Any Dr. Oakley patients?

Hi

Doesn't look like anyone has posted in a while, just wondered if anyone is getting or has gotton the VSG and what your experience has been so far? I will be getting it probably mid sept if everything goes right.

Thanks
Lisa

I used Dr. Valentine, but I think they're all good.  I had a band and had to have it removed and revised to a VSG.  Make sure you attend the support meetings and cooking class.  They're really great and help you prepare.

 

I think overall that they have a great program.

That's good to know, I think Dr. Oakley will do a good job!  Thanks for responding, there aren't a whole lot of Idahoans on this site, it's nice to stick together!

Hi, I am new to this site, I had my wls on September 23, 2013 by Dr. Oakley. I am so glad I did it, and so glad to see the scale move!

I live in Parma, Idaho. It does seem like this is a very active forum, but hope to hear from other Idaho'ans!

 

Hi
We had our surgery the same day, mine was rhe first one! I'm surprised I didn't see you at the hospital. No one was walking the halls when I was there. I have lost 65 pounds altogether and 30 since surgery! So cool that happened. I am usually on the vsg site or over 50 bmi on obesity help but wherever you want to write me is good! Hope your doing well

Hi Lisa,

So good to hear from you and CONGRATULATIONS! on your weight loss!! I had RNY, and am glad I had the surgery. I have bounced back quickly and am also glad to see the scale going down! I have lost 31 pounds since the surgery for a total loss of 37 # .

It is so nice to connect!

Have a good week-end

Hi Lisa,

I have been wondering how you are doing? Are you feeling pretty good? How is your weight loss going? I am feeling good, and after a stall, have started losing weight again. I feel grateful that I have not had any real problems with the surgery, or even after. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I'm Dr. Oakley patient. Surgery 6 years ago. Had a few problems at 5 years, but doing well now. I would like to drop 10 lbs.  I have to remember how! RNY is what I had.
