Husband and wife team will become " sleevers" next week on Feb. 1, 2012. Wondering if there are others in the area that have already had surgery or are newbies too. Counting down the days on pre-op liquid diet.

BeliveinginLisa...are we still planning to meet next weekend? I wanted to invite my niece if the meeting is still on.

I'm planning on coming. I would love to see how everyone is doing since our last meeting.

You should come to the meeting, we will have it in February at the Lead Bank on 7 highway outside of Blue Springs. They have a cafe there and the serve Big Train Protein drinks. It is fun to meet other sleevers and talk. Believinginlisa heads up the meetings. It would be great to meet you!

Hey guys. I'm in Lee's Summit. I'm still in the 6-visit pre-sugery for insurance approval stage and have 3 visits down and 3 to go. For years my PCP, Dr. Cheray, pushed to have bariatric surgery, but I was A) scared of it and wanted to have the success on my own. And for years I struggled with weight loss on my own. Finally I talked to my Dr on my own terms and he was very happy with my decision. He referred me to Dr. Drahota and I will be having the sleeve hopefully in April or May after my 6th visit. I am very excited to be the me I was supposed to be, and have a life changing experience. I know I'm still ways off from being a sleever in KC, but I still wanted to say hi and congrats to those who have already had success.

MISH Lenexa, Ks, Dr. Sabharwal.
