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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
