking to me about my hormone issues and always is happy and friendly. After going to my doctor yesterday, I learned that she was right on with figuring out what was wrong with me, without seeing the blood work that the doctor drew.

Most people are happy with who ever they pick, but you do want to know that you are important and that they give you the time and attention you need.

I was banded in Mexico by dr ortiz, the last thing they told me before going under was "This is a place of God and of healing!"

I would be happy to answer any questions that you have.

I had surgery with Dr. Tillquist last june and had a great experience with the surgery. I did experience frustration initially when I was trying to get insurance approval. It seemed to take a long time to get it submitted 7 weeks or so. I was denied and then decided to self pay. I submitted an appeal and my insurance is going to reimburse me so it all worked out.

Dr Tillquist is not the best! My almost killed my mom by putting hole in her bowel. He missed it four three days on the day he was sending her home I ask the nurse to call another Dr and he took one look at her and took her back into surgry. They saved her but she was in coma for 45 days. My mom lost over 100 lbs and said she would do it all agine. I am having lab band done in a few weeks Dr Brown him and support staff are great.

      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.
