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!

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?

No biopsies done on me so not sure whats up with that.

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.

you are and it seems like you're trying to find excuses to back out of it...so stop it!!! LOL

Lol I know. I just need a slap to the head.

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.

When did you do 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.

That's great. Did you have to do the two week pre surgery diet of sugar free carnation instant breakfast, sugar free Popsicles and sugar free jello? Yuck, this is going to be horrible.
