Hi was wondering if anyone from Ohio has had the sleeve surgery. My name is Lindsay I'm 30 yr old I have a husband and two children and I have only been heavy for about 9 yrs, I blew up after having my daughter in 2003. I am dealing with complications after surgery. The night after my surgery my stomach swelled shut leaving me not able to drink or eat. I know have a pic line and iv nutrion with no date to get off. Anyone else out there have this happen?

I am from Middletown too. I am with dr teel out of Miami valley hospital. Surgery date is nov 6th!

I got my sleeve from dr teel on june 5, 2012 at mvh. I have nothing but great things to say. Everyone involved was amazing. Good luck.

I'm in Columbus. I don't have my date yet, but will be going through OSU!

Also, if you haven't made one yet, I highly recommend coming to the monthly support groping meetings. The next one is nov 13 at mvh. 6:30-8:30. You can get first hand answers to any questions you may still have, and, we're a pretty fun group.

It is nice. It's a 2 hr session. 1st hour is a speaker to give general wls advice, then we break up by wls types and basically share what we've done. It's been a great help just knowing that we have others that have been where we are. And, the sleevers are a fun group at our meetings

Can ppl not sleeved at MVH go? Mine was at grandview and I don't think they have one.

Well came to the other hospital they are admitting me. Dr said I am throwing up my own spit and my dr needs to do a scope

Yes, every week, we have a few no ops come to listen and ask questions. I really enjoy my group.

Sorry artsong, I misread your question. I can't see why not. I think it's mostly people from our surgeons, but, I'm sure we wouldn't kick you out if you showed up
