I'm waiting for my psychological evaluation results and we will submit to insurance. Dr. Juarez is doing my revision. Everyone at Bridges and St. Luke's hospital is really nice and helpful. Loving it so far.

Hi Lolarose,

I'm restarting the process in May but will be having Dr. Juarez as well.

I met with him last year and didn't finish because I chickened out and said I would take a year to seriously lose weight but a year came and went and nothing changed so now I'm back and fully committed. You are way ahead of me, I still have to do blood work and begin seeing a nutritionist for the next 3 months. I know they will fly by though so I'm not sweating it. Good luck!

Newbie here. I have resisted the idea of surgery for years, but over the last year have been super curious. Have my first appointment on the 25th at TrueResults and making another appointment at Banner in Gilbert. Insurance has been verified and I just want to get this done! I am hoping to do it right around Christmas.

@@SusanB55 how are you & your husband recovering?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi!! Doing well! Hubby is down 18 lbs since may 2, and I had my first post op today. Only 6 lbs tho. Had my first day of soft foods too. How are you doing?

My post op was rough. I had a lot of pain, worse than previous band surgeries. Dr Monash said that it was a big surgery doing the band removal plus sleeve and hiatal hernia repair at one time. I concur because I FELT it lol!

That's great @SusanB55. I have my second set of nut & med supervised weight loss appointments later this week. We both did our sleep studies last week & unfortunately I had a terrible allergic reaction to the Medipore tape used, but I'm much better now. I'm trying to be patient & read & plan as much as I can before surgery but I wish it was surgery time already! Well keep up the good work & congrats!!

Hi Heidi!

I'm having my surgery at St. Luke's Medical Center as well! I just got approved a couple days ago, so hopefully I will get schedule on Tuesday. Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr. Juarez. How is your pre-diet going?

Best wishes!

I had my surgery at St. Luke's last year 6/25/15 with Dr. Fang. Start weight was 278 (260 on day of surgery), now maintaining at 153 lbs--I'm almost 5'10 so this puts me in a size 6-8. I never met Dr. Juarez but have heard good things about him. Good luck to both of you with your upcoming surgeries!

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
