Just wondering if anyone in the Oklahoma area has used Bailey Bariatrics in Owasso and has or is having the VSG and what their experience is/was? I am set for my first appointment with Dr. Kirk on 11/17 and am a little bit nervous and a lot excited. I'm self-pay so I think the process is a bit easier but just wanting to get some idea of what to expect...any help is appreciated!

How's everyone doing? I've been very bad the last few weeks and not eating what I should be eating. His is so much harder than I had imagined. Anyone else having difficulty eating right? Anyone have any suggestions or will give me a kick in the ass for being stupid?? I didn't go through all of this to start making poor choices and get fat again. ????

All of my paperwork is being submitted to my insurance company. I'm praying that I get approved. Everyone wish me luck.

Ugh, I've been struggling too. I've been stuck at the same weight for about a month, which makes it even harder to stay motivated to eat right! Starting today, I'm getting back to basics - only focusing on protein and no carbs! We can do this!

Please take advantage of the first 6 months after surgery when weight loss is the most, it really does slow down after that. If your having problems in the first 6 months, take a step back, think about why you did this, what you want out of this, and make the changes you and only you have to make, to make it work. Yes, we can do this!! I've got 10 lbs to go to lose 100 total, definitely want to get there before my 1 year in Sept.

Who all is going to the conference on Saturday?

Anyone of recently going to Baileys Bariatric in Owasso oklahoma?

I’m not recent, I had surgery 3/4/15 but if you have any questions, I’ll answer them.

I am using Bailey’s and have surgery scheduled for 6/13.

Mine is the 13th too if it’s still happening. Who is your surgeon? And how are you doing on your two week diet?

Ty so much. Right now the diet before hand is killing me and my surgery might be canceled because I messed up. Will find out Monday.

Twins! My diet is going ok. I’ve slipped a little bit with a few bites. I’m with Dr. Cole. Are you second guessing having surgery?

I’m with him as well mine is supposed to be at 6am. No not all but I really cheated and I called the dr office and talked to the nurse this afternoon. I explained what happened and she said she didn’t know if he would still accept that and let the surgery happen

I don’t have a surgery time scheduled yet, they said they would call the day before to let me know what time. I do preop testing on Monday.

I hope he still lets the surgery happen, for your sake. Have you gained weight ? I haven’t lost but a couple pounds and I’m scared they will think I haven’t being following the diet. If you ever need to talk or a distraction from this awful preop diet, feel free to message me.

My prep as long as it is still happening is Tuesday at 9.

They gave me the time early since we don’t live in Owasso.

Ty I appreciate it same for you too I’m always on here since I found this site a few days ago.

We have the strictest diet I have found in comparison to others.

I have actually lost 20lbs even with my big slide.

Yeah I live about 2 1/2 hours from Owasso as well. That’s awesome that you’ve lost 20 pounds. Surely that should count for something!!!

I agree it does seem this is one of the strictest diets I’ve seen on here.
