Dr. Kevin Krause @ Beaumont

I'm gonna be honest... I was hoping you would say that. I am also using Krause via Beaumont Weight Loss Rochester. The docs estimate surgery will be in Feb. Nervous. Not terrified, but definitely nervous! :)

I was too! Dr. Krause is awesome! I've been a nurse for 13 years & half of that was with critical surgical patients. So I have experience from both sides. It wasn't easy, but if weight keeps coming off I will have zero complaints. Good luck!

I am a Beaumont nurse too- going through the Royal Oak Beaumont Weight Loss Center on Coolidge. Just wondering if you had any experience with Dr. Chengelis? He presented at the seminar & seemed to know his stuff, but I wanted a fellow nurse's opinion :).

No sorry, I haven't met him yet. But I love the weightloss center on Coolidge. So comprehensive, excellent support! If I hear anything about him I'll pass it along

Any Michigan Sleevers getting sleeved in November? I'm set to be sleeved Nov 21st at St. Mary's in Grand Rapids by Dr. Kemmeter. Any other GHP patients that can relate the 2 wk diet? I know so many people are on a 2 wk liquid only diet and I know GHP doesn't do that so I wanted to get some tips from people who might be able to relate! I am on day 3 of mine and feel like I have been starving 24/7 but have only dropped a couple of pounds. Am I going to lose enough for surgery? Do they make you lose a certain amount? I know on the paperwork I received it says if I "maintain or gain weight" by surgery day that the surgery will be cancelled...

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
