I'm near the st Louis area just have some questions on your surgeon hospital etc.

Hey guys!! I'm from stl and hopefully getting the sleeve in the next few months! I'm really excited but really nervous. I'm getting it done at DePaul hospital with dr. Morales

Good luck girl.

Glad to see your surgery went well, excited to see how it goes for you in the next few months!

Thank you so much

I am from Jefferson City and was sleeved on 4/11 in Columbia. I am tolerating food very well and have lost about 70# since Sept with 20 of that since surgery.

That's awesome.

How are you feeling? Will you be able to return to work this week?

Definitely not. I'm still in too much pain to sit up in a chair for to long because of the location of my main incision. I have been waking up with an upset stomach everyday and by the time I get moving an take a shower I'm ready for some Tylenol from being so sore and laying down to rest. I'm giving it another week and I'm going to focus on healing that incision because I'm so ready to go back to work this being laid up crap isn't fun.

Take care and just focus on getting your strength back!!

Thanks feelin great today!!

I am having my sleeve done July 11th at Despere Hospital. Dr. Matt Ricks with My new self . I live in Ballwin.

I'm having my EGD in the morning at Jefferson Regional with Dr Snow!

Hi everyone-I am new to the site. I am a patient of Dr. Minkin's, hopefully having my surgery done in September. I am halfway thru my 3 months of Dr. supervised weight loss. I have met with the surgeon. He seems great. Anybody else here have Minkin?

Hi, I'm from STL and having my sleeve with Dr Snow on nov 19. I was originally ached for Aug but decided to delay it because I am going on a 2 wk cruise and did not want to worry about complications away from home. So how are you doing now with the sleeve? I too have been torn between having band and sleeve. But I have done a lot of reading in FB groups and am leading towards the sleeve. Why did u decide to choose sleeve?

I was sleeved at Mercy formerly St.Johns by dr. Hawver I had a few complications but, have been sleeved at home and doing better.
