I am with Dr. Hoehn also. Scheduled for January 10. Can't get here soon enough. I am also self pay so things have progressed very fast. I am psyched. I have my second appointment tomorrow and start my preop diet on Thursday.

I was sleeved on 12/26 by Dr Kowalski. I was self pay so the process took about 45 days. I am one week out and down 15 pounds since surgery. 24 pounds down since my first visit with Kowalski. Love my sleeve :)

I am using insurance. I was denied at first, but approved second time around. I'm going with the bariatric program at Wesley. My surgeon is Nicholas Brown. His office is actually at Via Christi St Francis, but he does the bariatrics for Wesley too. My surgery is Feb 4! It's soooo nice to find a fellow Wichita friend :)

I'm doing really well. Very little pain. Zero gas issues. The key is walking. I am learning that small bites are much easier to handle Have a positive attitude and you will be fine. Good luck!

I am almost 3 weeks out and down about 31 pounds. Just now adding things to my diet. I still have panic attacks like "what have I done" but over all very happy. I think I will be fine when I can get around better, have more energy and start working out.

We could start a support group for us that live in the kC area.

Dr. Hoen's office has a support group once a month. The next one is Feb 7th 3:30-5:00. Then in March they will have one from 6:00-7:30. I dont have the March date. But every other month they alternate the times. Here is the phone number if you need to call them 913-677-6319.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
