    6 Month Surgiversary

    I also have a ring around my espaghous Nissan procedure. After going thru all the steps I was told by physicians in Memphis Tn I would not be able to have the surgery. I was told that perhaps I could have the surgery at Vanderbilt hospital in Nashville tn. I'm on a fixed income and there's no guarantee they will be able to do the surgery Please if anyone knows anything I could please let me know. I finished all my pre op steps. I told my patient advocate that I shouldn't start my pre op diet for my liver. Before hand I was told my surgery would be in late September early October.
  2. Congrats to all the sleevers. I was told in June of this year I was approved for the sleeve. I went thru ALL of the steps. Classes dr appt etc. At the end of everything I was expecting to be in surgery late September early n October. On my last consult I was told I was not a candidate for laparoscopic because of two mesh repairs. I'm in Memphis tn. No dr in Memphis will do an open cut. I was referred to Nashville Tn. I'm disabled and don't have the funds nor transportation. I'm so diss appointed its unreal. Sorry for the long text. Just venting. .....SMH

    I Got My Surgery Date

    Thanks so much for replying. I thought I would be getting sleeved much faster....especially when the patient advocate told me my surgery was approved ugh!!! I have to have 6 months of paper work from dr stating my weight etc. since I was seeing my dr already for the weight gain she was able to go back to April. Yeah !!!! So I've got July , August , and September. My consult with my nut is in August. I hope maybe they will speed it up lol.

    I Got My Surgery Date

    Ok just got from dr appt Has anyone gotten the sleeve with mesh already in. I had my one on one with the dr and he said since I've had 2 hernia repairs he may not be able to do the sleeve. Has anyone experienced this.

    I Got My Surgery Date

    Thanks sooooo much guys! I've been praying for this for long. I got a phone call saying I was approved. I haven't told the drs which procedure I would like.... But after researching the sleeve procedure that's what I want. This is a good support forum.

    I Got My Surgery Date

    Hi Im glad I found this site! I got approved... But I don't see the surgeons till the 6th. I've already got a phyc who I've been seeing. Anyone know if I'll have to see her again? Also will the surgeon give me a date? I'm nervous, but I'm tired of this weight and people that I know personally asking me if I'm pregnant. Sigh
