My husband and I are still in the process of getting the VSG surgery. I was wondering if there is anyone who has had it that is in the Waco, Texas area? I would like to find some other people who have had the surgery or are like us that are still working on getting there. Thanks! :)

Hi! I am from Decatur, Tx not to far from Waco :) I am scheduled for Aug 19th for my sleeve. I am using Dr. Stowers with My Bariatric Solutions in Decatur. Have y'all found a surgeon yet??

Yes, I know right where Decatur is. I grew up in Newark/Rhome area. How funny! We have an appt with the office to discuss everything. I am hoping to have the surgery around Christmas time. I am a school teacher and hate to wait til next summer to do it. We are going to be going to the Scott and White hospital in Temple. My husband and I are both planning on have the VSG done. So are you excited that your surgery is coming up soon?

Oh cool, small world! Are you both wanting to have surgery at the same time? Yes I am so excited! I am a little nervous though, because this will be my first surgery to go under. But when I get nervous I just think about the outcome and I'm excited again!

My husband will be having the surgery first, possibly Sept/Oct. This will be my first major surgery, had wisdom teeth out, but nothing this invasive. I know what you mean about the outcome and getting excited again. I have been making a list of all the things I want to do after I lose the weight. I get so excited when I think about it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
