We have the same doctor. I could not remember how long I needed to wear them. I loved him. My sleeve was 3/10 Sent from my SM-G900R6 using the BariatricPal App

Has anyone's surgeon sent them home with a set of the leg compression cuffs to wear night? Mine did, but I don't know how long I have to use them. My BMI was low enough I didn't need to be put on blood thinners. Sent from my SM-G900R6 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for the information. I never thought about the narcotics slowing things down. I think I will wait.

Hi Everyone. I was wondering if anyone had to have another surgery the same year as their WLS? I was sleeved on 3/10/16 and have a torn meniscus in my left knee that will require surgery? Just wondering how long I will have to wait? Thank you.

My favorite is unjury. It was a lifesaver the 1st week. Sent from my SM-G900R6 using the BariatricPal App

Could everyone please pray for me that everything goes well.

Hi everyone. My sleeve is tomorrow morning and I am so nervous. I know this is going to be the best thing for me and my health. But I am so scared something will go wrong. Is this normal?

TakeitorSleeveit, Can you tell me about your experience with Dr. Houston. I am thinking of using him. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I would be happy to give you my home email or phone number. Thanks,

I was wondering who your surgeon was? I am looking at self pay.

Good luck in Mexico. I have read good things about the doctors there.

Thank you for the information. It is tough picking the right doctor.

Yes it is. Do you have any experience with them? I am looking at Dr. Houston

Has anyone had surgery there? I will be self pay and thinking of going there? They offer complication insurance. Wondering if anyone had any info on the doctors or program?

I had looked into Dr Heider. What type of leak test does he do? Dr weiss in Lexington does an endoscopy before and after surgery to check for leaks.

Ryan, Do you mind me asking how much your surgery cost? Thanks

Hi everyone. I am just starting my journey and looking for a surgeon. I will have to be self-pay because my insurance excludes wls. Any suggestions for a surgeon. I live in KY but am willing to travel to TN, GA, NC, IL, OH.... I also want a surgeon that has insurance against complications. Thank you.

Thank you MissPam for the information. It is so hard to pick the best surgeon and I live in Glasgow so Bowling Green is super convenient for me. I am going to the Decemer seminar so I am really excited. Should have the funds to pay for surgery by February.

Hi everyone. Newbie here. I know I will be self-pay because my insurance excludes WLS. Because of the self-pay, I am only looking at BLIS covered surgeons. I have read many posts that Dr. Weiss is excellent. Can anyone give me feedback on the self-pay cost? How long it takes to get a surgery date? I am also wondering if I have a hiatal hernia would they charge that to insurance and give me a discount to only pay for the sleeve portion of the surgery? Any information anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated. I am 5'3" weigh 278. I have hypertension, pre-diabetic, fatty liver and knee pain. So I really just want to get healthy. Thanks,

I am thinking of going to him. Can you tell me how much the self pay was and how long you had to wait? Thanks
