  14. November 26 and im so happy. I met my surgeon today i asked him a ton of question and he didnt just asnweer them he elavorated on every single answer. I felt very good abot him. I specially asked him wat he does to prevent leaks, he said he uses reinforcement on the spaples he uses. No deaths, no leaks, 85% sucess rate. He even told me that he treats patients that come from other hospital. I feel good

  19. Well im 23 yrs old 5'8 251lbs bmi 38 i have obstructive sleep apnea I go to st. Lukes theyve done thousands of surgeries. With dr teixeira hes the head of the bariatric dept. He teaches other bariatric surgeons in other contries how to perform minimally imbasive bariatric surgery surgery. When i spoke to him he said patients come to him from other docs to get complications fixed and hes had no leaks so far. U can watch him perform a gatric bypass on the internet google julio texeira bariatric surgery. Ive been doin this since feb but i had stop bc of personal reasons. But i estimate it to 6 months top to do everything . I saw the nutritionist the first day along with blood and ekg. Most test are done st the hospital. Yea pcp gave me a referal and then i made an apt but u pick ur doc.this was wat i did. The group meating are good if ur thinkin i think u should go to one. If its cuz of metroplus they cover it n if u have wat they need theyll approve. U kno some docs dont show their faces on internet or u cant find them those r the once i dont want.
  20. Im 5'8 and im 251 lbs and im in the process of getting approved for vsg. Even though im in the 38 bmi i have obstructive sleep apnea which is not good. I dont want to die at 23. Ive also tryed to loose it with diets but comes back and then some. Im tierd of being tierd and achy. Its true it is a life change and is better early because my life will be easier withought 100 pounds.
