OMG Jen! I am in Parma also!! I had six months and will finish that up this month on the 15th with my nutritionist. But I am starting nursing school the end of this month and I can't take time off so I am going to schedule it when I am on winter break! I am having a hard time...with no one to talk to about what I am going through! My friends are only half supportive! Husband is supportive completely but still has fears about me leaving him afterwards! I would love to chat and since we are so close maybe we could walk and workout together! Being so close in our journey it would be wonderful to have someone to talk to!!!

Jen-where are you at? I'm in cleveland also!!! My surgeon is Schauer. I am looking at December surgery. It's nice to meet people in the same area at the same hospital!! How many months of preop do you have?

What hospital are you planning on going to? I am a patient at the cleveland clinic and I have dr Schauer and him and his team are amazing!!! Let me know if you need any advice!!

Hi kpenney727! I loved i and not because I'm an employee The staff was great. I didn't experience any complications other than a gas attack. My surgery was on a Monday and that Friday evening prior to I came down with an awful cough. I was on my pre-op diet and didn't bother to ask if I could take anything for the cough. After the procedure the hardest part for me was the pain associated with my incisions and me coughing. Even though they were prescribed I didn't go home on pain meds. I didn't feel as though I needed them. Dr. Schauer and his resident, Dr. Aminian were great and took great care of me. Dr. Schauer's nurse, Michael, is extremely helpful and full of knowledge. The team as a whole were wonderful IMO, from beginning to end. Thanks so much for replying!!! I am excited and have not had any complaints so far!! Everyone has been great and so helpful and always right there when I need anything!!

I have dr Schauer....I love to hear about you experience!!! I am having RNY done in December with him.

I'm in cleveland! Having my surgery at the clinic in early December. Would love to hear everyone's experience with the clinic staff and drs!! My surgeon is Schauer.

Hi! I am having mine done at the clinic but still in preop stage! Who was your surgeon? How was the hospital stay? I'm nervous but excited looking at a early December surgery date hopefully!
