Got the go ahead from the doctor today. Calling the surgery scheduler tomorrow.

Woohoo!!

Looking Good!!!

Dr. Nicholson is also my doctor. I'm self-pay so I think that has a lot to with why I was scheduled here. I had my EGD done here 2 weeks ago. No problems. Great staff. Very clean. I know quite a few other baratric surgeons was this center such as Dr. Jay.

Just checking in. Thank you for everybody's support. I had my EGD waiting on the office to get back to me with a follow up. I should have called them since they are closed all week for spring break. ???? But I can't wait to get my surgery.

Thank you! This is a great answer I love it!!! I don't want anyone to know cuz it's only my business and I work with a bunch of gossiping, backstabbing ladies. They will just be nasty and rude. I'm not sure if I want to tell my boss!

That's awesome! Had my EGD. I have a large hernia so that explains acid reflux and stuff. Now I just got wait for them to do a follow up and get this ball rolling in the right direction.

Mariah, you are such an inspiration. Tomorrow I get my EGD done. And I was just sitting here thinking do I really want to go though with this(vsg)? And then I see you pictures & stats and I say, "yes I do"!!

Thanks for the encouragement babbs. I appreciate it. I mostly worry about not being able to enjoy time with the family the same way. Food or alcohol has been the center of our everything. But I am ready.

Hi everybody! I have just started on the journey. I'm 33. I live in Texas. My SW is 271. ???? can't believe I just told everyone that. My surgeon is Dr. Nicholson in Dallas/Plano. I'm self-pay. I have my EGD on Monday to see if I have a hernia. I have always been obese my entire life. In high school I was about 175. I didn't like my weight back then but if only I could go back to those days!!! I have got close a couple of times but then regained it back with a few more. So now I'm here! I continue to go back and back about everything. I researched this to death. I quit smoking 6 months ago just so I would be able to have the procedure. (It took me 4 months to get the nerve to call the surgeons office & 20-25lbs of quitting weight). I have a wonderful friend that had the gastric bypass and encourages me everyday with exercise and answers all my questions. My mom supports me in this in journey and a semi-supportive husband(he doesn't talk much so it's kinds of hard to know). But I know if I don't do it, right now is the best it going to be! Meaning I know I'm headed for more joint pain, developing diabetes, heart problems, depression, more weight and bigger sizes! ❤️Thank you for all of the inspiration/stories/& answers on this site. ❤️

Congrats! You look amazing!
