It got to be some Arkansas sleevers out there.

Also have Health Advantage and the process was easy. Dr Baker's office submitted my paper work on the 25th had an approval 4 days later. The 6 month requirement was the hardest.

Good luck with your surgery. Keep me updated. I am sure I will have lots of questions for you.

What Dr did you use at Behaviorial Managment?

How much weight did you lose on the 6 month diet? Did you use Dr Baker's nutritionist for the 6 months diet?

Thanks. I live in Pine Bluff so I used a Dr here (dr.hunt) I lost 20 lbs total, 13 came from the 14 day liquid diet.I used a health coach through health advantage and my pcp for the 6 month diet. My pcp got upset with me because I wasn't loosing weight, I guess I was waiting on the sleeve I will keep u posted.

I'm from Jonesboro. Sleeved on July 23rd. Down 45 pounds.

Congrats! That is awesome? Did you have your surgery in Jonesboro? What has been the hardest thing for you?

Thanks I will give them a call. I have Health Advantage State/School Employee insurance. I am using Dr. Baker.

Would you mind tell me what Dr. you used at Behavioral Health Management?

I don't remember he was old and had white and grey hair lol. That appointment was 2 hrs long the test itself was an 1 1/2 long so be ready. Dr. Baker is a great Dr too you will not regret it. I had to be on the 6 month diet too it went by pretty quick my surgery is on the 29th.

Good morning, sorry I'm just updating, just been tired. My experience was good, and I know u will be glad u selected Dr. Baker. I honestly did not have severe pain and no gas or nausea at all. He take preventive measures before u go in suirgery to get a head start on this. Just before surgery he gave me an injection of Pepcid and Ragland (spelling).

I had a hernia repaired that I did not know I had. Today is day six and I able to get liquids in,still struggling with the Protein that takes some creativity with been restriced to full liquids for the next week.

Only concern I'm having now is these chills! I have chills all day and cannot get enough cover to get warm.no fever so that's good.

I did weigh this morning couldn't resist down to 277 from 280 day of surgery on 10/10.

I'm glad you are doing well. I have read that the chills happen but go away after a while. One person said they had to put a blanket between her teeth because they wouldn't stop chattering.

Please keep me updated. I am so excited to have this surgery I have everything turned in and done except the losing weight.

I'm in Jonesboro! Originally from the central part of the state. Sleeved on June 25 down 59#!

Birthygirl that is so awesome. Tell me about your experience since you had the surgery. Was the 1st month or 2 really hard?

I used Dr. Baker as well. I'm almost 3 weeks out. So far I am very happy with the results. I've never been able to eat so little in my life and not feel deprived.

Hi

Iam using dr baker as well that's great your happy!!! How was the staff on getting all your paperwork together? What insurance did you have? How much did you have to pay Dr.Baker? So sorry to bug I just got my approval letter yesterday and waiting on Courtney to set a date.

Thanks,

Rosa

I am using Dr. Baker. Courtney set me up with a date to see Dr. Baker and a surgery date, the first time I saw her. My date with Dr. Baker is April 9th and my surgery date is May 6th. I have jumped through all the hoops (blood work, talking to a nurse coach once a month, meeting with Courtney once a month,etc). I just need the official "You are approved". I am a bit nervous about the surgery, but I am so excited to lose this weight and not be able to eat so much food.

Do you mind me asking why so far out for your surgery date? I know that feeling for the approval I had to wait as well since I had to wait for my new insurance.
