Joplin, Mo Sleevers?

I'm in Springfield. Kinda crazy' date=' but I couldn't even find a surgeon near me that even does sleeves. So I kinda think that there probably aren't too many people in this area that have them.[/quote']

We have a terrific surgeon & support team in Spfd.....I was sleeved on the 13th

Well, he must've been hiding from me,

I looked for a local surgeon for a couple years. Everybody wanted to do a bypass, which I wanted no part of

Who is the doctor? I searched and searched and never could find one.

Who is the doctor? I searched and searched and never could find one.

His name is Chris Edwards & he is with St.Johns Mercy. There is a whole Baratric group who are amazing!! Support group meets once a month.

I'm in Joplin & have been researching the sleeve. Is anyone still active on this thread? I'd like to see how everyone is progressing.

I just joined this thread and am in SW MO and am just starting my journey. I have to have 3 months of nutrition classes and a psych evaluation before insurance will pay. I begin all that in Jan. so I hopefully will be looking at a late spring surgery.
