Hi jwwood1985 I'm having gastric bypass with Dr bessler on the 4th of august I'm nervous

August 4 is my day

I received my surgery date for July 7th which obviously I have to change because I can't take that time off I will follow up with my surgeon on the 23rd of June we will discuss changing the date I am excited and nervous all at the same time

Hi Molly - how are you feeling ? Did u have sleeve or bypass?

Hi BKlyN I'm still waiting on my insurance to approve my surgery what insurance do you have?? and how long did it take for them to approve your surgery ??good luck by the way super excited for you my surgeon is also Dr Marc Bessler

Hi molly with what Dr?? Good luck I'm excited for u

Had my psych appointment TODAY !! My last appointment they will submit all my paperwork / results to insurance crossing my fingers for approval

Congrats !!!!!

Dr Marc Bessler from Columbia Presbyterian I've heard of Dr fielding I have a question for u when you had your psych appointment did the psychiatrist approve you right away? or did you numerous sessions before approval?

Hi rose43 I'm in the process of having my gastric bypass at new york-presbyterian with Dr bessler I have not gotten a surgery date but I am in the middle of having the insurance aprove it

Thanks james for the support ,how did your surgery go? how much weight did you lose?

Thank you so much for the great advice I'm going with gastric bypass and not with the sleeve because it will worsen my Gerd My surgeon worked with DR Oz and made an appearance on his show I did a lot of research on bariatric surgery in General I've been looking into this surgery for about 7 years now and finally came to a point in my life that I knew I could not lose weight on my own I definitely need professional help and I know it's not an easy fix it a life changing experience and life style change I've been on a diet now for 2 weeks eating healthy portion control etc I received a clean bill of health from my primary care doctor I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy done last week Thursday and that also came out normal but I have been feeling some discomfort still around the belly area

No I haven't I'm new to this I'm using my phone how can I find search engine

I've had all of my pre surgery exam and everything came out normal like endoscopy colonoscopy my blood work etc but still feel very nervous and worried I'm terrified of having complications I don't really have any medical issues thank God but I am battling PCOS I have acid reflex also known as GERD and wanted to have the Gastric Sleeve versus having gastric bypass which is more complicated procedure but found out recently that gastric sleeve would only worsen my GERD have any of you had any complications?? I was following a young lady on Instagram who had her gastric bypass and in Mexico and recently died 2 weeks ago because of complications I guess that's what freaks me out the most and there was another young lady who formed blood clogs in her intestines and had to have half of her large intestines removed ughhh I am so close to having my insurance approve my surgery I am actually waiting on my last appointment which would be with the psych my primary doctor already cleared me for surgery he also faxed all my results to my surgeon so I'm pretty much ready to go

Thank you I can use all the support I can get I appreciate you
