The dr and physicians assistant have been great. Scheduling was very difficult not because the lack of availability or because prerequisites weren’t fulfilled but because the staff didn’t seem to have their stuff in line. Unfortunately my first surgery was scheduled on October 25th, went in day if surgery after 3 weeks of liquid only and they said that the insurance didn’t approve, they scheduled it for a hospital that was in network and again on November 2nd the day of surgery they said the insurance didn’t approve, when I called the insurance with the dr office present the insurance insisted that the stuff was never submitted, after being on the phone for 2 hours with the insurance we finally got an approval so 2 hours late I ended up going in for surgery. Other than all this there were no complaints or complications so far. It’s currently December 9th and I’ve already lost over 30 lbs
In oct of 2015 i got a gastoric sleeve procedure done. At firat i was so against it thinking to myself that this is a cheating way out but it seemed that my love for food made it hard to commit to strict dieting. So i went for it. I absolutely love the new me. The pro was i love myself and feel so much better the con was my ex husband of 20 yrs insecurities got the best of him and divorced me 6 months after surgery. He couldnt take the fact that i was getting attention and turning heads. I learned in counseling that this could happen and i always thought after 20 yrs we must be atrong enough to get through it but that all crashed down on me. Even though the dark times have taught me alot about myself. I am happy now and feel great about myself. I dont have too much extra skin but do have saggy inner thieghs and chicken wings. Those are the only self conscious thing i dont like to show. But theres plenty of cute outfits now to accommodate that. Feel free to ask me questions and i am very comfortable talking about it...
