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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
