Where are the Mississippi Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I'm REALLY just starting the process...going to Dr. Vicks seminar on May 13th. I have to wait until my baby turns a year (May 5th) since they don't want to do surgery on someone who's just had a baby. I'm from Clinton and so I plan on having surgery at UMC with Dr Vick... partially because I work at UMC and am familiar with everything there. Anyone use him? I've been reading everyone's posts and am excited to get started. I've even talked to my insurance already and I definitely meet their criteria. :-)

Hi there. I'm from Pearl, MS. I'm going through this process now. I am awaiting approval from my insurance company. If, no, when I am approved, I will have my surgery at the Baptist Hospital.

I was born and raised in Greenville Ms. Sleeved in Atlanta Ga on 12/2/14

Doing great but at a stall right now. Ugh

Congrats to all the newcomers

All these post seem to be from 2014. I'm hoping to have surgery by the end of July or first of August 2015. I live in Morton, Ms About 30 minutes east of Jackson. I have to go to Oxford for my surgery because state insurance only pays in Oxford, Tupelo, and Pascagoula. Hope to hear from some 2015 sleevers. I am also 64 years old. Would also like to hear from people my age. Glad I found you Ms people.

I'm almost thru month 1 or 6 months with Activ Health (a diet counselor by phone) required by my insurance. I'm hoping to have my surgery around Thanksgiving at UMC. They are supposed to be getting bariatric surgery accredited in July.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
