Thanks for the quick reply. I love this forum.

If my insurance would pay for my surgery I would definitely go to Dr. Varnell or Dr. Katsis. Since I'm paying cash I'm going to Mexico. I work for Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa and dr varnell and dr. Katsis (surgical associates inc.) are part owners and do all of their other surgerys where I work. They are awesome drs and super nice guys also. I do MRI/cat scan/xray and I used to work in the OR and when you work in the OR you get a behind the scenes look at how the docs really are and how they treat the surgery staff and I can say these two docs are top notch and treat others well. Some docs not so much and are really as**oles in the or. Anyone choosing bailey bariatric should know they are in good hands. I hope this helps some people. My name is Joanne and I live in broken arrow and I am getting sleeved on march 2nd by dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Excited but nervous.

I'm only telling people I work closely with because I'm taking 3 weeks off and they will wonder where I've been. I couldn't lie and say it was something else.

That is so true I never thought of that (the more ammunition we give people the more they use it)

I think it's better that you are doing it when you are young.. I am 44 and getting sleeved on march 2nd. After I recover I will probably wish I had done it a long time ago. I am 5'5" and weigh 220 so people always says I don't need the surgery but they don't know how many times I've gained and lost in my life. I have probably lost a whole other human being by now. My husband is so supportive because he is the only one who knows the true me and has seen my struggle with food for the past 20 years. My boss is the only one who knows I am having a sleeve. I couldn't lie to him. Everyone else thinks I am getting a lap band. I am going to dr Alvarez in Mexico. People would freak if they knew I was going to Mexico. They are just ignorant. Don't let others discourage you. We are all here for you because we are you. No one understand overeating like we all do. People who don't struggle like we do don't get it.

I am getting sleeved my dr. Alvarez on March 2nd

Can't wait to get rid of my granny panties.

I am getting sleeved in Mexico by dr Alvarez on march 2nd. I live in broken arrow Oklahoma.

Good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes. I wish I was doing it tomorrow.

I'm getting sleeved by dr Alvarez on march 2 nd. I live in broken arrow. I'm paying cash that's why I'm going to him. Some drs in Tijuana were cheaper but I didn't feel as comfortable with them. I'm glad yours went well, how are you doing now.

March 2nd with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico.
