Hello my name is Tammy I am scheduled for August 24! I would love to connect with you and share our concerns and our small victories that are already happening as we prepare for this lifelong journey. Wishing you nothing but good luck and wonderful days ahead

Hello, I’m scheduled for an ESG With plication on Aug 9 and I’m looking forward to it but also very nervous. So I feel the same @Connie88. The liquid diet portion weighs heavily on my mind. I’m a big coffee drinker so not drinking coffee for awhile is going to be a huge adjustment.

I’m scheduled for my ESG with plication on August 9th! I’m excited but also nervous. As I’m going through the paperwork and making sure I have everything prepared , I noticed no Peanut Butter is allowed , even after the 45 day mark? I live on peanut butter and coffee lol. I will do whatever it takes but was just wondering if I’m going to have to learn to live without the 2?

Thank you. I am self pay too and every facility/ hospital I called I let them know that but still zero luck. I will check out Journeylite as well!! I hope you are doing well and are pleased with with the results 😊

Hello. Thanks for responding. Yes, I’ve tried multiple hospitals in MA, NY and Then Florida who all told me I was not qualified because my BMI was below 35. The only place I could find that would do it was Oliak Center in CA. if you don’t mind me asking, where did you have it done? I’d greatly appreciate it.

I have a borderline BMI OF 34.5 and struggled to find a surgeon who would perform a Gastric sleeve. I live in MA but the only one who would perform this is Dr Oliak in CA? Just wondering if anyone has had surgery with him ? Good or bad?

Thank you lizonaplane and learn2cook!!!! I truly appreciate this information!!

Forgive the typos! I didn’t have my glasses lol

Hello. I’m looking for a surgeon in New Wngland or semi close by who performs Gastric Sleeves on those with a BMI of 34. I’d appreciate any input that anyone could give!!! Thank you in advance 😊
