50 Year Old from Starville Ms Much Needed Change. Tupelo, MS

Hello to everyone, I've been on this site for about three months. I've followed a lot of you guy's stories. I to have a story too I've been over weight for the past fifteen years. The older I get the more it piles on, it's time for a change. I've been looking into weightloss surgery for about two years and finally decided it was time. Now the time has come to decide which facility to have it at. Has anyone ever dealt with Belite or North Mississippi Medical Center if I choose Belite I can have my surgery sooner but the down side is I have to fly to Las Vegas but if I get sick from surgery I won't have a doctor. On the other hand if I go with NMMC I'll have unlimited support but I won't be able to have the surgery till next year. If anyone has dealt with Belite please let me know about your experience please.

Well I had said that I was going with Belite bummer they have all these hidden cost that I just can't afford. So I have to stick to my original plan and go with NMMC it's going to take longer to get sleeved but it's probably saver. I don't get to see the surgeon until November 9th which seem so far away, I'm so ready for this to happen. Let me tell you guys the weight is piling on I swear I look at food and gain weight. I have clothes in my closet that I could wear the beginning of the year but can't seem to fit them now. My sister in law and me workout 3 days a week but I'm still gaining and no it's not muscle. Sick and tired of being overweight like this. Just venting a little bit.

It's been a while since I've updated. Well let me start by saying the doctor in Tupelo wouldn't do my surgery because I have Lupus, so I was pretty bummed out after that. I called the doctor in Las Vegas and he said he could do my surgery but I was worried about what they other doctor said so I looked up people who have Lupus that has had this surgery. There were only comment made to whereas they had the surgery and no complications so I was happy to hear that because I was worried. So as we speak tomorrow I start my liquid Diet and then have my surgery on 8th of Dec. This is going to be a long two weeks but it will be so worth it in the end. If anyone out there that has Lupus and have had the surgery please don't be shy share with me all comments welcomed. Good luck to anyone going through the liquid diet at this time. Will update on my progress in a few days.
