Hi Bonnie! Although we are using different doctors it is so nice to see another AZ patient! Do you have a surgery date? Bypass or sleeve? I am just a little over 3 months post op. I'm in the Glendale area, would love to connect with someone from around the same area!!

So nice to see someone local! I'm in Peoria...and yes, I'm scheduled for surgery 7/5, with the bypass...unfortunately had the band at one point and with complications had to have it removed 4 years ago. Dr Swain helped with the removal so went back to him for advice on next steps. There is so much information on this site I'm just trying to find all that I can. But so looking forward to having the surgery out of the way. I see you are 94 lbs down, that is incredible, congratulations!

Hi fellow AZers! I'm in Mesa! I am still pre-op...awaiting insurance approval. I did all the requirements, so the ball is in their court now! Dr. Sprunger will be my surgeon as well. I'm excited, but anxious and a bit worried about post-op walking. I have HUGE back problems, so walking is very painful for me as it is.

Hello, fellow Arizonan, Hope all is going well. I'm pre-op as well.
