I live just outside Lawrence. Had my sleeve done in Florida in June when I lived down there. My surgeon, Dr Ache at Suncoast Bariatrics, was awesome. Down 90 lbs so far.

Did anyone use Saint Luke's on the plaza and Dr. Sorensen? I'm scheduled for this coming Tuesday and really debating going through with it, scare to death:(

I used St Lukes South in Overland Park. Dr. Slayden.

It was well worth it and I have not had any regrets.

I would be lying if I told you I was not nervous too, when I had the surgery. Coming up on one year post op, But again for me it was well worth it and the whole team was very supportive.

I was nervous too, but everything turned out fine so far. I had my surgery Nov 4th and went home the following morning. No nausea and very little pain. Only used the pain meds the first two days (including the night in the hospital). Main thing to do is get up and walk as much as you can tolerate after you get to your room (and home) so you can work the gas out of your system. I'm down over 30 lbs and still dropping weight. Happy as a lark that I'm already having to switch out of some big clothes into smaller sizes.

I was sleeved by Dr. Hamilton at KC Bariatric on 12/18/14. Everything went great. Day 4 post-op still have some pain at the incision where the resected stomach was removed, but it's gotten better each day. Haven't had any other problems.

I'm from Gardner,KS and I was just sleeved yesterday! I would love to join a meet and greet group if you all continue after January. (I think this weekend would be a stretch so soon after surgery) but would love to join!

There are support groups at KC Bariatric Hosp. I plan to attend those. They're on my way home from work anyway.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
