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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
