I need to. They won't schedule until I go to one. At first I wasn't real thrilled about going to one, but now I think I need to. It will help keep me accountable.

I'm the same way. I will more than likely go to this one and see what it's like. Who knows...maybe I'll end up liking it and having fun. LOL

Did any of you ladies have to have biopsies when they did the gastric scope? They did 3 biopsies on me yesterday and my insides are still on fire and it burns to breath. Is that normal or am I just being a big baby?

Ok thanks. I just need to deal with it lol. But it has scared me. If I hurt this much now, then how hard is the actual surgery going to be?!? I'm starting to get cold feet.

did you happen to ask them why they needed the biopsies? Might have seen some pollups (sp.) or something. Who knows but i'm sure it's fine if you haven't heard anything from them.

Oh and btw...haven't had a dip since Wednesday at 5:00pm!!! So going on 48 hours tobacco free. :)

Good job! Im proud of you. Yeah, they were polyps. I've just been nauseous since Tuesday morning and it hurts to breath. I'm just getting anxious I guess.

I called the place in Owasso and they wanted a lot of money and it was 3 months to get in. I didn't want to wait 3 months. i wanted to get it done ASAP so I'd look good for spring

I also tried a place in Dallas but they were too much.

I ended up going to Mexico and having it done. I saved a ton and it was a great experience. I see the billboard on 169 all the time when I'm heading into Tulsa from Owasso for Bailey. I just say yep, I've had that done.

I've thought about going to Mexico but just can't bring myself to go there even though it's about $10,000 cheaper. My friends forbid me going there lol. I want the doctors to be close by just in case something goes wrong after the surgery.

I did mine on October 22.

Do your friends run your life or you? sorry that sounds bad, but its a good question.

Id suggest having surgery in Mexico for $3299.00 as advertised on this website and then having a Dr. at home follow up with you. With the money you save, you'll be able to afford the dr. with no problem.

When I got my surgery, I didn't care what my friends thought. I'm the one who is having the surgery done and it was my choice. I did it for me and my health.

LOL I plan on doing the surgery, I was unsure of going to Mexico and when I ran it past a few friends, they were all against it, so I decided to do it here. Mexico just isn't right for me. I've also read up and most doctors don't want to deal with another surgeons surgery especially in Bariatrics. Do you have any regrets or issues with your surgery?

No issues and no regrets. All is well. My incisions have healed. I'm active as ever.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
