Anyone in Phoenix having surgery 3/21 or around then?



Recommended Posts

I just finished week one of the pre-op diet and now just have only one week till I have the sleeve done. I just wanted to see if anyone else was getting it done around when I am in the Phoenix area.

Hi David!

How was the surgery? How was your surgeon? I'm looking to going to Bridges for a consultation and I was wondering how was your experience with them.

I had Dr. Juarez and he was good. I only saw him twice before surgery and twice after. The surgery was fine, the waking up was not what I expected it was my first time having surgery. So far they have been very nice and seem to really care. A friend of mine also got a sleeve from Dr. Juarez and only had good things to say. They have classes you have to go to and that will help you get to know the place better. Good luck I am feeling pretty good and don't miss food at all. I have lost 4 lbs from Monday, so it has been coming off fast.

I went to the evaluation the first week of January and they called a few days later to tell me what I needed to do. I got all the paperwork and psychological evaluation and insurance approved in two days. So in short about 2 and half months from start to finish.

That's not bad at all I'm waiting for all my paperwork to come in so the patient advocate can turn it in and I hopefully get approved ! I'm attending the first class on the 5th . she said we are aiming for may but it could be June I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. But how are you feeling ? How much are you down ? Are you in a lot of pain ? Have you noticed a change in anything

I feel great! I was sore the first week but the pain meds help that. Since the surgery I have lost 18 lbs and my cloths are falling off. I hope your insurance comes through fast. Mine only took a day or so but I might have been lucky.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
