Wondering if anyone has any experience with Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso Oklahoma? Thanks......

Yes Megs, I go in the day before for the egd. What is that like? How long were you drowsy afterwards. I have an appointment later that day with Dr Lewis for the last time.

Make sure that you double check your time and call the office to make sure Dr Kirk has the same time. I was hooked up and everything at the hospital for 4 almost 5 hours before I went back. Coming out of the anesthetic was not bad. I was awake and not drowsy right after

Ok, Thanks Megs. I will call and make sure they have him down for the same time. 4-5 hours is ridiculous. Did you end up with one or two night in the hospital?

If my insurance would pay for my surgery I would definitely go to Dr. Varnell or Dr. Katsis. Since I'm paying cash I'm going to Mexico. I work for Oklahoma Surgical Hospital in Tulsa and dr varnell and dr. Katsis (surgical associates inc.) are part owners and do all of their other surgerys where I work. They are awesome drs and super nice guys also. I do MRI/cat scan/xray and I used to work in the OR and when you work in the OR you get a behind the scenes look at how the docs really are and how they treat the surgery staff and I can say these two docs are top notch and treat others well. Some docs not so much and are really as**oles in the or. Anyone choosing bailey bariatric should know they are in good hands. I hope this helps some people. My name is Joanne and I live in broken arrow and I am getting sleeved on march 2nd by dr. Guillermo Alvarez. Excited but nervous.

Thanks joanne! ! Glad to know I made the right choice. Congrats and good luck on your surgery. Had my insurance not paid I would be going to Mexico too. Please let us know how you are doing. I love talking to all the local people.

Good luck Joanne. I have heard great things about Dr Alvarez on here. Dr Katsis did my surgery on 1/8. He was great

Oklafarmgal how's your diet going? Are you ready?? : )

Had surgery this past thursday. I really didnt think it would set me back like it did. Feeling really weak today, but I know it will get better. Pain has never been an issue. I havent taken pain meds. I will just be glad when I start feeling some kind of normalcy. How long before you got back in the groove?

Well that's awesome you aren't in any pain! Hope you get some energy soon. : )

It took a couple of weeks before I started feeling normal again. Don't over do it. When u feel tired then rest. It will get better especially when u start eating something you don't have to drink

Thanks Megs, I start my protein today, maybe that will help. I'm hanging in there. Any advice you have is greatly appreciated! Thanks again.....

It gets way better. I am so happy that I did it. Yes protein will help. Don't stress if you don't get all your liquids in right now. It gets better. Make sure to take your Vitamins in the morning or you have more of a chance to be up all night. Not real sure why but it happens...
