Have you already been approved for the surgery though and just don't have a date? The reason I ask is because a few weeks ago I called and talked to a rep and I asked if we could along receive shakes after the surgery is performed and she said no we can get them before approval for surgery. If this is the case I may apply now

I put this on the wrong forum oopsy

fantastic! Great ya to start a new year. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you!

I think I will cry cry and cry some more before my surgery, come back and tell us how it all goes, I am a pre-sleever so everyone stories are encouraging. Good healing for you!

Yay you, come back and tell us how you are going, here's to an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

You look amazing! Good for you!

Well, I guess you could say I know the general concept of the VSG. I have been lurking around this app for about 3 months. And was doing web searches for about a year, anything related to WLS. But what I find to be the hardest is every Doc/nut is different, for example one of my question that I have written down is rather or not my surgeon places a drain. If he does I don't think I will mind just I feel as though I will have to mental prepare myself. A lot of my concerns are based around my kids. I have 3. With 2 3 and 9 years old. I am concerned about( assuming my surgery goes relatively smooth) how long until I am able to pick my children up. As in like life over in beds and assist with potty duties and bathing. I guess really what I am saying is, is there anything that you didn't ask or forgot to ask, and then you were surprised when something arouse. I maybe be over analyzing this and just see where the cards fall. Thank you for all the responses,

I am going to coming up on a seminar and 1st surgeon visit. I am making a list of question to ask in case it's not covered and I don't leave the appts wishing I had remembered. With that being said, is there anything you wished you had asked or find to be very important to ask for a potential WLS candidate. I am not one just just jump in head first before I make a drastic decision unless I feel well informed. So I would like to have all my bases covered. Help this worry wart!

Thanks!

Or does anyone know of websites that have testimonials for docs, are malpractice suits and such public information?

Hi all, wanting to see if anyone has used these docs. What was your experience ( as a whole) including staff. I have been trying to research these docs online but seems as though I can't find to much. Thanks in advance
