Is anyone here in the San Antonio area & going through the Methodist Metropolitan Weight Loss Center???

My Dr is leaving at the end of June & IDK what to do. I am hoping to be scheduled for my Gastric Sleeve by June 22nd ish.

Do I change Doctors so I have the same one through Post Op etc...?

Or keep the one I currently have??

I wish I could say I was that excited. I feel racked with guilt and nerves and just don't feel as happy as I feel I should be.
I'm going to try and upload it. One sec

Why do you feel guilty? You deserve this!!! I understand the nerves but everything will be perfect.

Because it's expensive and I'm a cash pay customer. I feel like I'm taking from my kids. I know it's not logical but I just feel so bad. Like I could have done better and didn't wait until sh*t htf before I decided it was too late

Lem23 when you see him next, tell him he's famous! Let me know how it goes. He's super nice. I cried and he was very supportive. And wasn't irritated at all

LOL I will I can't wait to meet him. Everyone says the same things about him, he is soooo nice. He has 5 stars on google which is amazing

I can understand that, but just think of it as you are making sure you get healthy for their futures.

Haha that's why I chose him. His team is super nice as well. Normally I feel awkward and judged in places but not there. They were all so nice. It seems like a good place to work too

It makes sense it's just hard. Everyone is freaked out over a surgery (does not phase me one bit) I feel like I'm going to die when I sleep lol so idk. Haha I'm so dramatic omg!

I have had so many surgical procedures for my back, surgery does not scare me. I just had a procedure done every other week for 6 weeks and each time I was put under. I am more scared for my consultation and if he is going to make me complete any requirements prior to scheduling my surgery. I really want to get the surgery ASAP. I want to lose enough weight that I wont be embarrassed to go back to Florida for Thanksgiving. I want them to be shocked LOL Now who is dramatic LMAO

Like height/ weight? I'm 5'0 220 [emoji24] are you using insurance? He said If you're not it goes way faster. I was just able to call and schedule because of that

Do you have family in Florida. That is actually where my husband and I are from. So we go back every Thanksgiving to see everyone.

CRAZY- I am 5'0" too, I weigh 199 lbs. I am going through insurance. I asked my insurance company if they had any requirements in order to have the surgery and they said no. So I am hoping he doesn't require me to do anything either.
