Any Oklahoma Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Thanks, I don't think I can say I have loved every minute since I was sleeved but I am losing so I am very happy. I am just finding it hard to get used to eating so little. But my sleeve definitely lets me know when its full!

Yes. I thankfully have had no problems since surgery. Stress test wasn't bad. And I already had a sleep test done. It makes a world of difference if you have apnea and use the machine I love mine but I have been off of it for about 3 months and I am sleeping great. Don't stress... Tests are not a deal breaker just want to make sure they know what is going on

Thank you, thank you! You have eased my mind and calmed my nerves. In just ready for the surgery!!!!! I can not wait to have a date set!!!!!!

Ladybug, I am also going thru Bailey in Owasso :) My surgeon is Dr. Katsis and I'm hoping for a July surgery. I know a few people who have went thru Bailey as well; two of them had Dr. Varnell and absolutely loved him.

Battgirl... I am getting my sleeve done at St Johns also. Did you mean Dr. Arroyo? That's who

I am seeing. Did you like him? My last NUT appt is June 24. Then hopefully United Healthcare will hurry up and do their thing, and I can have my surgery in July. How are you doing? Happy?

Yes Dr. Arroyo I just love him! I also have United Healthcare and they paid for my surgery. I am doing great losing about 2 to 3 pounds a day♡ One of my incisions is still really sore. I go Tuesday for my 2 week post op so I am going to talk to him about that then. It is so exciting I hope you get your date soon. Keep in touch and ask me anything. This hasn't been easy but very worth it so far!

Ladybug, I'm not sure what the two day stress test is. My stress test was just a treadmill test that took a half hour or so. They also did a heart ultrasound that day before they put me on the treadmill. The only thing that took more than a few hours for me was the sleep apnea test, which was overnight of course.

Oh my, that really worries me! Lol. I hate to talk about doctors on here, but did you ever have any issues with Worley? It seems like I can never reach anyone in the office to answer questions. My last test is the sleep study and its not even scheduled. In so excited about surgery and really want it scheduled. Just wondering?!?!?

I've had no issues but everything that was scheduled was done through Bailey not the individual Dr's

That's what I thought too. I talked to Kirks office today and she told me to call Worley. She said they should schedule the study. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
