Hi, you are so excited and full of anticipation. We had Dr. Hoehn from Shawnee Mission Bariatrics. We feel that he was a wonderful choice for us. Husband has lost about 60 and me 45. Next week will be 2 months out. Are you having the sleeve?

Congratulations on your combined weight loss. That is just awesome!!!!

I am really excited and counting down the days. I am having my surgery and KU Medical Center with Dr. Selim. I am very happy with him and his nurses/support staff. They have been just wonderful. They have made sure I have everything I need in place. Heck, I have about a 2 inch binder of stuff to read (once I printed out all the attachments they sent me) - or I should say that I have been reading to prepare for all of this. Everything from Vitamins, to my pre and post-op diets to follow, to signs and symptoms of issues that might come up, etc. Now, I just wait for my pre-op appointment which wow... is tomorrow! and then I have my EGD on April 6 then on to my surgery.

I see we are both from the south side of town. I have family in Harrisonville.

Good luck to you too Kansasgirl. Let us know how it goes for you. Nice that your husband can go with you. I would think it would be a bit much to go it alone going to Mexico and all. Take care and keep us posted.

Resurrecting an old post... Anyone go to support group meetings? I had my surgery in Topeka, but live in Lees Summit. I'm wondering if there are any meetings around here I can go to.

I go to a meeting once a month at my surgeons office, but it would be great to meet and visit if there were a few of us on the Missouri side. I live in Pleasant Hill, just south of Blue Springs. Anyone interested?

I've heard that lots of meetings can be restricted to patients only...

I'm in LS. I'm certainly interested. Anyone else?

I also go to one associated with my surgeons office at KU Medwest, but I would be interested. I am in Belton, MO. Wonder if we could set a group up on Meet-up? Has anyone ever done a group on their? I belong to groups on Meet-up, but know nothing about setting one up. It is nice as far as getting meeting information out. Has anyone searched Meet-up to find if there is already a local group? Keep me posted.

I have never heard of meet-up so would need additional infor. But right now there are three of us. Belton, Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit, we could find a meeting spot....maybe in Greenwood? See if we get any more responses coming and then try to set something up???

Thanks...yes glad i don't have to go alone.. Thought i might ask if you received any of that info in electronic format do you mind sharing?? If not i understand.. but i love to get all the information i can..

I would love to join a support group but can't say that i will have time.. maybe once in awhile.. i live clear out in topeka so it'd be a longer journey for me. .. and working two jobs and having six children i don't get much extra time...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
