Vsg In Minneapolis Area?

if you've had VSG in the twin cities area, I'd love to hear your feedback on your surgeon and satisfaction with the dr., hospital, etc.

I'm not definitely decided yet, but if I go thru with it, I will be self-pay.

Thank you very much for your help.

If there is anyone who wants to talk about their experiences and their journey, from Minnesota or the Minneapolis area and surrounding suburbs that would be a great idea. Maybe even meet up in the future at a common destination and share the experience of our weight loss journeys. Have a nice day everyone!

I will be having surgery on Thursday at Unity with Dr. Johnson. I am getting excited but not nervous as I have already had a band installed and removed before. I pretty much know what to expect both after surgery and liquid diet afterwards. I would be interested in a meetup if anybody else is as well. I know I need to get to the hospital support group because I think I will have better success this time around.

Is the group private/hidden? I don't want my fb friends to see my posts.

It said it was a private group when I requested to join but I also do not want my FB friends to see it either.
