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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
