Who is doing your surgery??

Hi, Amy!

I am going to use Dr. Bledsoe in Alexandria if my surgery ever gets approval. My insurance company threw a wrench in my plans for the 9th. Everything has been turned in again. Are you from Anacoco as well?

Hi CherylA...Dr Bledsoe is my surgeon as well. Luckily I've been approved for may 7. Are you going to use the support group?

leigh1111, do you go to the support group ? I try to attend them on a regular basis at Cabrini

I haven't had a chance to go yet but I would like to. Do you go?

They even charged 25.00 to complete my FMLA for work. Ugg. How r u doing and what are your numbers

Hmmm. This concerns me. I've had good experience so far. But am not that into it yet. I don't have a strong opinion either way bout my selected surgeon. If it turns into an issue, I will go elsewhere.

I'm doing better the last few days but Monday I went to my primary care because I wasn't feeling good and she sent me to hospital to get 2 bags Hiv Fluid. I lost 20 lbs first week and this second weak I've only lost 2 lbs.

Hello everyone, I'm 35y/o single with no kids. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2000, Sciatica 2006, Fibromyalgia 2009, and Sleep Apnea 2011. I have been researching and thinking very hard about getting bariatrics surgery. I'm currently at my heaviest, 255 lbs, and now my bp is elevated. I would love to have kid(s) one day SOON, but not with all these health issues. I just need some guidance with this. My doctors tell me to lose weight, but having PCOS is a challenge.
