I live in okc and just curious if there are any other Oklahoma sleevers on this site.

Had my EGD on Monday, which was my last requirment. It went well. Scheduled to see my surgeon on 10/16 and hope to have my actual surgery date by end of October / first of November. I have Medicare so I did not have to have the 6 month nutrition classes. So super excited. Getting so anxious, a little nervous about infections but I have faith that everything will be fine.

It really does get exciting,plus a little nerve racking right before your surgery. I was lucky, they called me on a Friday and said they had an opening for the following Tuesday so I didn't have very much time to worry . I'm sure your surgery will go great, just do everything they tell you to do and you'll do good.

Thanks Sherrie. I don't have a spleen so I'm very prone to infections. But I have in my Doctor s and hospital.

New to the group. I'm in Oklahoma and was sleeved 12-18-13.

Dr Hamilton Le did my surgery and it went fantastic. All of the staff are so wonderful and helpful. They have support groups that meet at Baptist hospital. Go to his website to get more info.

I was off a total of 10 days. Never had any problems just felt a little bit tired the first week back. When did you have your surgery?

I'm waiting for approval now. They are saying mid November.

I was off about ten days also. I could have gone back sooner not much pain at all but you will be really tired. Good luck. Who's your doctor?

Dr Hamilton Le

I went to weight wise up in Edmond with dr Walton, they have support groups too, it's a good place to learn a lot about sleeve life

Dr Walton is my doctor. I love my patient advocate, Tori. I've emailed her just about daily and she's been so supportive.

Definitely feel like I made the right choice in clinic and Dr!

Received my approval today.

Yay! It's like a weight lifted off your shoulders, huh? :-)

I have so many thoughts. I'm excited, and nervous.
