Recommended Posts

I'm in Appleton and my surgery was done in Neenah by Dr. Wasco and Dr. Georgen. Nice to see some fellow Wisconsin sleevers here!

Hi! I'm being sleeved at Froedtert in Milwaukee on December 17th. I have Dr. Wallace. Anyone else have him? I love his straight-forward, no-nonsense approach. I'm curious about the hospital stay at Froedtert. I could've gone to Dean in Madison (we live in between Madison and Milwaukee), which seems much nicer, almost like a hotel - but chose Milwaukee because of the good reviews of Dr. Wallace.

Hello I'm in Milwaukee

I was sleeved on February 4th at Columbia St. Mary My surgeon was Dr. Craig Siverhus. I wil be at the one month point on Marcy 4th and so far I have lost at my 3 week follow-up 25 lbs and my beginning weight was 250. My goal is to get to 140 lbs and to run a full 2 miles by next summer.

So I just got a letter from my surgeon (form letter) that he is retiring effective immediately. Anyone know details about Dr. Kemmerling in Green Bay.

I am about 8 months out from surgery and doing well. Now, trying to decide if I should follow up with anyone else, or just move forward.

I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Wallace in October. How did you like him? I like the straight forward approach with my physicians. I think the Bariatric wing of the hospital was remodeled recently.

Hi I'm from Oshkosh and had my sleeve done by Dr Prewitt in Milwaukee on Sept 8th. I had no pain and no issues so far. Down 20+ lbs since surgery.

I was so dissappointed in Dr Kemmerling. I was 5 months into the process when he announced his"retirement" now he is advetising he is doing vein surgery. Very fishy!! I do like my new sergeon Dr Zane Prewitt. He did a fantastic job on my sleeve. So happy I was forced to make the change.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
